Sign 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • (206) 431 -3670 • Fax (206) 431 -3665 Staff Report to the Planning Commission SITE INFORMATION L95 -0014 Page 2 FINDINGS The Puetz Golf store is located at 402 Strander Boulevard adjacent to the Sears Homelife store. The wall that the sign would be located on faces Strander and is set back 140 feet from the property line. BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting Planning Commission approval of a sign area increase from the 72:8 square feet that would be allowed outright by the sign . . code to 104.8 square feet. The Planning Division has issued a permanent sign permit for the " Puetz Golf' portion of the sign which is 58.7 square feet. The increase in sign area that Puetz Golf is seeking would allow additional text, "Discount Superstore," as well as a golf club graphic to become permanently located underneath the existing sign. The new portion which is 32 square feet in area would be designed to be compatible with the existing text and read as one sign. PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION CRITERIA The Planning Commission is authorized to approve requests for sign area increases of up‘>.to 50% for each: doubling: of the minimum required setback per TMC 19.32.140. The maximum sign area that can be approved is limited to 6% of the wall area on which the sign will be located or 500 s.f., whichever is Tess. The CM zoning designation requires a front building setback of 50 feet.. The proposed sign is located on the south wall of the building Puetz Golf will occupy which is setback 140 feet from the property line. This is 2.8 times the required 50 foot setback and so qualifies for the sign area increase. The wall area fronting the space that Puetz Golf will occupy is X1760 square feet so the maximum sign area that would be allowed based on the-6% limitation is 1'05.6 square feet. CONCLUSIONS The proposed sign easily meets the setback requirements for the increase in sign area and complies with the 6% maximum limitation. There are several signs in the area of Staff Report to the .. Planning Commission L95-0014 Page 3 approximately similar size including: Sears Homelife next door with a 133 square foot sign. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Division recommends approval of the proposed sign area increase from 72 to, 104.8 square feet. .`: in •1..ti1.'.JS. ?..:..:a1Jt,.N•i. J.�51.1' i ci`5 QO 1 TubeM Ms. Nora Gierloff CITY OF TUKWILA Department of Community Development 6300 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila, WA 98188 RE: PUETZ GOLF 402 Strander Boulevard Dear Nora, We are requesting approval of a 104.85 square foot wall sign exceeding the square footage allowed from Table 1 but less than 6% of the building face (105.63 square foot), the maximum sign area allowed by section 19.32.150. Our request for additional square footage is based on section 19.32.140 (A) ". Upon application to and approval by the planning commission, the permitted sign area may increase no more than fifty percent for each doubling of the minimum setback distance for a wall upon which a particular sign is to be placed, but in no case shall sign area exceed that permitted in section 19.32.150 ". The proposed sign is to be located on the south evelation with an E.B.F. (exposed building face) of 1760.58 square feet which allows a maximum 72.82 square foot sign. This allowance is for a facade meeting the minimum setback required for the zone. The applicant's facade is located 140 feet back from Strander Boulevard in a CM zone requiring a 50 foot setback, therefore the minimum setback has been doubled 2.8 times, allowing for the additional requested sign. This additional sign area is to become part of the existing wall sign. The applicant has a sign on the south elevation of 58.72 square feet rather than the allowed 72.82 square feet. This request is to add 32.03 square feet to the allowable area to include a golf club and a capsule sign describing the nature of the business. The additional signage meets the requirements for the approval by requesting a sign area not exceeding 6% of the facade, which is achieved by one doubling of the setback. We feel the applicants request meets the intent of the code and is compatible with the signage in the surrounding area.. If you have any questions, please call me at (206)223 -1122.
