Memo to Mayor and City Council/CU 00-22 <br />July 17, 2000 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The applicant would like a store identification sign on the north side of the <br />building that will be visible from School Street and south bound traffic on <br />Highway 169. Since the 1 hour photo service is an important marketing tool for <br />the store, they would like three 1 HR. Photo signs to go along with the proposed <br />3 business signs. <br /> <br />The total sign area currently approved for the building is 114 square feet, or <br />about 5% of the total square footage of the front elevation. The additional signs <br />total 82.5 square feet. The total signage on the building would increase to 196.5 <br />square feet, or about 9% of the total square footage of the front elevation. There <br />is 65.5 square feet of signage proposed for each of the three building sides. <br /> <br />Planninq Commission Meeting <br /> <br />At the Planning commission held on June 27th no one spoke at the public <br />hearing. The applicant explained the reasons behind the request. The Planning <br />Commission recommended approval of the request for additional signage. They <br />also directed staff to research amending the sign ordinance to allow signage <br />based on total square footage of the front building elevation. This would allow the <br />business to decide to how best utilize that square footage. This method was used <br />in determining the amount of wall signage allowed for Walmart and Home Depot. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff and the Planning Commission do not believe this is an excessive amount of <br />signage and recommend the City Council approve Snyder's request for the <br />additional signage. <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\SCOTT~CU0022CC.DOC <br /> <br /> <br />
