PROPOSED MOTION
"The Chanhassen City Council approves the attached Sign Plan Criteria for Medical Arts Buildings
Phase I and II; and adopts the attached Findings of Fact."
(Note: A motion for denial and associated Findings of Fact and Decision is also attached to this
report.)
City Council approval requires a simple majority vote.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Chanhassen Medical Arts buildings (470 and 480 West 78th Street) are requesting an
amendment to their sign plan in order to remove provisions respectively limiting the size of
letters and logos to a maximum of 12 inches and 24 inches, and to increase the height of the sign
band from 26 inches to 36 inches.
Proposed Sign
The letter and logo restrictions outlined in the Medical Arts
Buildings' sign plans are significantly more restrictive than
those imposed on other developments in the city.
Throughout the project's history,the sign plan has been
repeatedly amended and exceptions have been made to
permit signage with larger letters. The largest sign ` % ositThircurrently present within the development is 36 inches tall
with 21-inch high letters. The proposed amendment would
ensure equity between tenants within the development by
limiting the height of all signage to the tallest existing sign. Y`
The overall size of signs would still be limited by the city's
general provisions limiting the square footage of signage to
a percentage of the building's façade area. Given that a 36-inch tall sign is already present, staff
does not believe this change will negatively impact the aesthetics of the building.

Staff is recommending approval of the amended sign plan.
PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 5,2017 to review the proposed sign
plan amendment.No members of the public spoke for or against the proposal.
Commissioner Weick requested clarification of the proposed height of the bands and questioned the
reason behind the restrictions on the monument sign. Community Development Director Aanenson
clarified that both bands would have a height of three feet and that the monument provision was pre-
existing and the result of the development's orientation towards office uses.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously 5-0 to recommend approval of the variance request.
The Planning Commission minutes of September 5,2017 are included in the consent agenda of the
September 25,2017 City Council agenda.

PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
I
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the sign criteria for the Medical Arts Buildings
Phases I and II. The current sign plan specifies that signs are only allowed within a continuous
two-foot two-inch high band near the roofline for both buildings. Signs within the band are I
limited to letters up to 12 inches in height and logos up to 24 inches in height. The applicant is
requesting that the sign plan be modified to specify a three-foot high sign band for the Phase I
building and to remove the letter and logo size restrictions for both the buildings.
They believe that approving this amendment would make the buildings' sign plan consistent with
the City's Sign Code, which does not specify maximum letter or logo sizes, and with the city's
general practice of regulating sign placement through sign bands and sign size to a certain
percentage of the building's facade. The applicant has also noted that several signs currently
located in the development exceed the size requirements specified by the building's sign criteria.
The proposed changes would encompass the existing signs and create uniform standards for both
existing and incoming businesses.

BACKGROUND
General:
On May 22, 1989,the City Council approved the preliminary plat and site plan application for the
Medical Arts Buildings. The site plan review was approved with two buildings to be built in two
phases. Phase I building was completed in 1990 and Phase II was constructed in 1996.

Part of the site plan approval included a sign plan. Due to the size of the building,the small street
setback, and the potential number of offices within the building,the city wanted to insure a detailed
sign plan was in place. The original sign plan limited the number of signs within a designated strip
as well as the color,lighting, sign band size,maximum letter size, and maximum logo size.The
original restrictions were created based on an understanding that building was to contain medical
offices with low advertising needs.
Phase I
On May 22, 1989,the City Council approved a sign plan. It is not clear exactly what was approved.
On May 30, 1990 The City Council amended,the sign plan to clarify that a maximum of 10 signs,
five on each facade would be permitted;the one sign per-tenant restriction was removed. This was
done to reconcile the difference in the site plans dated April 14, 1989 and April 18, 1989. The April
18, 1989 plan appears to show a two-foot high sign band.
On July 11, 1991,the City Council amended the sign plan to clarify that the south middle area of the
building, defined as the area between the two projecting porticoes, allowed signs of up to three feet
in height,with letters not to exceed 12 inches in height. Up to three signs were permitted in this
area. The rest of the building was limited to nine signs,five north and four south,not to exceed two
feet 2 inches in height and 24 feet in width with letters not to exceed 12 inches in height.
Phase II
On October 12, 1992,the City Council approved a sign plan for the Phase II building. This sign plan
limited signs to a two-foot two-inch high sign band and limited letters to 12 inches in height and
logos to 24 inches in height. The sign plan also limited the development to a total of 14 signs.
On April 1, 1996, staff received a letter from Vernelle Clayton requesting that an exception be made
to the 24 inch sign and logo space restriction in order to accommodate a tenant moving an existing
Phase I sign to the Phase II building. At the time,the Phase I sign plan allowed for three-foot signs
in the middle section. On June 26, 1996, a permit was issued allowing the sign to be relocated with
its existing dimensions.
Phase I and II
On December 8,2014,the existing sign plans were amended to remove the provisions limiting the
number of signs allowed on each building. The rational for removing this provision was that the city
typically restricts the proliferation of signs using sign bands and square footage limits,rather than
per-building limits on the number of signs. At this time the Phase II sign criteria where adopted for
both buildings, effectively removing the three-foot exception for the middle sign area in the Phase I
building and confining all signage to the two-foot two-inch sign band.

ANALYSIS
The city's general sign ordinance attempts to balance the advertising needs of businesses with the
potential visual nuisance that can be created by unrestricted signage. The city does this by limiting
the maximum square footage of signage to a sliding percentage of a building's façade, and by
requiring buildings to submit a site-specific sign plan as part of their site plan review. Multi-tenant
commercial buildings are required to designate a sign band or bands, either conceptually or with
specific dimensions,and,in some cases,restrictions are placed on the maximum height of letters
and logos.
In the case of the Medical Arts Buildings,the sign plan Maximum Letter size %of total
designated a two-foot two-inch area near the roofline as --
the sign band and illustratively depicted the band. In 48" 1 3.45%
addition to restricting signage to the sign band,the sign 36" 1 3.45%
plan limits letters to 12 inches in height and logos to 24 30" 10 34.48% 1
inches in height. Of the 29 sign plans that staff examined, 24" 2 6.90%
no other signplan limits signs to a 12 inch maximum
s� 12" 1 3.45%
letter size. About half of sign plans do not limit letter None 14 48.28%
size. Two-thirds of the sign plans specifying a maximum Total 29 100.00%
letters size list the maximum letter size as 30 inches.
Restricting the letters on the Medical Arts Building to a maximum height of 12 inches is stricter
than the limits placed on similar developments in the city.
The letter and band requirements have been difficult for 1
_ _ -R: numerous tenants to meet. Of 14 sign permits, current and
historic,that staff was able to find,eight did not comply with
,IT
F either the letter or band size restrictions. The largest sign
approved was three feet in height with 21 inch letters and is
still present on the building. Other signs were approved with
4 0 total heights of three feet,30 inches, and two-foot nine-
t�, ' I o inches,despite the sign band's two-foot two-inch height limit.
.,- z # , a, Regarding letter size, several signs with letters between 15
- ' '-' ,i''.-41,-< =� "' inches and 21 inches have been approved. In some cases,
variances or amendments to the sign plan were made to
accommodate these signs.
The acupuncture sign which the applicant wishes to relocate to the Phase I building has 28 inch high
letters. Historically,portions of the Phase I allowed three-foot high signs,though with 12 inches
high letters, and, as noted above, exceptions to the sign plan have been made to accommodate larger
signs in other locations.

Three goals of the City's Sign Code are relevant to the proposal to amend the Medical Arts
Buildings' Sign Plan:
Goal 1:Establish standards which permit businesses a reasonable and equitable opportunity to
advertise their name and service.
The Medical Arts Buildings are held to a letter size standard significantly smaller than any other
development within the city. The difficulty that various tenants have faced meeting this standard has
led to the city granting exceptions on a case-by-case base. This leads to confusion as some
businesses feel they are held to a different standards than other tenants within the building. The
proposed amendment would create a uniform standard met by all existing signs, and which can be
met by future tenants.
Goal 2:Preserve and promote civic beauty, and prohibit signs which detract from this objective
because of size, shape, height, location, condition, cluttering, or illumination.
Medical Arts Building
Planning Case 2017-17
September 5, 2017
Page 6 of 7
Signs of up to three feet in height,the limit proposed in the amendment, are currently present on the
Phase I building. They appear appropriately scaled and have not generated any complaints from
residents. Signs with 18 inch letters are currently present on the on the Phase II building. They
appear appropriately scaled and have not generated any complaints from residents. While the
size for the Phase II building. Staff does not believe that allowing larger letters and logos would
detract from the civic beauty of the building or downtown.
Goal 3:Ensure signs that are in proportion to the scale of and are architecturally compatible with,
the principle structures.
The Phase I building is primarily a two level structure whereas the Phase II building is primarily a
single level structure. Due to the increased facade area of the Phase I building,the visual impact of a
three foot sign is different than it would be for the shorter Phase II building. For this reason staff
distinction is similar to what existed before the 2011 sign plan amendment applied the Phase II
criteria to both buildings.
The city ensures that signs are of appropriate scale by limiting the percentage of the
building's facade that they can cover. These general provisions are sufficient to ensure that
the buildings do not have excessively large signs. Other buildings of similar height in the city
have three-foot tall signs and an existing sign on the Phase I building is three feet in height
and does not overwhelm the building.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff believes that the proposed sign plan amendment is in line with the relevant goals of the
City's Sign Code, and staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:
"The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that City Council approve the attached
Sign Plan Criteria for Medical Arts Buildings Phase I and II; and adoption of the attached Findings
of Fact and Recommendation."
Should the Planning Commission recommend denial of the proposed sign plan amendment, it is
recommended that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:
"The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that City Council deny the attached Sign
Plan Criteria for Medical Arts Buildings Phase I and II; and adoption of the attached Findings of
Fact and Recommendation."

meeting to consider the application of Medical Arts Buildings Phase I and II for an amended
Sign Plan Review located at 470 and 480 West 78th Street(Lots 1 &2,Block 1,Medical Arts
Addition). The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed sign plan
preceded by published and mailed notice. The Planning Commission heard testimony from all
interested persons wishing to speak and now makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The property is currently zoned CBD, Central Business District.
2. The property is guided in the Land Use Plan Commercial.
3. The legal description of the property is Lots 1 &2,Block 1,Medical Arts Addition.
4. In evaluating a sign plan, the city shall consider the following:
(1) Permanent and temporary signs have a direct impact on, and a relationship to, the image
of the community;
(2) The manner of installation, location and maintenance of signs affects the public health,
safety, welfare and aesthetics of the community;
(3) An opportunity for a viable identification of community business and institutions must be
established;
(4) The safety of motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and other users of public streets and
property is affected by the number, size, location and appearance of signs that unduly
divert the attention of drivers;
(5) Installation of signs suspended from,projecting over, or placed on the tops of buildings,
walks or other structures may constitute a hazard during periods of high winds and an
obstacle to effective firefighting and other emergency service;
(6) Uncontrolled and unlimited signs adversely impact the image and aesthetic attractiveness
of the community and, thereby,undermine economic value and growth;
(7) Uncontrolled and unlimited signs,particularly temporary signs,which are commonly
located within or adjacent to public right-of-way, or are located at driveway/street
intersections,result in roadside clutter and obstruction of views of oncoming traffic. This
1
creates a hazard to drivers and pedestrians and also adversely impacts a logical flow of
information.
Finding: The proposed amendment to the sign plan will be consistent with the sign
ordinance. All signs must receive a sign permit prior to installation. Each building's
respective sign band area will limit the height of signs permitted on the building.

2017 Building Signage Update
The current building criteria for signage is dated for the 470 and 480 building.
We want to update the 470/480 building standard to city standards that does not
arbitrarily restrict letter size to 12 inches.
This will allow signs both currently and proposed for the building to conform to
Chanhassen's current standards. Thus allowing the "MacPhail" sign to conform to
city norms and allow the "Acupuncture" sign (which has been used in Chanhassen
for the last 8years).
We still want to maintain the integrity and visual appeal of Chanhassen as
building owners. But this will allow us the flexibility to support our businesses
and their sign's and logo's and future considerations.
Regards,
Mason McClellan

property is affected by the number, size, location and appearance of signs that unduly
divert the attention of drivers;

walks or other structures may constitute a hazard during periods of high winds and an
obstacle to effective firefighting and other emergency service;
(6) Uncontrolled and unlimited signs adversely impact the image and aesthetic attractiveness
of the community and,thereby,undermine economic value and growth;

information.

ordinance. All signs must receive a sign permit prior to installation. Each building's
respective sign band area will limit the height of signs permitted on the building.
