FROM: Jock Robertson, Community Development Director
Barbara Dacy, Planning Coordinator
Michele McPherson, Planning Assistant
SUBJECT:
Fridley Sign Ordinance Amendments
Since the adoption of the Temporary Sign Ordinance in May of 1988,
staff encountered some discrepancies between various sections of
the Sign Code. The proposed ordinance changes were initiated for
two reasons:
l. To reduce the number of inconsistencies between various
sections of the Code; and
2. To make administering the Code easier.
Attached is the Fridley Sign Code with the proposed amendments as
recommended by staff and modified by the Planning Commission at the
October 11, 1989 meeting. It should be noted that the changes
proposed by the Planning Commission to the political sign section
of the Code have been deleted. The following sections have been
amended or clarified to ease administration of the Code:
Section 214.02 - Definitions
Banners and pennants have been redefined in order to clarify and
specify those signs which will be considered a banner and those
signs which will be considered a pennant in issuing temporary sign
permits. (Pages 2 and 3 of the attached ordinance).
A definition for community organizations was included in order to
define those organizations which would be considered for temporary
sign permits under Section 214.07, Community Organization Event
Signs (Page 6 of the attached ordinance).
Section 214.09 - 214.13 - Specific District Requirements
Staff is proposing to delete the option of roof signs in commercial
and industrial districts. Staff estimates that this will only

affect perhaps two or three businesses currently within the City,
and those would become legal, nonconforming.
Section 214.07 - Community Organization Event Signs
Section 214.07 is a combination of an ordinance from Brooklyn Park
and amendments by the Planning Commission (page 10 and E�ibit A).
The intent of this section is to specifically allow community
organizations to use temporary signs more often than commercial or
industrial businesses. Currently, community organizations are
regulated by the Temporary Sign Ordinance. The number of temporary
signs allowed per year is based on a ratio of tenants per building.
In the case of the churches which are freestanding buildings in the
City, this would limit the use of temporary signage to two permits
per year each for 14 days.
Section 214.07 of the Sign Ordinance as proposed would allow an
unlimited amount of permits per organization within a year. Each
organization would be allowed 12 signs which could be wood,
banners, or any other type of material which would create a
temporary sign, with the exception of the portable lighted signs.
These signs could be placed at a number of sites away from where
the event is being held.
The use of portable lighted signs on the premises is limited to the
day(s) of the event; however, the new section of the ordinance
allows and encourages the use of existing readerboard signs
throughout the City, and does not limit the use of these
readerboards, for example, the one at Burger King or Hardees. The
deposit and permit fees are the same as for other temporary signs
within commercial and industrial districts. However, the
organization, if using more than one site to place signs on, would
be required to submit a list of locations where signs will be
posted so that staff can check to ensure that the signs have been
promptly removed (pages 10 and 11 of the attached ordinance).
Section 214.16 - Signs within the Central Avenue public right-of-
ways
This section has been proposed as a result of the Central Avenue
Corridor discussion. Section 214.04 of the Sign Code currently
prohibits signs in the public right-of-way. The proposed amendment
would allow signs in the Central Avenue right-of-way. The right-
of-way is unusually wide for the amount of pavement and its road
classification. This is in response to several of the businesses
along Central Avenue and will also bring some existing signs into
closer compliance to the Sign Code. This will also allow
businesses along Central Avenue to have their signs as close to the
public road as the other businesses within the City. Staff Sign

developed standards for the signs which will be placed within the
right-of-way (pages 19 and 20 of the attached ordinance)
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission determined that signs for community or non-
profit organizations should have less restrictive regulations than
those for temporary commercial or industrial signs. The Commission
recognized that these organizations have special signage needs
because of the type of events they conduct. Many of the events
sponsored by these organizations are short-lived or occur on an
annual basis only. Further, other communities provide distinct and
separate regulations for these signs. For these reasons, the
Planning Commission determined it appropriate to create regulations
specifically for community organizations.
The Planning Commission also recommended that a chart be created
for the sign requirements and be included in the ordinance (Exhibit
B) .
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council review the proposed
ordinance amendments as recommended by the Planning Commission, and
provide direction to staff to include or delete proposed changes.

vhich are in the �Siqns" chart located in the agenda. The chart
vas limited to deal trith those issues that were discussed at the
September 27th meeting: campaiqn siqns, temporary siqns, porta
panels, banners, streamers, etc.
Mr. Barna referred to Section 214.04.09, Siqns Prohibited in Al1
Districts: �.ny siqns which are attached to trees, fences, utility
poles or other such permanent aupports, not specifically intended
as oiqn structures.
Idr. Barna etated chain link fences often have the aanufacturers'
identification logo on them. Could some wordinq be added that
allows this type of siqnage, also warninq ciqns such as "No
Trespassing", etc., on fences?

agenda which deal with specific lanquage for siqns by non-profit
organizations.
Ms. l�IcPherson stated under "Political Signs",

Mr. Barna stated the person or orqanization can always go before
the City Council to have the fee waived.
Mr. Betzo2d stated he has trouble equating businesses with
political candidates, and he thouqht 5100 would be more reasonable.
Mr. Barna stated the sign ordinance does not prohibit roof siqns.
There is still a roof siqn on what used to be Raphael's which
should have been removed years ago. Roof signs should be
prohibited in the City of Fridley.
Mr. Betzold aqreed With the prohibition of roof siqns.
Ms. McPherson stated she thouqht there should be some clarification
on special event signs. Did the Commission want bills and posters
to reqvire a deposit also? They have added the lanquage that
prohibits such signs on utility poles and non siqn-like structures.
Mr. Betzold stated after what he saw this cummer vhere the use of
posters was abused in the City of Fridley, he never wanted to see
anything like that aqain. People should be discouraged from
putting the bills and posters on utility poles. Garage sale signs
can always be put on posts in the qround with the property owner's
permission. He stated he is less concerned about the qarage sale
notices that are put up and taken down within a few days, than he
is about the bills and posters.
Mr. Barna stated the ordinance should address recyclinq siqns. They
should be alloved in the public riqht-of-way.
Ms. Dacy stated those siqns could be added to the list of 6igns
permitted in all districts.
pL,�►NNING COI4[IBBIOK 1lLETING. OCT. 11. 1l89 _ - B�GE 15
Ms. McPherson ctated at the last seetinq, the Commission discussed
the issue of requiring two permits per year for non-profit
organizations. In qoinq throuqh the ordinances received from other
cities, there were two cities, Champlin and Brooklyn Centez, that
allowed non-profit organizations cpecial consideration for 6ignage,
banners, porta-panels, etc., over business temporary siqns. That
is the lanquaqe in Exhibit J► and Exhibit B. Does the Commission
want to include that type of lanquage in the ordinance or do they
want to change the temporary siqn ordinance to allow more siqns?
What does the Commission want to do to resolve the issues of the
churches and schools and other non-profit organizations in the
issue of two permits per year?
Mr. BetZOld �uggested that rather than say "non-profit"
organizations, they refer to them as "community organizations .
Non-profit does have a very specific meaninq. The non-profit
organization has to have some connection with the City of Fridley
as they do not want non-profit orqanizations from another city
wanting to put up banners in the City of Fridley. Zt should be a
civic community orqanization located within the City of Fridley.
Ms. McPherson stated that under "Special Event Signs", item B
states that "Siqns over the public riqht-of-way must have City
Council approval." However, the two exhibits fram Champlin and
Brooklyn Center call out the fact that there might be siqns
existing that are not on the property where the event is being
held, and they have restrictions on those siqns that are allowed.
That becomes another fssue. Does the Commission Want to allow
6ignage on property other than that owned by the organization?
Mr. Barna 6tated some non-profit organizations such as the Jaycees
do not own their own property.
Ms. Dacy stated she did not think they should be encouraginq off-
premise signs. All signs should be on the owner's property.
Mr. Dahlberg stated it is virtually impossible for the Commission
to anticipate and aome up with language for every conceivable
situation that can occur in the City of Fridley.
Ms. Dacy stated both the Champlin and Brooklyn Park ordinances
would be good if they want the ability for the Jaycees or Lions
Club to put up off-premise siqnage for cpecial events. Those
ordinances list specific Qtandards for siqns on or off the
organization's property.
Mr. Betzold stated Exhibit B spells out the requirements a little
better.
Mr. Saba stated Exhibit B seems easier to understand and allows a
little more leeway for non-profit orqanizations.

Ms. McPherson ctated the lanquage in Exhibit B does not include a
permit, but they could have the organization fill out a permit so
the City knows when the cign is goinq up, when it vill come down,
and who is the responsible party.
Hs. Sherek agreed there should be a permit, but she also thouqht
there should a refundable deposit.
lsr. Dahlberg stated that since it is a temporary siqn, a deposit
would fall under that cateqory.
Mr. Dahlberg suggested the following changes to Exhibit B:
(1) �,dd some language that states that all signs except
readerboards shall not exceed a certain square footage.
(2) Signs shall not be posted in excess of �,e�n�� fourteen
(14) days prior to the event and shall be removed no
later than =`___ ;=; five (5) days followinq the final
date of the event. �
(4) He would suggest staff add a statement similar to one
Item 1 in Exhibit A: "If building mounted, these signs
shall be flat wall 6igns and shall not project above the
roof line. If qround mounted, the top �hall be no more
than six (6) feet above ground level."
Ms. McPherson stated they will add an item (7) and item (8) to
Exhibit B for controls on the permit and the deposit.
Mr. Betzold stated he would like the definition of non-profit
orqanizations changed to community organizations that include non-
profit organizations, churches, civic organizations, etc., located
trithin the City of Fzidley.
Mr. Dahlberg stated wherever non-profit organization occurs in the
ordinance, it should be changed to community orqanization.
Mr. Dahlberg stated he aqain wanted to raise his objection to siqns
over the riqht-of-way, even the lanquage does state that ciqns are
allcwed over the right-of-way with Council approval. He personally
objected to those siqns across roadways.
rlr. Dahlberg stated the ordinance refers to the number of permits
allowed with cpecific instances based on zoninq. It doesn't
specifically address the issue of non-profit orqanizations. Non-
profit orqanizations fall into a separate category. It was his
personal opinion that it would vork better to include in Section
214.16 under Siqn Permit Requirements a chart or table that
illustrates the number of permits allowed and how sany permits pez
year for each of the zoninq districts and/or types of uses, i.e.,
non-profit orqanizations. It is like takinq item 6 out of the
D* ��t�tING COI�Q�II88IOI�1 I[EETII�iG� "^"' " �l89 � 4AGE I7
other sections and consolidating �ach one into the sign permit
requirement section.
Ms. KcPherson stated riqht now the interpretation is that non-
profit orqanizations can only have two permits per year which would
include up to 12 siqns for each permit. Did the Commission want
to change the "two" to a largez number?
1dz�. Dahlbezq stated he would sugqest they look at a larger number.
Mr. Barna aqreed. Since non-profit organizations are dependent on
volunteer Workers, it is hard to say how many epecial events they
will have.
Mr. Betzold stated he did not see any orqanization having that many
activities where it would be a problem.
�
Ms. Dacy stated she vould prefer to have the non-profit
crganizations not even referred to in the original ordinance but
in a completely separate section.
Ms. McPherson stated non-profit organizations could be added as
item (9) in Exhibit B.
Mr. Saba and Ms. Sherek aqreed that the non-profit organizations
should be included in the chart or table in Section 214.16.
OM TION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Ms. Sherek, to recommend to City
Council approval of the amendments as discussed, to incorporate
Exhibit B to cover community organizations, and to request those
requirements be included in a table or chart for easy perusal.

DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
April 13, 1990
�, �r .
William Burns, City Manager�';
Jock Robertson, Community Development Director
Barbara Dacy, Planning Coordinator
Michele McPherson, Planning Assistant
Parking Space Width Amendment
On February 26, 1990, the City Council provided direction as to
what types of uses should have parking spaces that are striped at
either nine (9) feet in width or ten (10) feet in width. The City
Council also indicated that they would like all of the parking
spaces to be double-striped. We have therefore prepared zoning
text amendments to accommodate the City Council's direction.
To summarize, ten foot spaces are still required for the following
uses; restaurants, theaters, lodges, assembly facilities, hotel,
motel, all office, retail uses, and speculative commercial
buildings.
A nine (9) foot space is permitted for apartments, manufacturing
uses, warehouse and storage uses, speculative industrial uses,
long-term employee parking lots and public and private parking
ramps.
An amendment to the S-2 district, the Redevelopment District, has
also been added to provide for a special use permit process for
projects to reduce the parking space size from ten feet to nine
feet in redevelopment projects.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council direct staff to schedule a
public hearing before the Planning Commission for the attached
ordinance amendment.

Increase in Maximum Lot Coverage in Zndustrial
Districts by Ten Percent with a Special Use
Permit
On February 26, 1990, the City Council indicated that they agreed
with an ordinance amendment which would allow an increase in lot
coverage in industrial districts by ten percent with a special use
permit. The City Council asked us to investigate potential
standards that could also be included in the ordinance to guide the
Planning Commission and City Council's decision making.
Attached is the proposed language for the ordinance amendment. For
the performance standards, we used the experience in the Cortron
variance application as a guide. In that case, Cortron added onto
their existing building, but eliminated extra parking areas such
that the total building and lot coverage of the property was
actually reduced. We have also added another performance standard
to make it clear that especially in the case of vacant properties
that all parking, storm water, and landscaping requirements must
be met.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council direct the Planning staff
to schedule a public hearing before the Planning Commission for the
attached ordinance amendment.
