Project File Number: S06 -039 L06 -048 I. PROJECT INFORMATION July 25, 2006 Applicant: Jon Swanzy Type of Permit Applied for: Permanent Sign Permit Project Description: Request for a Special Permission Sign to increase the allowable sign area from 110 SF to 135 SF. Location: 790 Andover Park East Comprehensive Plan Designation/Zoning District: TUC Vicinity /Site Information The proposed sign will be located on the western face of the wall of the building located at 790 Andover Park East. The zoning into which this building falls is TUC, and the surrounding land uses are commercial. The area of the exposed building face (EBF) is 2250 square feet. The setback of the building from the street is 66 feet. The required front setback in the TUC is 15 feet. Upon approval as a Type 2 decision, according to TMC 19.32.140 (A), sign area may be increased 50% for each doubling of KD 07/25/2006 Q:\SIGNS\NOD-L06-048.doc • • the required minimum setback up to a maximum of 500 SF or 6% of the total EBF, whichever is less (TMC 19.32.150) Per table 1 of TMC 19.32.140, the standard allowed sign area would normally be 110 SF for an EBF of 2250 SF. Since the building setback is 60 feet (4 times the minimum setback required within the TUC zone), this application qualifies for review as a Type 2 decision. Six percent of the EBF for this building is 135 SF. The proposed sign area is 132 SF. Conclusions 1. The building setback is a sufficient distance to allow an increase in the area of the wall sign. 2. The proposed sign area is takes up 5.8% of the total area of the EBF, which is within the 6% maximum threshold of wall sign area to EBF area as required by TMC 19.32.150. II. DECISION SEPA Determination: The City SEPA Responsible Official has previously determined that this application does not require a SEPA threshold determination because it is categorically exempt. Decision on Substantive Permit: The Planning Supervisor has determined that the application for a permanent sign permit and increase does comply with applicable City and state code requirements and has approved that application. 1.
