On June 13 , 1988, the City Council tabled action on the sign
variance request for SuperAmerica until it could be determined
Iwhether the application should be processed as a conditinal use
permit or a variance. Staff conferred with the City Attorney and
agreed that the application could be processed as a conditional
use permit. The conditional use permit will permit an 80 square
I foot pylon sign with City Council approval and any conditions
deemed necessary.
I The conditional use permit will be reviewed by the Planning
Commission on July 20, 1988, and the City Council on August 8,
1988 . During the June 13th City Council discussion, it appeared
I the Council was in favor of permitting SuperAmerica an 80 square
foot pylon sign. Rather than make the applicant wait to install
the sign after August 8 , 1988 , staff is recommending the City
Council permit the applicant to install the 80 square foot pylon
I sign immediately with the understanding that any conditions of
the conditional use permit will have to be followed.
IRECOMMENDATION
The City Council approves permitting SuperAmerica to install an
80 square foot pylon sign with a maximum 20 foot height prior to
Ireceiving a conditional use permit with the following condition:
1 . The applicant must conform to any conditions made as part of
Ithe conditional use permit.
STAFF UPDATE
IStaff researched the size of the existing Standard and Holiday
Station signs. The Standard sign is 69 square feet and the
Holiday sign is 80 square feet. Staff spoke with sign companies
I and found that 80 square feet is a typical and adequate size for
a pylon sign. The sign company also stated that many signs were
64 square feet. Since the sign ordinance allows for 80 square
I foot pylon signs as a conditional use permit, staff feels the
ordinance is appropriate and should not be amended.
