I The other modifications discussed were to expand the existing Cub sign and the existing ground sign north of 39`h Avenue to provide signage opportunities for other tenants within the Center. Analysis: Ms.Thomas filed an application to the City,including fees to amend the existing PUD agreement to modify the existing sign plan. The City Ordinance at 152.206(B), REVISIONS AND/OR CHANGES, states that changes in uses, significant changes in location, size, or height of structures, any rearrangement of lots, blocks, and building tracts, changes in provision of common spaces and all other changes to the approved final development plan may be made only after a public hearing conducted by the Planning Commission. While some of the proposed modifications may be considered minor,Staff determined that with the addition of ground signs, a public hearing of the proposed modifications would be appropriate. The original proposal from Doran Companies for sign modification that included the addition of three (3) signs but that plan has been reconsidered as the result of the discussion with the Planning Commission at the April 20`h meeting. The revised proposal for the sign plan amendment has the Cub sign and an existing ground sign at 3900 Silver Lake Road still being expanded to accommodate the signage needs of other tenants in Silver Lake Village and two (2) additional ground signs. The Northwest Quadrant Redevelopment Plan, page 5.11 suggests design standards for the signs proposed for Silver Lake Village. This redevelopment plan states that signage should be complementary to the overall design concept of the area and signage on buildings should be encouraged and where not possible, to allow only low monument-style signs. The Developer's PUD Agreement states at Tab #4,Vol.I, DD. that the developer shall also have the right to place directional monument signs in the public right of way of 391h Avenue NE in the locations shown on the approved Site Plan. One of the proposed monument signs is sited in the right-of-way of 39`h Avenue NE (NW corner of Erickson Tract - Freedom Gas site). The other proposed sign is sited in the SE corner of the Walmart Tract, along Silver Lake Road. While the Developer's PUD Agreement does state that the developer shall also have the right to place directional monument signs in the public right of way of 39`h Avenue NE in the locations shown on the approved Site Plan, the location as proposed in the sign plan amendment before the Planning Commission is not designated on the original site plan. Findings: 1. The Cub sign expansion is within the parameters as established by the original sign plan in the Developer's PUD Agreement. The proposed addition to the Cub sign increases the height of the sign to 26 feet,well within the maximum height of 31 feet as stipulated at 8. Signs, a. Cub Pylon, page 21. 2. The number of new ground signs is to be reduced to two (2); one sign is proposed to be located southeast corner of the Walmart site along the west side of Silver Lake Road at 3800 Silver Lake Road; and the other sign is to be located on the south side of 391h Avenue, on the NW corner of 3810 Silver Lake Road, the Freedom Gas Station site. The initial proposal discussed at the Concept Review,April 20, 2010, showed three (3) new ground signs. 3. The existing ground sign located north of 39`h Avenue, west side of Silver Lake Road at 3900 Silver Lake Road is to be modified to allow for an increase in the number of tenant signs. 4. No proposals for modification are planned or submitted for the currently existing Walmart sign or the entrance signs at 39`h Avenue and Silver Lake Road. 05182010 SLV PUD Amend Signs.doc 1
