<br />Report #80-49 <br />March 31, 1980 <br /> <br />APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT <br />SP-89,JOHN LANGE <br /> <br />PURPOSE <br /> <br />To consider an application for special use permit for signing of <br />the Lange Building. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />APPLICANT: John Lange <br /> <br />LOCATION: 1211 Old Highway #8, generally east of <br />Old Highway #8 and south of the Post <br />Office. <br /> <br />ZONING: 1-1, Light Industrial <br /> <br />ORDINANCE REGULATIONS: Section 14-200 c(3) states that <br />buildings having multiple occupancies <br />with both individual and shared entrances <br />shall be regulated as in Section 14-180, <br />Areas of Special Control. Section 14~180 <br />essentially states that signing should be <br />developed as part of an overall sign plan <br />approved by a special use permit. <br /> <br />The basic g'uidelines expressed in the sign ordinance are that build- <br />ings having multiple occupancies should be identified with a single <br />ground sign containing the building name only and the individual <br />tenants are permitted individual wall signs with name only. <br /> <br />The sign plan proposed by the applicant includes one ground sign <br />and no wall signs for the individual tenants. The proposed ground <br />sign would have six (6) interchangeable plates for tenant names only. <br />The sign would be setback the, required 13 feet~ 4 inches. The <br />allowed height if 20 feet and the allowed area is 64 square feet. <br />The sign will be 10 feet in height and 56 square feet in area. <br />Therefore, the proposed ground sign meets all code requirements in <br />regard to height, area and setback. <br /> <br />The applicant has indicated that wall signs for each individual <br />tenant would detract from the character of the building and result <br />in a cluttered appearance. In the place of wall signs, the <br />applicant is requesting signing on the entrance doors which include <br />name of tenant only and less than 3 inch lettering. <br /> <br />In general, the proposal appears to be of good desig~. The single <br />ground sign would permit sound identification and would preserve <br />the appearance of the building. In order to avoid a cluttered <br />appearance, signs on the exterior doors listing tenants name(s) <br />only may be appropriate if the lettering is kept to three (3) <br />inches or less in height.
