Oak Park Heights — Lower St. Croix Mali: Planned Unit
Development/Conditional Use Permit and Design Guidelines
Review
Attracta Sign, representing Andersen Windows, has made application for an amended
planned unit development/conditional use permit (PUD /CUP) and Design Guidelines
review to allow for a change in signage and awnings at the lower building of the St.
Croix Mali. The original sign plan for the Mali was subject to the original PUD
agreement for exterior signage granted in 1 984 and has been subsequently revised and
amended. The signage plan for the upper mall area was approved in 1990 and the
lower mall in 1992. Revisions to the signage plan are subject to an amended PUD /CUP
in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance and original mail approvals.
Andersen Windows plans to revise much of the wall and pylon signage at the mall in a
phased approach. The first phase is to remove and replace the sign awnings on the
lower mail with individual tenant signs and canvas awnings. The building facade shall
be refurbished /repaired subject to Design Guidelines review and approval.
Exhibit 1: Sign Plan Elevations
Exhibit 2: Memo from Kim Larsen, Mali Signage Plan
Exhibits 3-9: Sign Details
ANALYSIS
Amended PLJD /CUP. The sign plan for the lower mall is subject to the provisions of
the Zoning Ordinance related to multiple occupancy .business structures. The
provisions of Section 401.15.G.9 of the Ordinance include the following:
t The maximum individual sign sizes for multiple occupancy structures and
individual uses which may display signs shall not exceed the maximum
provisions for single or double occupancy structures in the same zoning district.
2. Except as provided in paragraph (4) below, individual tenants of multiple
occupancy structures shall not display separate identification signs unless the
tenants' business has an exclusive exterior entrance. The number of signs shall
be limited to one (1) per entrance and each sign shall be limited to the maximum
wall size sign permitted in the district. Said signs shall be located only on exterior
walls which are directly related to the use being identified.
The individual signs on the wall facade would be limited to 15 percent of the front
building facade (of the individual tenant) to a maximum of 150 feet. Each of the tenants
at the lower mall has one exclusive exterior entrance and signs are limited to one per
entrance.
The signs as proposed include mostly 54 square foot individual tenant signs on the sign
band above the new canopy. All of the signs are within the square footage allotment
based upon tenant facade area.
Carbone's Pizza and Subway has requested two signs of equal size on different
facades. This would vary from the sign requirements but could be approved as part of
the PUD/CUP sign plan.
Design Guidelines. , The building fac would be altered by removing the back lit
awning signs and replaced with individual, internally illuminated cabinet signs and
canvas awnings. The awnings would not be back lit and would be terra cotta in color.
The mall facade would be repainted. The applicant has not specified a color for the
paint. Samples of the awnings and paint colors should be reviewed by the Planning
Commission and City Council. The Design Guidelines encourages the use of awnings
to provide detailing on a long, low facade. The Guidelines also encourage wall signs to
be placed within a sign band above building entrances. Consistency or compatibility
with the construction materials and architectural style of the building facade is specified
in the Design Guidelines for determining the choice of sign materials. Natural materials
such as wood or metal are preferred over plastic. As such, it is suggested that the
applicant consider individual back lit letter signs instead of the back lit plastic cabinet
signage. Individual letter signage, such as what is proposed for Subway, would reduce
the overall amount of visible sign area and light and glare that come from plastic cabinet
signs. Or, in the alternative, signs with a dark background and back tit letters /logos will
also reduce the glare and light of a typical plastic sign.

RECOMMENDATION
The request by Andersen Windows is generally consistent with the requirements of the
ordinance and the sign allowances granted as part of previous PUD approvals for the
mail. The Planning Commission and City Council should .consider if two signs should
be allowed for Carbone's Pizza and Subway. Additionally, the Planning Commission
and City Council should comment on the type of signage and determine the
acceptability of back lit plastic cabinet signs. Staff has suggested that individual
letter /logo signs or dark backgroundlback lit fetter and logo signs might be less
obtrusive and reduce the amount of light and glare. The approvals are subject to the
following conditions:
1. The Planning Commission /City Council should consider the acceptability for two
signs at Carbone's Pizza and Subway.
2. The applicant should provide samples of the canvas awning material and building
paint colors for Planning Commission and City Council review.
3. The Planning Commission /City Council should consider recommending the
applicant use individual letter /logo signs or dark background /back lit letter and
logo signs for the wall signage.
4. Further changes 'to tenant signage or the addition of signage above tenant
spaces at the lower mail may be approved subject to review of a sign permit by
the Building Official, and conformance with the provisions of Section 401.15.G of
the Zoning Ordinance.
