Detailed Background.
Ord1nAnQe 570.41 atataa R Applications tor other proposed sigD peraits
1nvolv1ng a lesser setbaok than that required by the zoning oode a.y
be granted only by and under a oonditional use permit and under the
applioable provisions and regulations of oonditional use require.ents
set forth in the zoning oode. The conditional use permits say require
periodio reviews and may be can~eled fof' cause."
The proposed 8ign will be 12'x 6' and 35' in height. A. 250 square
toot sign 1a allowed in an 1-1 district.
The sign will be internally lit.
There will be no other aignaga on tbe alte.
!!1alysia.
- Is a lesser setback needed?
e The building setback and s1gn setbacka are both 20 teet. 1 S1&D
setbaok abQuld be less tban tbe building setback slnce it ia 10g10al
to believe that the algn tor a building ls placed In tront ot the
building. If this s1gn were to be setback 20 teet tro. tbe tront and
aide property 11nea tbe Visibility froD tbe interseotion ot 7th Street
and 11th Avenue would be very poor. T.he gaa station to tbe eaat vill
be planting trees along tbeir north property line 00 7th S~reet whicb
will turtber reduce sign 't'isib11ity. Statt viII be reeo..ending an
ordtnance change for sign setbacks in the near future.
- Vill the proposed sign bave an adverse affect on the surrounding
parcels?
Industrial uses are to the north or the applioants site and tbe new
gas stat10n to the east, \lestbrooke patio homes are to the south and
the landfill is to the west. Tbe proposed sign should have no attect
on any of the surrounding parcels. If the Conditional Use Permit is
granted the sign will be moved furtber from tbe residential area. The
sign will be located closer to the gas stat10n but this side is the
rear of the station 50 the sign will not block the view from the
station.
