body
Submitted By: Daniel Robinson, Planner III
Strategic Plan Link: The City’s Mission to plan for smart and balanced growth.
Executive Summary (General Business): The proposed program provides the opportunity for the residential and commercial properties within the Toscana PUD to share one (1) of the two (2) main monument signs that will be located at each of the two entrances to the project.
Presentation Information: Staff may provide a presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council adopt the proposed Ordinance as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board at their June 7, 2022 meeting.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and adopt the proposed Ordinance.
2. Move that the Council not adopt the Ordinance and provide staff direction.
Background: Toscana is a 16.89 acre multifamily and commercial development located along the west side of US Highway #1. Commercial development is proposed to front along US Highway #1 (2.3 acres). Multifamily development is proposed to be located behind the commercial development (13.62 acres). Proposed multifamily development consists of 252 units within seven (7) apartment buildings that are three (3) floors in height. Proposed commercial development consists of two (2) parcels along US Highway # 1. Outparcel #1 is .76 acres and Outparcel #2 is 1.54 acres. The primary monument is for identification of both the residential parcel and the two (2) commercial parcels. The secondary monument is for identification of the residential parcel only.
Issues/Analysis: The City code would permit one (1) sign for each parcel, allowing a total of three (3) monument signs along US Highway #1. One (1) for the residential and one (1) for each of the commercial parcels. Each sign would be permitted a total of 32 square feet for each sign granting a total of 96 square feet of signage on the monument signs. The applicant has proposed to have only two (2) monument signs along US highway #1. The two signs are proposed to have a maximum total square footage of 82.5 square feet. This will be 13.5 square feet less than what City Code would permit on three (3) signs.
