Re: Signage Allowance: B -4, Limited Business District Zone
Dear Mr. Montanari:
I am writing in response to your telephone call inquiry as to signage allowance at 13481
60 St. N. City of Oak Park Heights Sign Ordinance 401.15.G allows this site to have
one freestanding sign no larger than 100 square feet in size. Cumulative allowable
signage for the entire site, including all signage, is based upon 15% of the front building
facade but may be no greater than 300 square feet unless approved by conditional use
permit or as part of any planned unit development.
In short, after you calculate 15% of the building front facade square footage and deduct
the square footage of the monument sign (permit no. 2005 - 00271) the difference will be
what remains for wall signage use. Be reminded that in no case may your cumulative
signage exceed 300 sq. feet unless approved by conditional use permit or as part of any
planned unit development.
At such time you submit permit application for additional signage, you are asked to
provide square footage dimensions of existing signage, including the monument sign.
I hope that this addresses your inquiry satisfactorily. Should you have further inquiry,
please feel free to contact City Administrator Eric Johnson or myself.
Sincerely,
i LL JuHultman
Planning & Code Enforcement Officer
