<br />CASE # f <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING <br />REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO EXCEED SIGN SIZE <br />RESTRICTIONS AND FOR MULTIPLE GROUND SIGNS ON A SINGLE PARCEL; <br />CASE OF SOPHIA-RAMSEY, LLC. <br />By: Chris Anderson, Zoning & Recycling Coordinator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The City received an application from Sophia-Ramsey, LLC requesting a conditional use permit <br />to exceed the allowable square footage for a ground sign and for multiple ground signs on a <br />single parcel at the property located at 7900 Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) Site location map <br />b) Schematics of both proposed signs <br />c) Proposed locations of both signs <br />d) Proposed fIndings of fact <br />e) Proposed conditional use permit <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />State statute requires notifIcation of the public hearing to property owners within 350 feet of the <br />subject property.
