SP #07-07 REQUEST Todd Regnier, who is representing Rixmann Fridley LLC, owners of the Livinn Hotels, located at 5201 Central Avenue, is requesting a special use permit to allow an electronic changeable sign (digital video screen) as part of the construction of a new monument sign to be installed at the Livinn Hotels. The petitioner is proposing to construct a new monument sign which is illustrated below. The wording "Livinn Hotels" is proposed to be 15.4 square feet and the electronic message sign is proposed to be 44.3 square feet. Total square footage of the sign is 59.7 square feet. Fed athotne. star-with us? ` - LivaNw H O T E L S - � Re .Mr ici Proposed Sign HISTORY AND ANALYSIS The subject property is located in the southeast corner of Central Avenue and 52"d Avenue. The property is zoned C-3, General Shopping. The subject property was originally developed as a carwash/gas station in 1966. In 1982, the carwash was demolished. A hotel was constructed in 1984 as an additional to the existing Skywood Mall. In 1991, a plat and variance were approved by the City Council for the subject property and the Skywood Mall property. At the time, the hotel was being sold to a new company, and they were only interested in purchasing the hotel portion of the complex. The plat will create a lot line between the hotel and the Skywood ` mall, which is separated by a firewall. The variance was granted to allow for a zero lot line between the 2 buildings. Since 1991, the subject property has continued to exist as a hotel, as a Best ,- Western, Kelly Inn and most recently the Livinn Suites. CODE REQUIREMENTS Electronic changeable signs are an approved special use in any zoning district, except residential, provided the message doesn't �I change more often than once every 45 4 F seconds. The sign also needs to be in 9 - ,.I conformance with the sign requirements for the zoning district, in which the property is located. The subject property is zoned, C-3 General ,= .e�t . NON CeuNO GNh ISM M M .- Shopping, which requires that all free standing '"'° signage per development combined, can not — - — exceed 80 square feet in size. A free-standing monument sign already exists on the property, n which is located just west of existing building. Existing Sin to be� _ 9 a _ The petitioner plans to remove that existing g��,�...,�.�-.... <._. Removed - sign and construct the new monument sign to be located along Central Avenue. The proposed new sign will be 59.7 square feet, of which 44.3 sq. ft. will be the electronic portion of the sign. The hotel also shares a free-standing sign with the Skywood mall property, which is now Menards. However, that is sign is located on the Menards property and since the hotel is a separate lot from the Menards (old Skywood Mall property) lot they are entitled to have their own free standing 80 square foot sign. As the picture on the first page of this report shows, the petitioner is proposing to include a digital video screen as part of the sign. This type of screen is the latest technology in the sign industry and is something that we otherwise haven't seen in Fridley. We are starting to see this type of technology on billboards along the Interstates is the Twin Cities area. Over the years, the City Council has approved several special use permits to allow electronic message centers; however, this type of sign will look more similar to a flat screen television. Staff has spoken with the petitioner and they understand that the message on this sign can only change once every 45 seconds, per City Code requirements and that there can't be any flashing or moving parts, including the illusion of movement on the screen. STAFF RECOMMENDATION City Staff recommends approval of the special use permit as electronic changeable signs are an approved special use in the commercial zoning district, provided the sign complies with Code requirements, subject to stipulations. STIPULATIONS City Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be attached. 1. Petitioner shall obtain sign permit and current sign erector license prior to installing any signage on site. 2. Message on L.E.D. sign shall not change more often than authorized under Section 214.07 of the Fridley City Code. 3. Message on L.E.D. sign shall never flash or have motion that may distract vehicular traffic in the area. 4. The proposed free standing sign shall be 10 feet from any property line or driveway 5. Petitioner shall adhere to city code requirements for temporary signs. 6. All trees to be removed for the installation of the new sign shall be marked and approved by City staff prior to issuance of a sign permit. P � W � F i .Nr j 3 c. r, F a N O - N N 1 _ •E i..
