CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Accent Engraving - 1600 Second Street South
PLANNING COMMISSION
REPORT: CUP87 -2
PURPOSE: To review and recommend action on a
Conditional Use Permit to locate a sign in a lesser
setback.
BACKGROUND:
Name of Applicant: Accent Engraving
Address of Property: 1600 Second Street
South
Present Zoning: I -1
Nature of Request: Ordinance requires a
Conditional Use Permit for signs with a
lesser setback than required.
Reason for Request: To locate a sign in a
lesser setback than required.
The applicant is in the process of adding signage above
the existing planter. NAPCO has sold the building
which presently has multiple tenants who desire signage
on the property. The proposed sign will be
approximately .48 feet from the County right -of -way and
approximately 19 feet from the edge of the curb. The
ordinance requires a 75 foot setback.
Ordinance 570.47 states applications for other proposed
sign permits involving a lesser setback than that
required by the zoning code may be granted only by and
under a conditional use permit and under the applicable
provisions and regulations of conditional use
requirements set forth in the zoning code.
The proposed sign will be approximately 16 feet high,
18 1/2 feet wide, post to post and contain 117 square
feet of signage per side. The planter does contain an
existing sign approximately 18 square feet.

The proposed sign will consist of 8 double faced signs
of approximately 16 square feet each.
The applicant is proposing to use Laxan for the sign
face.
The sign meets all other requirements for signs in that
district.
ANALYSIS: The great distance the applicant is required
to have the sign set back is due to the fact that the
property abutts a Residential District which requires a
75 foot setback. The Ordinance does not have setbacks
for signs, they are regulated by the building setbacks.
This problem will be addressed in the ordinance changes
in the near future, with a recommendation of a 10 to
20 foot setback. However in this situation a setback
of 10 to 20 feet might not be reasonable because of the
existing buildings proximity to the road.
The proposed sign is not of great size by itself,
however with the planter below it, it becomes quite a
large structure consisting of 276 square feet. The
proposed sign is not attached to the planter in any way
and could exist independently.
The proposed sign with the planter will be larger than
a billboard, however if applicant removes the planter
it will reduce the overall bulky appearance of the
structure without reducing the signage by a great deal.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Allow the sign to be erected with .8 foot
setback with the planter below.
2. Allow the sign to be erected with an .8 foot
setback, with the planter removed.
3. Disapprove the request.
4. Approve the Conditional Use Permit with a
larger setback.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend approval of the sign as proposed by the
applicant with the planter removed. The following are
suggested Findings of Fact and Conditions should the
Commission recommend approval:
