Observations: In.the commercial district, 'City. Code restaScts wall signs to a 'size of 15% of the building front. Valvoline Express Care's building front is 435 square feet in size and therefore, allowed 65' square feet of wall signage. Valvoline Express Care would like to install an awning on the subject building that would extend across the front of the building and wrap around-to a portion of the east and west sides of the building. The entirety of the awning would consist of business and service advertising with a color logo. The awning is 315 square feet in size; this interprets to a 250 square foot overage in wall signs. The applicant will be removing all existing wall signs from the building. The City has in the past, granted conditional use permits, to allow for larger signs than permitted under City Ordinances (Ampride, Burger King, River Bend Plaza, Ramsey Town Square, M & G Leasing Inc. and Blue Line Collision). -111-
