<br />CASE # .3 <br />REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO EXCEED SIGN SIZE <br />RESTRICTIONS; CASE OF METROPOLITAN VISIONS/AMPRIDE <br />By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia FroIik <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />On June 11, 1997, the City received an application from Ampride for a conditional use permit to <br />exceed the sign size restrictions on their ground sign at 6360 Hwy. #10 N.W. The following <br />items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) Site location map <br />b) Sign plan <br />c) Proposed findings of fact <br />d) Proposed conditional use permit <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />All property owners within 350 feet of the subject property were notified of the public hearing. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The City Code restricts the sign surface area on ground signs to 100 square feet in the <br />commercial district. The existing sign size at Ampride is 104 square feet. Ampride is a <br />convenience store facility and the applicant indicates that the 100 square feet of sign space is not <br />adequate for advertising weekly specials in the store. They are asking for the minimum amount <br />of sign space necessary to alleviate their hardship -- a 21 square foot reader board to be added to <br />their pylon sign. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />City Staff recommends approval of the request. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Motion to: <br />Recommend that City Council adopt findings of fact relating to the request for a <br />conditional use permit to exceed sign size restrictions. <br /> <br />-and- <br /> <br />Motion to: <br />Recommend that City Council approve/deny the request for a conditional use permit from <br />Metropolitan Visions/ Ampride and adopt a resolution declaring terms of same. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br />City Administrator <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />pc: 7/1197 <br /> <br />43 <br />
