Anderson Commuii ty Development Analyst � ---- � N o. 8�-�Zo � �P[annin� Commission Report CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - SIGN Hopkins School District �270 PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT N0: CUP87-15 MAY 14 , 1987 PURPOSE: To review and recommend action on a Conditional use Permit to construet a 60 square foot sign . BACKGROUND• Name of Applicant: Hopkins School District �270 Address of Property: 1001 Highway No . 7 Present Zoning: R-1 -D Reason for request: To provide announcements for district/community news and events . "'� Nature of Request: Ordinance allows a 60 square foot sign for a school . The applieant is proposing to erect a 60 square foot (6x10) free standing sign on �the present site of the Hopkins Eisenhower Community center. The proposed sign will have permanent 8 ineh letters identifying the Sehool District with 5 lines of 9 ineh changeable copy. The sign will be backlite and the address of the property will be on the pole . In the spring of 1985 the School District applied for a sign variance to exceed the square footage . At that time a 12 square foot sign was allowed . The proposed sign was 160 square feet per side . This variance was denied . Since that time the Zoning Ordinance was changed to allow a 60 square foot sign with a Conditional use Permit The ordinance states : "Signs may be permitted by Conditional Use � Permit for public parks and playgrounds , churches , synagogues , public libraries , publie museums , public art galleries , public and paroehial sehools , municipal buildings , No. CUP87-15 Page 2 --� golf courses , country clubs , community centers , colleges , universities and private schools , hospitals , and sanitariums , based on the following design criteria and other conditions the City Couneil may require : (a) Size: The size shall be proportional to the size of the Facility , need for signage , frontage on street(s) , location , visibility , and development in the area. The maximum size should not exceed 60 square feet per sign surface with a maximum area of 120 square feet per single sign . (b) Height : No free standing sign shall exceed fifteen feet in height . (c) LiAhting: ( 1 ) lighting shall be indirect or it shall be backlighting (2) neon lighting , flashing lighting , and/or rotating lighting (d) Design: Signs attaehed to the building shall be integrated with the building design and arehitecture in terms of --� materials , colors , lighting and placement ; signs not attached to the buildings shall be arehitecturally treated and cobrdinated with the prineipal building by use of compatible materials and design. (e) Location : No free standing signs shall be located less than 25 feet from any street right-of-way line . ( f) Sign Purpose: The principal purpose of the sign permitted under this section shall be to identify the publie or institutional use made of the property . The Community Center is surrounded by a multi-family area to the west , Highway No . 7 to the south , a church to the east and a golf course to the north. The Director of Engineering has reviewed the placement of the sign and found it aceeptable as to visibility of traffic . The proposed sign will have a 25 foot setback from the frontage road . The sign will be located in the grass area in front of the Community Center. --� CUP87-15 page 3 � ANALYSIS: The Community Center has a sign identifying it on the building , but if there is an event at the Center, portable signs are used . This sign will eliminate the use of portable signs . The proposed sign meets the requirements as outlined in the ordinanee for a Conditional Use Permit . The 5 lines of changeable copy will provide the Community Center a place to advertise the many different events that are provided by the Center . The size of the proposed sign is proportional to the size of the site on whieh it will be placed . The business uses surrounding Highway 7 are allowed an 80 square feet size . However , of the business uses , many have larger signs because the old ordinanee allowed larger signs than 80 square feet . The proposed sign at the Community Center will eompare with the surrounding signs . ALTERNATIVES• 1 . Approve the Conditional Use Permit 2 . Deny the Conditional Use Permit ^ RECOMMENDATION: I recommend Alternative #1 . The following are suggested Findings oF Fact should the Commission recommend approval : 1 . The sign meets the conditions as outlined in the ordinance . Condition: 1 . That no portable signs are used on the Community Center site . Respectfully submitted , � rn Nanc , S .
