The sign is considered a “neighborhood sign” under the sign ordinance, which requires a Conditional Use Permit. As proposed, the sign will be 6’ tall and 62 sq. ft. per side. The sign meets setback requirements for the HI district. The sign will be constructed of fabricated aluminum and vinyl with a faux ledgestone finish at the base. Page 2 Item III –CUP for neighborhood sign – SW corner W Ripple Ave & Aeroinnovate Way 3 Staff is supportive of the CUP as the proposed monument sign will meet all applicable signage standards and will provide for an attractive entrance to the Aviation Business Park. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Conditional Use Permit, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the criteria established by Chapter 30-382 (F)(3): (1) Is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan. (2) Would not result in a substantial or undue adverse impact on nearby property, the character of the neighborhood, environmental factors, traffic factors, parking, public improvements, public property or rights-of-way, or other matters affecting the public health, safety, or general welfare. (3) Maintains the desired consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use impacts as related to the environs of the subject property. (4) The conditional use is located in an area that will be adequately served by, and will not impose an undue burden on, any of the improvements, facilities, utilities or services provided by public or private agencies serving the subject property. (5) The potential public benefits outweigh any potential adverse impacts of the proposed conditional use, after taking into consideration the applicant’s proposal and any requirements recommended by the applicant to ameliorate such impacts. Staff recommends approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit for a neighborhood sign at the southwest corner of W Ripple Avenue and Aeroinnovate Way, as proposed with the findings listed above.
