<br />December 16, 1980 <br /> <br />APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT <br />SP-95, MEDICAL PSYCHIATRY ASSOCIATES OF SAINT PAUL <br /> <br />PURPOSE <br /> <br />To consider a request for a special use permit for a sign plan for <br />a building with multiple tenants. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />APPLICANT: <br /> <br />Medical Psychiatry Associates of <br />Saint Paul <br />James Janecek, M.D. <br /> <br />LOCATION: - <br /> <br />721 - 5th Avenue NW, "Plumbery <br />Building" <br /> <br />ZONING: <br /> <br />B-3, General Business <br /> <br />ORDINANCE REGULATIONS: <br /> <br />A. Wall Sign in B-3 District - <br />40% of Signable Area <br />B. Building with multiple tenant <br />with a shared entrance are <br />allowed one wall sign with build- <br />ing name only. The Council <br />through special permit is allowed <br />to establish a sign plan. <br /> <br />APPLICANT'S REQUEST <br /> <br />The applicant is requesting the installation of a wall sign 4' x 10' <br />listing the two tenants by business name. In addition, the sign <br />contains 4 slots for the doctor's names with three inch lettering. <br />The three inch lettering according to the zoning code is not <br />calculated as items of information. <br /> <br />STAFF COMt~ENTS <br /> <br />The proposed sign meets the zoning code requirements in regard to <br />location and size. The special use permit is required because of <br />the request for the names of both firms to be placed on the sign. <br />This sign plan appears to be consistent with previous sign plans <br />approved by the council which are directory in nature. The sign <br />meets the intention of the sign ordinance in that it does not <br />create clutter nor detracts from the architecture of the building. <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMt~ENDATION <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the Board recommend approval of SP-95 by <br />waiving the reading and adopting a resolution making findings of <br />fact and recommending approval of SP-95. <br /> <br />,,", <br /> <br />" , <br />"- J;"'-~---.--- ~'-"'~---'---{ '.,;---.J-... <br /> <br />Joa-n--M~rcher, City Planner <br /> <br />-~- ~ <br />
