ANTHONY SHOPPING CENTER 19 20 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes presented the staff report. 21 22 Mr. Greg Kozulla, Kozulla& Associates, appeared before the Planning Commission and 23 explained that the Planning Commission previously reviewed the proposed amended sign plan 24 and approved it,provided that the City Council was provided with some additional exterior 25 elevational drawings. He presented a matrix and drawings that identified each of the buildings 26 and the tenant wall length and height and square footage of each store frontage. He stated that 27 the store frontage will not exceed 3SF of tenant signage per lineal foot of tenant store front. He 28 explained the matrix goes through each space alphabetically and shows the maximum length of 29 sign, maximum square footage of sign, both on a 3SF rule and a 15%rule. He indicated that the 30 last paragraph of the sign plan proposal discusses the potential for future ground signs and he 31 presented a sketch showing the current freestanding pylon sign on Old Highway 88. He stated 32 that one sign is permitted per property entrance and requested that the Planning Commission 33 consider approving a future monument sign. He noted that they do not have a design for a future 34 sign and they would be required to coordinate this with the Zoning Code and staff if they are 35 permitted to have a second sign in the future. He stated that parking was discussed with the City 36 Council on September 27th and it was noted that the current Zoning Code requires 9' x 19' 37 parking spaces but because the lot was built before 1976, it was their understanding that parking 38 would be grandfathered in,as suggested in the staff report. He indicated that they cannot meet 39 the 9' x 19' space requirement because of land locks on the property and it is their intention to 40 have the same parking layout and space count as exists today following completion of mill and 41 overlay. He noted that they are not requiring tenants to purchase new signs and as the fagade 42 project is completed and new signs installed,they are asking to re-install the existing signage 43 with tenants having the option to buy new signs. He added that any new tenant would be 44 required to have a backlit sign. 45
