The request for an increase, from 15 sq. ft. to 18.36 -sq. ft. for Computer Surplus at 16830 Southcenter Parkway This decision is based on the Findings and Conclusions listed below. BACKGROUND Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Steve Lancaster, Director File Number: S03 -03 -072 Applicant: National Sign Company for HY F Request: Approval for a Special Permission Sign, increasing the allowed sign area. The maximum allowed sign is proposed to be increased from 15 sq. ft. to 18.36- sq. ft. Location: 16830 Southcenter Pkwy Comprehensive Plan Designation: TUC Zoning District: TUC SEPA: No determination required Staff: Brandon J. Miles FINDINGS Vicinity /Site Information The sign being proposed will be located on the west wall of 16830 Southcenter Pkwy. and will face directly towards Southcenter Pkwy. The zoning on the property is TUC and surrounding land uses are commercial. The exposed building face (EBF) is 306 square feet. With the approval of the Special Permission Application, the wall sign would be 18.36 square feet (6.0% of EBF) versus the normal maximum of 15 square feet (5.0% of EBF). Decisional Criteria TMC 19.32.140(A) allows permitted sign area to be increased by 50% for each doubling of the required minimum setback...but in no case shall the sign area exceed that permitted in TMC 19.32.150. Pursuant to TMC 19.32.150, the maximum allowed sign area could be 6% of the exposed building face (EBF) up to maximum of 500 sq. ft. The required front setback in the TUC is 15 feet. The wall has a setback of about 100 feet, 6.6 times the required distance. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 .`g "*.MTP.MIttraMMIRfrOM\ Per Table 1 of TMC 19.32.140, the standard allowed sign area would normally be 15- sq. ft. for an EBF of 306 square feet. Since the building is setback 6.6 times the minimum setback required for the underlying zone, the maximum sign area is allowed to be increased 50% for each doubling of the required minimum setback up to 6% of EBF or 500 sq. ft., whichever is less. Six percent of EBF (306 -sq. ft.) is 18.36 -sq. ft; thus the maximum allowed sign area on facade is 18.36 -sq. ft. CONCLUSIONS 1. The building is setback a sufficient distance to allow an increase in the wall sign area. 2 The proposed sign area is 18.36 -sq. ft., which equals the maximum permitted size for the facade (6% of EBF -18.36 sq. ft.).
