Background <br /> The Planned Unit Development Agreement for Elk Park Center was signed <br /> on May 4, 1994. Part of this agreement was Exhibit G--Sign requirements. <br /> This document provided for a development sign on Highway 169 and 192nd <br /> Avenue which would identify both Target and Cub Foods. A second <br /> development sign was to be located at Freeport Avenue and Jackson Avenue-- <br /> this sign was also to identify both Target and Cub Foods. A third sign was <br /> to be located at Jackson Avenue and the service road. This sign was "to <br /> identify the anchor tenant (Target) located on the southerly end of the <br /> project." The PUD agreement currently does not allow a monument sign for <br /> Cub Foods at Jackson Avenue and the service road. <br /> Cub Foods is requesting a conditional use permit to amend the Elk Park <br /> Center PUD to allow them to place a sign next to the existing Target sign on <br /> Jackson Avenue and the service road. The PUD agreement allows the Target <br /> sign to be a maximum of six (6) feet high and four (4) feet wide. Cub Foods is <br /> proposing to extend the existing brick base to place a Cub Foods sign of the <br /> same dimensions next to the existing Target sign. <br /> Analysis <br /> • When the conditional use permit for Elk Park Center was granted, there <br /> were a number of concerns to be addressed. One of those issues was signage. <br /> It was decided that Cub Foods and Target would be the two tenants allowed <br /> on the two freestanding development signs. Therefore, both Cub Foods and <br /> Target would have two freestanding signs in addition to their wall signs. <br /> Target was allowed to have an additional monument sign on Jackson Avenue <br /> and the service road. <br /> If Cub Foods was located in a C-3 zoning district, they would be allowed a <br /> maximum of two freestanding signs with a maximum of 64 sq. ft. each. <br /> Currently, Cub Foods has a 80 sq. ft. sign on the Hwy. 169 development sign <br /> and a 64 sq. ft. sign on the Jackson Avenue development sign. Cub Foods <br /> already has more signage than would be allowed in a similar location zoned <br /> C-3. However, since Elk Park Center is a Planned Unit Development, the <br /> sign requirements can be tailored to fit the development. <br /> Conditional Use Permit <br /> The Planning Commission shall recommend approval of a conditional use <br /> permit only if it meets the seven standards outlined in Section 900.42 (4) of <br /> the Elk River Ordinance. <br /> S:\PLANNING\KENDRA\CU9G-09.DOC <br />
