. did not seem practical given the location of the lot. Staff felt a more realistic approach would be to treat each business as freestanding in terms of applying the sign agreement. Memo to Mayor and City Council April 17, 1999 Page Freestanding buildings are allowed one wall sign unless the building abuts 2 or more public streets. In this case the building abuts three streets so they would be allowed a total of three wall signs if the building was occupied by a single tenant. However, since the building has two tenants, each tenant will need its own signange. Each tenant has frontage on two streets. Hollywood Video has frontage on Highway 169 and 191st Avenue and Leeann Chin has frontage on Freeport Street and 191st Avenue. It is staffs interpretation that according the existing sign agreement each tenant is allowed two wall signs, one for each street frontage. The applicant is not disputing that interpretation. What they are requesting is the sign agreement be amended to allow additional signage on the awnings. None of the other buildings or businesses in the center have signage on the awnings. Plannin{f Commission Meeting . At the March 23rd Planning Commission meeting no one spoke at the public hearing. The applicant explained they need the extra signage because it is part of their standard package. The Planning Commission recommended approval of Leann Chin's request. Most felt the awning signs would not be a problem and the building was unique in that it is a freestanding site with multiple tenants and a PUD allows flexibility to address unique situations. There was some discussion about setting a precedent by allowing additional slgnage. Recommendation The Planning Commission recommends the City Council approve Leann Chin's request to amend the Elk Park Center PUD agreement to allow non back lit awning signs on the north and west sides of their building. . s: \PLANNING\SCOTT\LEEANNCC.DOC
