Applicant Cornerstone Auto Resource Location/ Address 17219 Highway 10 60 Day Rule The City must take action by January 21, 2013 OVERVIEW Cornerstone Auto is converting their existing car wash building to a combination car wash/ oil change building. See planning application CU 13 -01. Cornerstone Auto Resource is requesting a variance from the sign requirements. The ordinance alloy =s "two wall signs, not to exceed 200 square feet total per occupancy." The applicant, in his narrative, asks for 212 square feet of additional signage. The applicant further notes that they are "willing to forgo a 150 square foot free standing sign ". As proposed, total signage would equal 484 square feet of signage, a variance of 284 square feet. The signs are desired to promote the new oil express operations in the same building. ANALYSIS The car wash/ oil express building serves as an accessory structure/ use for the principle car dealership use. This building was planned and constructed, as part of the Cornerstone Auto master plan, approved initially in 2006. This building is not permitted its own free standing sign, because freestanding signage is allocated based on the frontage of a lot in the district; based on the approved plat, this building would not be located on its own lot.
