Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 80041
Applicant: Brookdale Ford
Location: Shingle Creek Parkway, north of Brookdale Ford
Request: Sign Variance
The applicant requests a variance from Section 34-130:11 of the City's Sign
Ordinance to allow two off -site directional signs on the future Brookdale Square
site for the purpose of leading southbound traffic on Shingle Creek Parkway to
the Brookdale Ford site. Both sites are zoned C2 and access to Brookdale Ford
for southbound traffic must be through the Brookdale Square site.
The applicant has submitted a letter (attached) stating his reasons for seeking
the variance and the justification he sees for it. He argues that:
1. Brookdale Ford and its customers will suffer a hardship if no
off -site directional signs are allowed.
2. The City has imposed a traffic circulation pattern which is
fairly unique for two commercial establishments on separate
parcels of land.
3. The variance will not adversely affect others since Commercial
Partners, Inc. have agreed to the placing of signs on their
property.
Staff generally agree with these comments and would point out that the circumstances
confronting the applicant - the future closing of the median opening in Shingle
Creek Parkway adjacent to Brookdale Ford - have not been caused by the property
owner. The present variance request is very similar in nature to the variance
requested by Cinema I, II, III, IV under Application No. 79062. In that case, the
only entrance to the theater property was through another site. In this case,
other entrances are available; however, the route which is most reasonable for
southbound Shingle Creek Parkway traffic is through a different site.
Another issue, should the argument for a variance be accepted, is the number and
location of such signs in view of the ordinance goal of "necessary visual com-
munication." The applicant requests that two signs be allowed: one at the
intersection with Shingle Creek Parkway and the other at the intersection of the
south entrance drive to Brookdale Square and the main north -south driving lane
on the west side of the site (see attached diagram). Another location, suggested
by staff, would be at the drive opening leading off to Brookdale Ford. A sign
at one of these locations is probably necessary.
Although the Sign Ordinance allows for larger directional signs, the variance
procedure does allow the Planning Commission and City Council to limit the size
of the signs to whatever is required for nne_c�essarr visual communication. The
sign at Shingle Creek Parkway is proposed to be 8 sq. ft. and this seems to be
an appropriate size. The size of the second sign, if needed at all, should be
considerably smaller and the applicant has indicated a 4 sq. ft. sign for this
purpose.
Consistent with the approval of the variance granted under Application No. 79062
for the Cinema I, II, III, IV, approval is recommended subject to at least the
following conditions:
10-9-80 -1-
Application No. 80041 continued
1. The variance is for two off -site directional signs on the Brookdale
Square site. The size of the sign at Shingle Creek Parkway shall
be no greater than 8 sq. ft. The other directional sign shall be
at the location indicated on the submitted site plan and shall be
no larger than 4 sq. ft.
2. The applicant agrees not to erect any other freestanding identi-
fication or directional sign along Shingle Creek Parkway.
