June 18, 2024 Page 3 Avenue and approximately 18 feet from Kenzie Terrace. The plans indicate the overall height of the sign to be 8 feet the maximum height for such signs. The Dynamic Display will be just under 5 square feet, which is significantly less than 35% of the total allowable size for such signs. The total sign display area, including both the digital and non-digital surface, is approximately 47 square feet. Ground signs requirements for uses in the C zoning district are subject to the following requirements: Maximum Height: 8 feet - Proposed height of 6.5 feet Setback: 15 feet from street curb – Proposed setbacks of 18 and 20 feet Sign Area: 150 square feet – Proposed size of 48 square feet Dynamic Displays are further subject to these additional requirements: Percentage of allowable sign area for district: 35% - Proposed size is 5 sf – 11% of sign size Minimum duration of continuous image: 8 Seconds Transitions: Image changes must be instantaneous, without special effects or gradual transitions Messages: Must be complete with each image, not continuing in context or intent to the next images Color: Must be monochromatic against a solid black background The physical dimensions of the proposed sign are within all requirements of the relevant zoning restrictions. The operational aspects (transition, duration, messaging, and color) are ongoing regulatory requirements of the sign. The images included with the application indicate consistency with the color requirements. The base of the sign will be established as having decorative masonry block, consistent with the requirements for such signs. The primary review issue with this sign is that the change from a pole-mounted sign to a monument sign will raise potential concern over visibility of traffic exiting Pahl Avenue onto Kenzie Terrace. However, the setback from the Kenzie Terrace curb line will allow traffic to queue behind the curb with a view of oncoming traffic from the west. The driver location for a passenger vehicle sitting at the Pahl Avenue stop sign would be approximately 5 feet ahead of the edge of the sign, so full views in both directions will be accommodated. The sign may be allowed under the CUP, if the applicant verifies that the sign will avoid any further encroachment toward Kenzie Terrace, and is otherwise constructed consistent with the dimensions in the application drawings. 2.Applicable Code Sections.
