APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP-94 MISTER DONUT Report #81-2 January 7, 1981 PURPOSE , ,'~ ...1:~?j 10 (0 e To consider a request for a special use permit for a sign plan for shopping center. BACKGROUND APPLICANT: LOCATION: COUNCIL ACTION:, Mister Donut 2400 County Road "E" Shopp i ngcenter. located o.n the northeast corner of Silver Lake Road and County Road "E" B~3, General Business Th e City Co u n eil a tit s 0 c to b e r 23, ]973 meeting approved a 39~ square foot ground sign for the 7-11 store. This approval was prior to the City's, existing sign ordinance. APPLICANT'S REQUEST . e The applicant has installed a free-standing ground sign 19 feet in height and 60 square feet in area without a permit to do so. The applicant is now applying for a permit for that sign. STAFF COMMENT 1. 2. . 3. 4. According to, Section 14-180 b.2. of the Zoning Code ishopping centers should be indentified by a single ground sign for th~ purpose of center identification. It should display no more than five (5) items and identify the center, not advertise individu~l businessestherein." The proposed sig~ (see attachment) reads "Mister Donut", which is an advertisement for one business and not identification for the shoppi~g center. The property owner'of the center has agreed to the "Mister Donut" Company applying for the ground sign. (See attached letter). The areas of special control such as shopping centers allow the City to negotiate sign plans with the property owners. the request does not specifically meet the regulations in the sign code. There might however be rationale for supporting this request, such as: That this shopping center has never had identification for the ~ame of the center, the 7-11 store has been identified on the ground sign~ Staff is unsure that the shoppihg center h~s a name that would identify the center; That the tenants of the center and property owner support the request that Mister Donut be identified on the ground sign; and ' That past sign plans approved by the City Council for buildings with multiple occupancy of small size be allowed p 1 ate s 1 i s tin gin d i v i d u a 1 ten ant s . I~ t his cas e ,t h e s i g n plan would have a ground sign identifying. only one tenant.
