i. i Senior Planner Martin replied that cities typically include that information, but it would not p yp �' necessarily need to be included. r: 1' Councilmember woestehoff stated that perhaps the total sign area is the top line of that table as 1 Counc� p p that would provide the necessary guidance. l. Commissioner Peters stated that perhaps those could be combined into one row,including the total Comm p p sign area and explaining there is no maximum number of signs. g p g Chairperson Gen ter asked if there are examples in the area of a 100 square foot sign on a wall. Senior Planner Martin was unsure. F` Planning ManagerLarson could not think of but rovided some dimens ions that could be 100 any p square feet. He stated that it does fall in line with what other cities allow. Councilmember woestehoff asked if the same standards would apply to a single tenant. Senior Planner Martin replied that would not apply. He explained that there is language to ensure that one tenant does not take up all the space and that signage is split between the tenants in a multitenant space. Councilmember woestehoff asked if there is a scenario where space on the signage could be used to advertise something else, such as the development itself. Senior Planner Martin commented that he could not recall any instance of non-tenant signage with the exception of the Ramsey office plaza,which is identified on the sign. Commissioner Bauer asked if space for lease within the building would count as non-tenant signage. Planning Manager Larson explained that real estate signage is temporary and covered in another area of the code. He stated that this line is meant to address individual tenants not an individual sign. He stated that staff could clarify that language. Senior Planner Martin stated that he will make the changes as discussed and bring the final draft back for consideration at a later time. 7.02: Discuss the Sign Code Pertaining to Freestanding, Temporary and Additional wall Signage Presentation Senior Planner Martin presented the Staff Report asking the Commission to provide direction to staff to develop clear, consistent and simplified regulations for freestanding, temporary and additional wall signage in all zoning districts.
