The purpose of this request is a desire on the part of the applicant to be allowed additional height and 25 square #eet additional area on the signage for the property. The existing zoning restricts signs to 100 square feet and the height to 10' with a 10' setback from the property line. The requested C-3 would allow 125 square feet and a height of roughly half the distance from`the sign edge to the street curb. This property. as well as the existing C-3 to the south were zoned A-P in 1982 when the lots were still vacant. In 1985, the lot to the west was rezoned to C-N to allow for automobile servicing uses. A service station. and auto repair shop were built on that site as a result of that rezoning, In 1987, a rezoning for the same lot to .the west was approved to allow for higher and larger signage for the businesses. This applicant wishes to be allowed the same visibility as his neighbors to the west. The difference between A-P and-C-3 is that some retail usage is allowed and C-3 is considered more intense than the A-P. Hovvever, both districts are considered."light commercial" and the difference is minimal from a traffic viewpoint. A-P uses tend to have more restrictive characteristics in-that their need for advertising is not as great as other commercial district uses. However, thehistory of the zoning and eventual lessening of sign restrictions of the. property to the`vvesf would justify this zoning change. Staff recommends approval Financial Summary: N/A Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval by a unanimous vote. City Attorney Recommendation: No concerns expressed. Council Action: Desired: Approval or denial of request. Supporting Materials: 1, Area map 2. Staff report. 3. Application 4. P&Z minutes 5.
