Special Signs <br />July 24, 1986 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Staff can confirm that the sign, at 22 feet high, will <br />create no sighting problems or interference with the use of <br />traffic signals or signs in the busy intersection. <br />The code provides no standards for commercial like signs in <br />residential districts nor does it establish standards for church <br />signs under the conditional use permit section [10.20, <br />Subdivision 3 (A)]. Staff can find no previous variance <br />applications for church signs and yet the majority of ex; sting <br />signs exceed the 8 feet height limit. There are no area limits. <br />All appear to meet setback standard of five feet. <br />Staff seeks Council direction on the following: <br />1. Is a variance to Section 10.61, Subdivision 2 (C) <br />required? <br />2. In light of City's practice to issue building permits <br />for church signs with violations to residential standards, <br />would Council consider 17 feet (standard) height acceptable <br />(see diagram attached) as consistent with past practice. <br />3. Should the code be amended to provide standards for <br />signs for the quasi commercial uses allowed in residential <br />districts? <br />
