Si n
Canopy
h
Permitted b Ordinance
12 inch tall letters -
Total 80 s uare feet
125 s uare feet - 75 feet hi h
Pion
Other signage proposed on the site meets the ordinance regulations. The applicant has
indicated that the total square footage of signage proposed is 305.56 square feet and
the ordinance would allow up to 437 square feet if all signage allowed were maximized.
VARIANCE CRITERIA
The ordinance provides that "where there are practical difficulties or unnecessary
hardships in the way of carrying out the strict letter of the provisions of this ordinance,
the City Council has the power to vary..." based on the following conditions:
. .
, ,
a) That the conditions involved are unique to the particular parcel of land or
use involved.
b) That the purpose of the variation is not based exclusively upon a desire to
increase the value or income potential of the business involved.
c) That the alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this Ordinance and has
not been created by any persons presently having an interest in the
parcel.
d) That the proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and
air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion of the
public streets, or interfere with the function of the police and fire
departments of the City.
RECOMMENDATION
If the Commission/Council finds that the above conditions are met, then a condition to
approve would be in order. Staff recommends any approval include the following
condition:
1. No other signs will be permitted on the property unless approved by
amending the sign plan.
