CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - GREENFIELD APARTMENTS
1020 Feltl Court
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the approval of the following motion: "Move to adopt
Resolution No: 89-55 approvinq Conditional Use Permit to allow an
identification siQn over 12 square feet at Greenfield Apartments. "
Approval of this Conditional Use Permit will allow the existing sign
to remain.
The Commission unanimously approved the Conditional Use Permit to
allow a sign greater than 12 square feet.
overview.
Greenfield recently completed the second phase of the their apartments
and in the process put a sign on the northwest corner of Feltl Court
and Smetana Road. This sign was erected without a permit. A
conditional use permit is needed because the sign exceeds 12 square
feet.
_ In 1988 the City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit to allow a
sign on Feltl Court for the first phase of Greenfield apartments. The
subject sign is almost identical to the sign approved in 1988. The
only difference between the signs is that the newer sign is two sided
and has the phone number to the apartment office on the sign. The
panel of the sign is 29 square feet and approximately 5 feet in
height.
Staff is recommending approval because of the lack of visibility from
Smetana Road for the Greenfield apartments.
Eric Engy representing Stuart Corporation appeared before the
Commission. Mr. Engh stated that he thought all permits had been
obtained for the second phase. There was little discussion on this
item.
Primary Issues to Consider.
o Does the sign meet all the requirements for a Conditional Use
Permit?
o Does the sign create a traffic visibility problem?
o Is there a need for additional signage for the apartments?

Detailed Backqround.
The following is the design criteria that is required for the subject
sign:
a. size: The size shall be proportional to the size of the
facility, need for signing, 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) lighting:
1) lighting shall be indirect or it shall be backlighting
2) neon lighting, flashing lighting, and/or rotating
lighted sign shall be prohibited
d) design: signs attached to the building shall be integrated
^ with the building design and architecture in terms of
materials, colors lighting and placements; signs not attached
to the buildings shall be architecturally treated and
coordinated with the principal 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 public or
institutional use made of the property.
Sign Materials
The sign is made out of brick and redwood. The brick matches the
brick on the apartments and the background color of the redwood
matches the paint on the apartments. The base and sides are brick
which support the redwood sign.
The signs are coordinated with the apartments with compatible
materials and design.
Liqhtinq.
The sign is lit externally from a ground source.
�"' Primary Issues to Consider.
o Does the sign meet all the requirements for a Conditional Use
Permit?
The applicants sign complies with all the requirements as outlined in
the detailed background for a conditional use permit for the subject
sign. The only reason for the additional sign is to identify the
��

o Does the sign create a traffic visibility problem?
The Director of Engineering has reviewed the placement of the sign and
found it acceptable. The sign is 30 feet from Smetana Road and 43
feet from Feltl Court. The sign is on a slight incline above Smetana
Road and Feltl Court.
o Does the site need additional signage?
Because of the trees and hill along Smetana Road, the apartment
buildings are not easily seen from Smetana Road. The first sign built
is not visible from Smetana Road.
If a car is driving west on Smetana Road the Greenfield Apartments are
not visible because of the St. Therese Apartments. If a car is
driving east on Smetana Road the apartments are not seen that well
because the apartments are at a lower elevation than the road.
^ The applicant has designed signs that are low profile and not large.
The subject sign has landscaping around it. This landscaping consists
of sod, rock and shrubs.
The site can support two signs because of the large size of the site.
Alternatives.
l. Approve the Conditional Use Permit to allow an identification
sign on the northwest corner of Feltl Court and Smetana Road
for Greenfield apartments. By approving the sign Greenfield
apartments will be able to keep the sign on Feltl Court and
Smetana Road.
2. Deny the Conditional Use Permit to allow an identification
sign on the northwest corner of Feltl Court and Smetana Road
for Greenfield Apartments. By denying the sign Greenfield
apartments will have to remove the existing sign on Feltl
Court and Smetana Road.
3. Continue for further information. If the Commission feels
that further information is needed, the item should be
continued.
