i + existing pylon sign nor does it include any new monument signs. Mr. Kozulla is asking that an additional monument sign at the Kenzie Terrace entrance be allowed in the future should this second sign be desired. An attached spreadsheet shows the proposed changes; the comprehensive sign plan that was adopted in 1989; and the current City Ordinance requirements for signs in the Commercial District. Mr. Kozulla addressed other issues in his letter to the City dated September 8,2011 as the result of questions asked of him by the Planning Commissioners during the concept review of the planned renovation for the Shopping Center. He received many questions regarding the parking lot for the Shopping Center because of the Center's plan to do a mill and overlay. As he stated in his letter, the Shopping Center has 86,564 gross square feet of floor area. The City Code requires that a commercial property installing a parking lot today have one (1) parking space per 300 SF of gross floor area,measuring 9' by 19'. The mill and overlay that is part of the planned renovation of the Shopping Center is nothing more than maintenance of an existing parking lot,which has existed at the current site and mostly unchanged since construction was completed in the 1960's. As such,the parking lot for the Shopping Center is considered grandfathered in and is not required to conform to the City's Zoning Ordinance on Commercial Parking, which was passed in 1976. The Center has approximately 294 parking spaces. Mr. Kozulla states,however, due to the existing landscaped islands, the size of the spaces vary from 8.5' to 10' wide and 18' long. He reports that the Center does use most of their spaces and also provides overflow parking for the Market Place Center, the retail area to the northwest of the St. Anthony Shopping Center.
