LAND USE APPLICATION
SPECIAL USE PERMIT#12-01
REQUEST
The petitioner, Mike Lawrance, of Signcrafters, who is
representing St. Philip's Lutheran Church, is requesting a I t �
special use permit to allow an electronic message center
sign to be part of a new free-standing sign on the church
property, which is located at 6180 Hwy 65.
The church would like to construct a new 80 sq. ft. freer
standing sign, of which 40 sq.ft. of the sign will be the ! t
electronic message center. It should be noted that though _
the overall size of the new sign is 80 sq.ft.,the total
square footage of the text is 55 sq.ft. St. Ph i I `
HISTORY AND ANALYSIS Welcomes You
The subject property is located on the southwest corner of
Hwy 65 and West Moore Lake Drive. The property is
zoned R-3, Multi-Family. The properties to the west are
zoned R-1,Single-Family. The properties to the north and
east are zoned C-3, General Shopping. The original church
building was constructed in 1958 and there have been
several additions to the building since then.
This property has had two free-standing sign permits in
the past, one was issued in 1978 and the other was issued Od
- in 1994.The permit issued in 1978 was for the existing
a •�� corner monument sign,which bears the name of the
church.The other 1994 sign permit was for a temporary
sign permit, which was for a two year time period. After
F y' --
;� the expiration of that temporary permit, staff noticed
that the sign had not been removed and informed the
church of the violation.The church ended up requesting
and obtaining a one-year extension from the City Council
on the temporary sign permit.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
�fThe Planning Commission and City Council may recall,
that in 2006 a sign code text amendment was approved
to allow institutions (churches, schools, hospitals, medical
clinics)that are located on residentially zoned property to
have similar standards for signage as commercially zoned
property, provided certain code requirements can be met. The new language for free-standing signs
states the institutions are allowed to have one free-standing sign per development, with a maximum
size of 80 sq. ft. provided that the sign is placed a minimum of 50 ft. from any neighboring residentially
zoned property (not including a residential site an institution is located on), the illuminated sign face is
perpendicular to an adjacent roadway and the sign does not create glare that will impact adjacent
residential properties.
The proposed sign will be located
approximately 450 ft. from the closest
residential property, which is located at
6209 Baker Avenue. It will be
approximately 620 ft. from the property
located at 916 West Moore Lake Drive.
The illuminated sign faces will be facing
north and south, which is parallel to Hwy
65 and perpendicular to West Moore Lake
Drive, therefore reducing the likelihood of
creating glare to adjacent residential U
properties.
The proposed sign also complies with the
maximum size requirements of 80 sq. ft., \
height requirement of 25 ft. , and is s
proposed to be approximately 10 ft. from
the east property line and 50 ft. from the
north property line, therefore complying
with the 10 ft.setback for a property line requirements.
The petitioner is requesting a special use permit to allow the electronic message center as part of the
new free-standing sign. Electronic changeable signs are an approved special use in any zoning district,
except residential, unless meeting the requirements for Institutional Signs; provided the electronic
message center sign doesn't change more often than once every 45 seconds. The sign also needs to be
in conformance with all other sign requirements, which as stated above, it does.
City staff hasn't heard from any neighboring property owners.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends approval of the special use permit as electronic changeable signs are an approved
special use in a residential district,provided all requirements for Institutional Signage can be met,
subject to stipulations.
STIPULATIONS
City Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted,the following stipulations be attached.
1. The petitioner shall obtain sign permit and current sign erector license prior to installing any
signage on site.
2. Message on electronic message center sign shall not change more often than authorized under
Section 214.07 of the Fridley City Code.
3. Message on electronic message center sign shall never flash or have motion that may distract
vehicular traffic in the area.
4. Prior to sign installation, the petitioner shall have the northeast property stake marked to verify
sign location meets setback requirements.
5. The signage on the existing retaining wall shall be removed within 30 days of completion of the
new free-standing sign.
