Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br />Mayor and City Council 7.5 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />Public Hearings February 22, 2022 Chris Leeseberg, Senior Planner <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Conditional Use Permit: Amend Wall Sign Zack Carlton, Planning Manager <br />Requirements for Hillside Crossing II Planned <br />Reviewed by <br />Unit Development at 19463 Evans Street, <br />Cal Portner, City Administrator <br />DeMars Signs/Salvation Army <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Approve, by motion, the Conditional Use Permit amending the <br />Hillside Crossing II Planned Unit Development design standards for <br />CIC NO. 73 Northbound Crossing Condominium, Unit 1 to allow wall <br />signage consistent with the Highway Commercial zoning district. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />The property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) where <br />deviations from the approved PUD agreement require a Conditional <br />Use Permit (CUP). The applicant is seeking an amendment to the <br />current Hillside Crossing 2nd PUD agreement to allow additional wall <br />signage that is consistent with the Highway Commercial (C3) zoning <br />district. <br /> <br />Currently the PUD agreement allows: Capital letters shall be no larger than <br />32" high, lower-case letters shall be no larger than 24" high. Signs shall be located <br />on west and south sides of the freestanding buildings in a symmetrical manner, but <br />in no case shall extend closer than 3' - 4' from the projected lease line. <br /> <br />The C3 district allows: Total wall sign area not to exceed 15 percent of façade <br />area. Wall signs are permitted on any façade that is not directly adjacent to a <br />residential zone. Businesses in multi-tenant facilities shall be allowed their <br />proportionate share of permitted wall sign area. For the purposes of this section a <br />road shall constitute a separation of zones. <br /> <br />The city has amended several PUD agreements in recent years to allow commercial PUD’s the same signage as <br />other highway commercial districts. The C-3 zoning district is generally located along Highways 169 and 10. The <br />Hillside Crossing PUD is similarly located, and the change would be consistent with the 169 corridor. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br /> <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity. <br /> Updated: August 2020 <br />
