PLANNING REPORT <br />DATE: July 10, 2014 <br />CASE: SP2014 -004 <br />SUBJECT: Special Use Permit to Allow and Amendment to the Existing <br />Comprehensive Sign Plan for Main Street Village, Allowing an Additional <br />Ground & Wall signs <br />APPLICANT: CU Companies <br />REQUEST & BACKGROUND <br />The applicant is requesting an amendment to the previously approved, and several times <br />amended, Comprehensive Sign Plan governing allowed signage at Main Street Village. <br />Specifically, the proposed amendment would allow: <br />• Construction of a new ground sign near the center plaza area of the CU Companies <br />property (fronting on Main Street), <br />• Re- facing the existing ground sign (approved in 2009) to match the new ground sign, and <br />• Expansion of allowed wall signage (specifically logos) on 500 & 550 Main Street. <br />The new monument sign (ground sign) is the same size as the existing monument sign (to be re- <br />faced), which is approximately seven feet tall and nine feet wide, or 63 SF. The applicant has <br />proposed three different wall sign variations, one without a logo and two with logo options. The <br />non -logo sign measures two feet tall and 14' wide, for 28 SF. The logo sign options increase the <br />square footage 4.5 SF — 9 SF, or 32.5 SF — 37 SF in total graphic area. The intent with the wall <br />signs is to provide for additional major tenant signage within the buildings at 500 & 550 Main <br />Street. The sign locations are in the upper corners of the buildings at each end and mounted in <br />the central entrance area connecting the two buildings. <br />The Comprehensive Sign Plan for Main Street Village has been amended many times. <br />Amendments were anticipated at the time the original sign plan was drafted, as it wasn't fully <br />known what sign needs would arise as the property developed and became occupied. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />A — Resolution <br />B — Project Location Map <br />C — Zoning Map <br />D — Aerial Photograph <br />E — Neighborhood Notification Map <br />F — CU Company Narrative <br />G — Special Use Permit Criteria Worksheet <br />H — Ground Sign Illustration <br />I — Ground Sign Size Details <br />J — Wall Sign Size Details (non -logo sign) <br />K — Wall Sign Size Details (logo sign options) <br />L — Existing & Proposed Site Plan <br />FINDINGS <br />Section 9 -041.
