Cub Foods is proposing to extend the existing brick base to place a Cub Foods sign of the same dimensions next to the existing Target sign. When the conditional use permit for Elk Park Center was granted, there were a number of concerns to be addressed. One of those issues was signage. It was decided that Cub Foods and Target would be the two tenants allowed on the two freestanding development signs. The monument sign at Jackson A venue and the Service Road was only to identify "the anchor tenant (Target)." However, since Elk Park Center is a Planned Unit Development, the sign requirements can be tailored to fit the development. The conditional use permit can be approved if it meets the seven standards outlined in Section 900.42 (4) of the Elk River Ordinance. Staff believes that the applicant meets these seven standards: The expansion of the existing sign will not detrimentally affect adjacent properties. The sign expansion is not inconsistent with the comprehensive plan. The sign is consistent with the intent of the Planned Unit Development and will not impede development on surrounding properties. Will not adversely affect traffic or traffic visibility. Expansion of the existing sign will not create excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, dust or vibrations. The sign expansion will not damage any natural, scenic or historic features. The applicant will apply for a City sign permit and will comply with all applicable sign requirements. Rich Walsco, Cub Foods stated he had spoken with Target and Target does not object to sharing the sign. Chair Dillon opened the public hearing. There being no comments from the public, Chair Dillon closed the public hearing. Commissioner Sullivan stated if we amend the sign permit what prevents other companies from doing the same. Kendra Lindahl, Zoning Assistant stated other companies can also apply to amend the sign package for the Elk Park Center PUD. COMMISSIONER MINTON MOVED THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST BY UNIVERSAL SIGNS/CUB FOODS FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, PUBLIC HEARING CASE NO. CU 96-9, BASED ON THE FINDINGS IN THE STAFF REPORT, AND THE FACT THERE WAS NO OPPOSITION DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1. THE APPLICANT WILL APPLY FOR A SIGN PERMIT BEFORE BEGINNING CONSTRUCTION ON THE SIGN. THE SIGN WILL BE ARCHITECTURALLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING TARGET SIGN. 2.
