Approval of SP-279 (Specific Use Permit), Union Peters Elementary, 10.34 acres, R-1, one-half mile south of Kenosha Street, one-quarter mile east of Olive Avenue
End
Background:
SP-279 is a request for a Specific Use Permit for a new electronic sign to replace the existing school sign at Peters Elementary School. The property, which contains 10.34 acres, is located approximately one-half mile south of Kenosha Street, one-quarter mile east of Olive Avenue.
Peters Elementary School is located in a residentially zoned district. The Specific Use Permit for the school, SP-11, was approved by City Council on May 1, 1978.
The SP-279 is being requested to allow the sign to have an illuminated LED board on a monument style base. The overall sign dimensions are approximately 8-feet in height and approximately 10.5 feet in width. The LED display portion of the new sign proposed by the applicant is approximately 2 ½ feet in height and approximately 8 ½ feet in width, with an estimated display area of 24-feet.
Schools are permitted in any residential district with a Specific Use Permit by the zoning ordinance. Illuminated signs are permitted in residential districts, as part of an intuitional use, such as a school, with a Specific Use Permit. SP-279 is therefore in accordance with the comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance. Staff recommends that SP-279 be approved and that platting be waived.
SP-279 was recommended for approval (5-0 vote) by the Planning Commission in their meeting of June 8, 2017. No one spoke against this item.
