CU!C
HISTORY AND ANALYSIS
The subject property is located at the southeast
corner of 73d Avenue and Hwy 65. The property is _,s•
zoned M-1, Light Industrial. Motor vehicle fuel and
, w73 112— A`�— oil dispensing services are a permitted special use in the M-
'I',
Light Industrial zoning district. When the service station
was constructed in 1983, several land use requests were
City Council. A lots lit was granted to
the C p
73RD AVE also approved by y
subdivide one large lot and create two small lots, which are
now, 7201 and 7299 Hwy 65, which in turn allowed for the
construction of the Service Road. A special use permit was
also approved to allow the construction of the motor vehicle
R fuel service station and two variances were approved to
Yom^r reduce the lot size requirements and the parking lot setback
requirement from an abutting right-of-way. The original free-
T41 '. standing sign was also constructed in 1984. There have
been several changes and modifications to that sign since it
was constructed.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
Electronic changeable signs are an approved special use in any zoning district, except
residential, provided the message doesn't change more often than once every 45 seconds. The
sign also needs to be in conformance with the sign requirements for the zoning district, in which
the property is located. The subject property is zoned, M-1, Light Industrial, which requires that
free standing signage can not exceed 80 square feet in size. The existing sign meets that size
requirement. The petitioner is proposing a simple modification of the sign that will replace the
existing manual gas pricing signs with the installation of two electronic gas pricing signs, which
is approximately 14.4 square feet in size.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends approval of the special use permit as electronic changeable signs are an
approved special use in the industrial zoning districts, 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.
