BACKGROUND
Cory Schumacher of ASI Signage Innovations/Signation Sign Group representing
HealthPartners/Lakeview EMS has made application for a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) to allow two signs on one façade at 14702 60th Street North. The Conditional
Use Permit would allow separate signs for HealthPartners and Lakeview EMS on the

•
EMS use is permitted in this district.
EXHIBITS
The review is based upon the following submittals:
Exhibit 1: Sign Plan
Exhibit 2: Air Photo with Property Lines
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The property is designated as Commercial on the Proposed
Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan. The current use and proposed signage are
consistent with this land use designation.
Zoning. The site is zoned B-2 General Business District, Section 401.15.G.8.d of the
Zoning Ordinance allows for a total of three wall signs on any building, with each sign
placed on a separate facade. The Applicant has proposed two wall signs on the south
Page 98 of 110
facade. The HealthPartners sign is 118.75 square feet, the Lakeview EMS sign is 48.67
square feet. The Ordinance allows for a maximum of 120 square feet for an individual
sign and a total of 300 square feet of signage for the site. There are no other wall or
freestanding signs on the building or property.
The criteria found in Section 401.03.A.7 of the Zoning Ordinance must be considered
when reviewing a request of this type.
Conditional Use Permit. The Planning Commission should consider the following
issues and impacts of the proposed project in making its recommendation.
The conditional use permit criteria, found in Section 401.03.A.7 of the Zoning
Ordinance, are found as follows:
1. Relationship to the specific policies and provisions of the municipal
comprehensive plan.
2. The conformity with present and future land uses in the area.
3. The environmental issues and geographic area involved.
4. Whether the use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is
proposed.
5. The impact on character of the surrounding area.
6. The demonstrated need for such use.
7. Traffic generation by the use in relation to capabilities of streets serving
the property.
8. The impact upon existing public services and facilities including parks,
schools, streets, and utilities, and the City's service capacity.
9. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained
herein (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.).
Comment: The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and in conformity with
present and future land uses. There will be no environmental issues or impact to
surrounding property owners. There is no impact upon public services and facilities. City
Staff finds no issues with the signage as proposed and other businesses on the
Highway 36 corridor have received a Conditional Use Permit to allow for multiple signs
on a facade.
Sign Lighting. The plans show that the signs will be flat cut aluminum letters with no
back lighting. If any lighting is proposed, it shall be subject to review by City Staff and
comply with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION
Upon review of the request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow two signs on one
façade at 14702 60th Street North, City Staff would recommend the project with the
conditions as follows:
