overview. '
Zion Lutheran Church is requesting a conditional use permit 'to
have a larger sign than allowed by the Zoning Ordinance. section
570.46 allows signs that are larger ,than allowed, by conditional
use permit for churches. The maximum sign allowed by conditional
use permit is 60 square feet per side.
The existing sign is approximately 4'x 4' and mounted on ,a stone
base. The proposed sign will be constructed on the existing sign
, base and extend west towards 5th Avenue.
~ The applicant has also requested a variance because the
conditional use permit requires a 25 foot setback. The proposed
sign will have a 16'1" setback.
There was little discussion on the conditional use permit because
of the discussion during the variance request. Most of the
discussion focused on the size of the sign. Mr. Racek again
stated he was concerned with the size of the sign.
Primary Issues to Consider.
o What are the specifics of the proposed sign?
o What are the requirements for a conditional use permit
for a sign?

The applicant meets all the conditions except for the 25 foot
setback. The applicant has applied for a variance.

As stated in the other report, the staff is recommending that the
variance is denied. The staff's initial recommendation was to
deny the conditional use permit also. However, if the setback
were changed to the requirements of a 25 foot setback the staff
would recommend approval of the applicants sign.

proposed by the applicant. By approving the conditional use
permit, the applicant will be able to construct a sign
, closer to the property line than allowed.
4It 2. Approve the conditional use permit with the condition that
the sign have a 25 foot setback. By approving the
conditional use permit with conditions, the applicant will
be able to construct the proposed sign with a 25 foot
setback.

use permit the applicant will not be able to construct the
proposed sign.
4. Continue for further information. If the City Council
i'ndicates that further information is needed, the item
should be continued.
