1 COUNCL STAFF REPORT CTY COUNCL of SALT LAKE CTY TO: City Council Members FROM: Russell Weeks Public Policy Analyst DATE: March 13, 2014 at 11:03 AM PROJECT TMELNE: Briefing: March 18, 2014 Set Date: March 25, 2014 Public Hearing: April 22, 2014 Potential Action: May 6, 2014 RE: ZONNG TEXT AMENDMENT: MONUMENT SGN HEGHT N MANUFACTURNG DSTRCTS Go to: Administrative Transmittal Council Sponsor: Land Use Petition SSUE AT-A-GLANCE Purpose of Briefing: To determine if the City Council considers the item ready to forward for formal consideration. The proposed ordinance would amend Salt Lake City s Municipal Code to increase the height of monument signs in areas zoned for heavy and light manufacturing. Chapter 21A A.3 permits 5-foot-high and 10-foot-high monument signs in those districts. The proposed ordinance would permit 20-foot-high monument signs as long as the signs are set back 20 feet from the property line along a public street or road. The Salt Lake City Planning Commission on August 28, 2013, unanimously adopted a motion to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council to adopt the proposed ordinance. The ordinance is the result of Petition No. PLNPCM initiated by Young Electric Sign Company working with Price Realty Group. POLCY QUESTONS 1. The following two items are not questions but observations by the Salt Lake City Planning Division staff and City Council staff. A. The Planning Division staff noted that the Salt Lake City Urban Design Element includes policies for industrial and manufacturing areas such as: CTY COUNCL OF SALT LAKE CTY 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 304 P.O.

2 o o Provide ample opportunities for business to advertise produces and service without having a detrimental effect on the community. Consider sign design and location as an integral part of all development, not as an afterthought. 1 B. The City Council Philosophy Statement for the Economic Health of the City adopted in 2012 says in part: n recognition of the importance of Economic Health to the City, the City Council aspires to advance the City s position as a preeminent commercial center in the ntermountain West and to promote and encourage the qualities of Salt Lake City living that support our City s vibrancy and Economic Health. We support the Economic Health of the City and encourage: o o o o The role of the City as a leader for the State s economic development, The pursuit of large, quality projects, and Opportunities to attract visitors, long-term residents, corporate development, and both local and non-local business The promotion of policies that help businesses, particularly local businesses, thrive in the City. ADDTONAL & BACKGROUND NFORMATON As indicated earlier, this proposed ordinance is the result of a land-use petition filed by Young Electric Sign Company on behalf of Price Realty Group. The ordinance would affect the size of monument signs in areas zoned for light and heavy manufacturing. Price Realty is developing property on California Avenue and has adopted its own corporate identity sign plan. According to a letter from Young Electric Sign Company, Price Realty feels that pylon style has a professional and classical look that is not found on a pole sign. 2 The current zoning ordinance allows owners of property with 100 feet or more of frontage on a public street or road to erect either a pole sign or monument sign but not both to advertise their business or tenants. Pole signs as high as 25 feet are permitted with a 15-foot minimum setback from the street front. Monument signs also are permitted, but are limited to five feet or 10 feet in height with respective minimum setbacks of five feet and 10 feet. The proposed ordinance would amend 21A to allow a five-foot high monument sign with a minimum setback from the street frontage of five feet. After that the height of the monument sign would be permitted to increase one foot in height for each foot of setback from the street up to a maximum height and setback of 20 feet. The amendment also would cap the area of a monument sign face at 150 square feet to avoid circumstances where under the current ordinance a monument sign might resemble a 20-foot-high wall. 3 According to the Planning Division staff, monument signs will continue to follow lighting standards for signs in manufacturing districts. The standards allow for back lighting or external lighting for signs as long as the light does not constitute a nuisance.

The proposed regulation changes will affect sections 21A of the zoning ordinance. Related provisions of Title 21A-Zoning may also be amended as part of this petition.

The existing regulations limit monument sign height to a maximum of 10 feet. The applicant is requesting that this be modified to 20 feet. The applicant has )lad discussions with businesses and developers that indicate 20' tall monument signs would be preferred to pole signs for many propeliies in the manufactming 4 51 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 404 P.

4 districts. As discussed in the applicant's original submittal, the applicant believes that pole signs do not reflect the business types that are locating to the manufacturing districts, particularly those locating along California Avenue. Considerations The applicant requested a change to the regulations for signs in the Manufacturing Districts in order to build monument signs up to 20 feet, but did not specify a preferred setback. Staff considered a variety of options in order to develop a proposal appropriate for the Manufacturing Districts. The applicant's submission suggested that the monument sign standards in the Manufacturing Districts should more closely match the allowances in the General Commercial (CG), Downtown (0-1, 0-2, & 0-4) and Sugar House Business (CSHBD) Districts. Staff conducted a review of the monument sign allowances across the city and found that there is a general correlation between monument sign height allowed and the required setback of buildings from the front property line. Where buildings are located close to the sidewalk and street with little or no setback, tall monuments signs are also allowed up close to the street. Alternately, where buildings are located farther from the street, monument signs are limited in height along the street. Due to development types and zoning regulations in the Manufacturing Distticts, buildings are located farther from the street than in many of the city's other commercial districts. This being the case, a tall monument sign next to the street would not necessarily fit with the development pattern in the Manufacturing Districts, despite being permitted in many other commercial districts. Tall monument signs, sometimes referred to as pylon signs, are a type that has been growing in popularity in recent years. There are a few examples of these in Salt Lake, primarily along State Street and at automobile dealers. However, monument signs of these heights are not currently allowed in the Manufacturing Districts. A company may instead choose a pole sign, due to its height and size allowance, despite preferring a tall monument sign. Some businesses want to have signs large and tall enough for semi-trucks and automobiles to see from a distance, but due to compatibility with brand image and aesthetic preferences, would prefer not to use a pole sign. The proposed amendment aims to further the urban design and Master Plan sign policies of the city by allowing for appropriately scaled monument signs that balance the needs and desires of businesses for identification with the overall purpose of maintaining the city as an attractive place in which to live and work. Proposal With this in mind, staff developed a proposal that allows for 20' high monument signs, but only when the sign is set back 20' from the front property line. This maintains the general development pattern and city urban design policies for the Manufacturing Districts by keeping a lower scale of development along the street, but allowing for increased sign height as a sign gets closer to a building. The proposed amendment regulates the size and location of monument signs

5 in order to be harmonious with the buildings and expected landscaping in the Manufacturing Districts and furthers the purposes of the sign ordinance. The proposed amendment is highlighted in red below. 2A A.3 Sign Type, Size and Height Standards: Standards/or the M- and M-2 Districts Types of Maximum Area Maximum Height of Minimum Number of Signs Limit on Permitted Per Sign Face Freestanding Signs 1 Setback' Permitted Per Combined Signs Sign Type Number of Signs' Monument 150 square feet 5 feet at the minimum 5 feet 1 sign per street 1 sign per sign' setback and increases 1 frontage street foot for each additional 1 frontage foot of setback for a maximum of 20 feet Pole sign' 1 square foot per 25 feet 15 feet 1 per street linear foot of street frontage frontage; 200 square feet maximum for a single business, 300 square feet maximum for multiple businesses PUBLC PROCESS: This application was reviewed at the Public Open House on June 20, There were no comments submitted during the open house. At a public hearing on August 28, 2013, the Planning Commission passed a motion to transmit a positive recommendation for the petition to the City Council. The vote was unanimous. RELEVANT ORDNANCES: Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and Maps are authorized under Section 21 A.SO of the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance, as detailed in Section 21A.SO.OSO: "A decision to amend the text of this title or the zoning map by general amendment is a matter committed to the legislative discretion of the City Council and is not controlled by anyone standard." t does, however, list four standards, which should be considered for a text amendment (Section 21 A.SO.OSO A). The four standards are discussed in detail starting on page S ofthe Plmming COlmnission Staff Report published August 22, 2013 (ATTACHMENT 4A). As di scussed above, the proposal would atnend section 21 A "Sign Regulations for the Manufacturing Districts."

Recommended Motion Consistent with Staff Recommendation: Based on the findings listed in the staff report, testimony and plans presented, move that the Planning Commission transmit a favorable recommendation to the City Council to adopt the proposed zoning ordinance text amendment to modify the monument sign regulations for the Manufacturing zoning districts. PLNPCM Manufacturing Districts Monument Sign Height Text Amendment Published Date: August 22,

24 VCNTY MAP Background Project Description Yesco, represented by Deanne Leatherman, has initiated a request to amend the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance to allow increased monument sign height in both the M-1 Light Manufacturing Zoning District and M-2 Heavy Manufacturing Districts. The existing regulations limit monument sign height to a maximum of 10 feet. The applicant is requesting that this be modified to 20 feet. The applicant has had discussions with businesses and developers that indicate 20 tall monument signs would be preferred to pole signs for many properties in the Manufacturing districts. As discussed in the applicant s original submittal, the applicant believes that pole signs do not reflect the business types that are locating to the Manufacturing districts, particularly those locating along California Avenue. PLNPCM Manufacturing Districts Monument Sign Height Text Amendment Published Date: August 22,

25 Existing Regulations Types Of Signs Permitted Monument sign 5 Pole sign 5 Maximum Area Per Sign Face 1 square foot per linear foot of street frontage 1 square foot per linear foot of street frontage; 200 square feet maximum for a single business, 300 square feet maximum for multiple businesses Maximum Height Of Freestanding Signs 1 5 feet 10 feet Number Of Signs Permitted Per Sign Type 1 per street Minimum Setback 2 5 feet 10 feet frontage 25 feet 15 feet 1 per street frontage Limit On Combined Number Of Signs 3 1 sign per street frontage The existing regulations for monument signs in the Manufacturing districts require 5 setback for a sign that is 5 in height and 10 of setback for a sign that is 10 in height. Any sign that is setback between 5 and 10 can only extend to 5 in height. A 10 tall monument sign can be placed anywhere as long as it is setback from the front or corner side property lines by 10 feet. An illustration of the existing regulations for monument signs in the Manufacturing districts is located below. Building and pole sign height, as well as setback regulations are included for context. The monument signs illustrated below reflect a 50 square foot sign face area, but according to the current ordinance a property with 300 feet of frontage could build a monument sign with a 300 square foot sign face area, as there is no maximum limitation. Properties must have at least 100 feet of street frontage to have a pole or monument sign.

26 Proposal Considerations The applicant requested a change to the sign regulations for signs in the Manufacturing Districts in order to build monument signs up to 20 feet, but did not specify a particular preferred setback. Staff considered a variety of options in order to develop a proposal appropriate for the Manufacturing districts. The applicant s submission suggested that the monument sign standards in the Manufacturing Districts should more closely match the allowances in the General Commercial (CG), Downtown (D-1, D-2, & D-4) and Sugar House Business (CSHBD) districts. These commercial districts have generally similar rules for monument signs. As an example, the General Commercial (CG) District allows for monument signs up to 20 in height at a 4 setback from the front property line. However, the development pattern in the CG District is fundamentally different than patterns in the Manufacturing Districts. Whereas buildings in the CG District are often built as close to the front property line as permitted, usually 10 feet for new construction, in the Manufacturing Districts new development is usually setback significantly more than the minimum required front yard setback line of 15 feet. This is often done to incorporate at least two rows of parking between the front property line and the building. Due to the type of development and businesses in the Manufacturing Districts, paved areas behind and to the side of buildings are frequently kept clear for semitrailer loading and unloading areas. Though not always the case when development is on a large lot, in the CG or other commercial districts, car parking lots are generally provided to the rear or side of the building, rather than in front of the building. The difference in typical building setbacks means that CG properties have a small area in front of the building to place a monument sign, whereas in Manufacturing Districts there is often 60 feet or more of setback area where a monument sign could be placed. Development intensity thus scales gradually from the street in the Manufacturing Districts, but scales more rapidly in the CG District. Other commercial districts, such as the D-1, D-2, D-4 and CSHBD districts have height allowances similar to the CG District for monument signs due to their development intensity being located right at the street front with little to no required setback from the front property line. This being the case, a tall monument sign next to the street would not necessarily fit with the development pattern in the Manufacturing Districts, despite being permitted in many other commercial districts. Likewise, the existence of sign regulations that allow for tall monument signs in certain districts does not necessarily mean that the allowed height is always appropriate for development in these districts, and some of these regulations could be changed in the future to reflect new development and urban design expectations. A generalized table of existing regulations for monument signs across a sampling of commercial and manufacturing districts in Salt Lake City is located below. District Maximum Building Height Minimum Building Setback Maximum Sign Height Minimum Sign Setback Area Allowed M-1/M-2 65 /85 15 /25 5 ; 10 5 for 5 ; 10 for 10 1 sq ft per linear foot of street frontage CG ; 20 0 for 8 ; 4 for 20 1 sq ft per linear foot of street frontage CC ; 12 ; 20 (1 acre 0 for 6 ; 5 for sq ft minimum) or 20 D-1/D sq ft per linear foot of street frontage D sq ft per linear foot of street frontage PLNPCM Manufacturing Districts Monument Sign Height Text Amendment Published Date: August 22,

27 D sq ft TSA sq ft CSHBD sq ft RP/BP 45 / sq ft Proposed Regulations Staff developed the below proposal to allow for flexibility in monument sign size and placement, while still maintaining conformance with existing development regulations, and general City urban design expectations for areas zoned as Manufacturing. 21A A.3 Sign Type, Size And Height Standards: Standards for the M-1 and M-2 Districts Types of Permitted Signs Maximum Area Per Sign Face Maximum Height of Freestanding Signs 1 Monument sign square feet 5 feet at the minimum setback and increases 1 foot for each additional 1 foot of setback for a maximum of 20 feet Pole sign 5 1 square foot per linear foot of street frontage; 200 square feet maximum for a single business, 300 square feet maximum for multiple businesses Minimum Setback 2 Number of Signs Permitted Per Sign Type 5 feet 1 sign per street frontage 25 feet 15 feet 1 per street frontage Limit on Combined Number of Signs 3 1 sign per street frontage The changes are highlighted in red above. This proposal will allow for a 5 foot sign at a setback of 5 feet from the property line. The height allowance increases one foot with each additional foot of setback for a maximum sign height of 20 feet. This differs from the existing regulation in that it allows for a more gradual increase in monument sign height as the sign gets further from the street, as opposed to the current 5 step in the height increase. As the current regulation allows for 1 square foot of signage for every linear foot of street frontage, an increase in the height allowance opens up the potential for a 20 tall wall. As such, the above proposal limits the area of the sign to 150 square feet. This will allow for a 20 sign that is 7 6 wide. The monument sign example submitted by the applicant is approximately 125 square feet in area. This proposal allows for up to a 15 tall sign at the minimum building setback in the M-1 District, and a 20 foot tall monument sign at the minimum building setback in the M-2 District. The existing standards regulate the number of large signs by limiting properties to either one monument sign or one pole sign per street frontage and also limit monument signs to properties with at least 100 of street frontage. These limitations are not proposed to be changed. To provide some perspective, examples of tall monument signs in the Salt Lake metropolitan area, including some that would be permitted under the proposed regulations, are included in Attachment D. A rendering of a possible 20 sign in the M-1 District is also located in this attachment. An illustration of the proposed regulations is located below.

Analysis and Findings Findings 21A Standards for general amendments A decision to amend the text of this title or the zoning map by general amendment is a matter committed to the legislative discretion of the city council and is not controlled by any one standard. PLNPCM Manufacturing Districts Monument Sign Height Text Amendment Published Date: August 22,

29 A. n making its decision concerning a proposed text amendment, the city council should consider the following factors: 1. Whether a proposed text amendment is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the city as stated through its various adopted planning documents; Analysis: The Salt Lake City Urban Design Element outlines policies and associated strategies to strengthen the city s urban form. This document specifically addressed the condition of Salt Lake City s industrial areas and recommended urban design policies to create a more pleasing environment. With regard to signs in the industrial areas of the city, the document suggests that signage throughout the commercial/industrial areas need not be overpowering. Patrons to such establishments are coming to the area to do business at a particular establishment; consequently, the signs do not have to compete with other establishment signs. Further, the document also includes a section specifically about signs that discusses the desire to prevent signs from being a dominant feature of the landscape along the city s major boulevards and gateways. This section also includes the following relevant policies: Provide ample opportunities for business to advertise products and service without having a detrimental effect on the community. Consider sign design and location as an integral part of all development, not as an afterthought. n conformance with the above policies, the proposed amendment will allow for ample sign area and height for properties and businesses in the Manufacturing districts, while limiting the ability to create an overpowering, distracting visual environment along street frontages. The proposal has been designed to limit the size and location of the monument signs to be compatible with the desired development of the Manufacturing districts of the city, preventing signs from being the dominant feature of development. The West Salt Lake Master Plan from 1995 refers to the above referenced Urban Design Element document in regard to sign policies for the industrial areas within the West Salt Lake planning community. The Capitol Hill Master Plan discusses the potential for attractive redevelopment of the existing Manufacturing zoned industrial areas in the north industrial area of the City, but does not address sign regulations directly. Finding: The proposed text change is consistent with adopted policy documents. 2. Whether a proposed text amendment furthers the specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance; Analysis: The purpose of the regulations in Signs is as follows: 1. Eliminate potential hazards to motorists and pedestrians by requiring that signs are designed, constructed, installed and maintained in a manner that promotes the public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Salt Lake City; 2. Encourage signs which, by their good design, are integrated with and harmonious to the buildings and sites, including landscaping, which they occupy; 3. Encourage sign legibility through the elimination of excessive and confusing sign displays; 4. Preserve and improve the appearance of the city as a place in which to live and to work, and create an attraction to nonresidents to come to visit or trade; 5. Allow each individual business to clearly identify itself and the nature of its business in such a manner as to become the hallmark of the business which will create a distinctive appearance and also enhance the city's character; PLNPCM Manufacturing Districts Monument Sign Height Text Amendment Published Date: August 22,

30 6. Safeguard and enhance property values; 7. Protect public and private investment in buildings and open space; and 8. Permit on premises signs as provided by the specific zoning district sign regulations included in this chapter. (Ord , 2004: Ord (Exh. A), 1995) The proposed amendment generally furthers the above purposes by allowing for appropriately scaled monument signs that balance the need and desires of businesses for identification with the overall purpose of maintaining the City as an attractive place in which to live and work. Specifically, the proposed amendment regulates the size and location of monument signs in order to be harmonious with the buildings and expected landscaping in the Manufacturing districts and furthers the second purpose statement of the sign ordinance. These same regulations will further purpose 4 by allowing appropriately sized signs that will maintain and help positively shape the appearance of the industrial areas of the City. The current regulations limit the size and scale of monument signs to the extent that business in the industrial areas of the City may choose to implement up to 25 tall pole signs rather than more ground level oriented signs such as monument signs. Allowing for larger monument signs may encourage businesses to implement monument signs, rather than pole signs, reducing the potential for an excess of pole signs, furthering purpose 3 of the sign ordinance. Monument signs generally allow for a variety of design elements at the ground level that are able to visually integrate with property landscaping and address both pedestrian and automobile traffic. Pole signs do not usually address both pedestrian and automobile traffic by nature of being located on top of a tall pole and usually do not have any design elements at the ground level that would integrate with landscaping. ncreasing the permitted monument sign size can better allow businesses to give their signs a more distinctive appearance that can integrate with landscaping at the ground level, while still accommodating the need for visibility and clear identification of businesses to automobile traffic. This would further both purposes 2 and 5 which address attractive business identification and landscaping integrating. The purpose of the Manufacturing District sign regulations of 21A is as follows: Sign regulations for the M-1 and M-2 districts are intended to provide for appropriate identification of industrial and manufacturing uses. Signage should enhance the aesthetics of the districts, rather than clutter the area. Supportive commercial signage should be in scale with industrial signage. n compliance with the purpose, this proposal aims to limit cluttering of signs along street frontages and maintain an appropriate scale of signs for this district, while still allowing for the necessary identification of businesses in the district. The general purpose statements for the M-1 and M-2 districts, as well as the overall purpose statement for the Manufacturing districts found in 21A speak to the desire of the City to improve the design quality of industrial areas while providing for economic development in the districts. The monument sign proposal furthers the purposes by allowing for businesses to appropriately identify themselves in the district while maintaining a compliance with urban design standards. Finding: The proposed text amendment furthers the purposes of the sign and manufacturing district ordinances by encouraging a sign type that can better promote the ordinance purposes through improved visual integration with the development of the Manufacturing district built environment. PLNPCM Manufacturing Districts Monument Sign Height Text Amendment Published Date: August 22,

31 3. Whether a proposed text amendment is consistent with the purposes and provisions of any applicable overlay zoning districts which may impose additional standards; and Analysis: The proposed text amendments are for the M-1 and M-2 districts city-wide and as such will affect properties within the Airport Flight Path Protection Overlay District (AFPP) that are zoned M-1 or M-2. The AFPP overlay prevents development over certain heights that would negatively impact airplane flight paths. The limited height of the monument sign proposal means that it is not impacted by the additional height restrictions of the AFPP overlay. Finding: The proposed text amendment is consistent with additional standards imposed by applicable overlay zoning districts and meets this standard. 4. The extent to which a proposed text amendment implements best current, professional practices of urban planning and design. Analysis: Sign regulations vary depending on local and regional preferences. Staff found no consistent standard for monument sign regulations for industrial areas across a wide sampling of different municipalities; however, all sampled municipal zoning ordinances regulated monument signs through a combination of overall square footage, height, and setback requirements. Current professional planning practice recognizes that opinions on sign regulations can vary and that different interest groups, including businesses and residents, may have conflicting preferences. The proposed monument sign regulations attempt to balance the need for business visibility and preference for monument signage type, while maintaining compliance with general urban design policies and practices that aim to encourage visually pleasing industrial development. The evolving business and land use mix in the industrial areas of the City, which is generally shifting away from intensive industrial uses, may no longer be as well served with the current monument sign limitation as they were in previous years and an increase in the monument sign height will provide businesses and property owners other options for large identification signs besides pole signs. Finding: The proposed text amendment implements common practices in urban planning and design. Alternatives The Planning Commission can consider alternatives to the proposal, including increased or reduced monument sign setback, height, or sign area limitations. For example, the Planning Commission may find that allowing for a 20 tall monument sign closer to the front property line than the recommended proposal is appropriate for the Manufacturing districts and more closely meets the applicable standards for this proposed text amendment. Alternatively, the Planning Commission may find that a 20 tall monument signs should be set further back from the front property line than the current proposal and more closely meets the standards. Commission Options The Planning Commission can: Recommend denial of the proposed text amendment. Recommend the text amendment be approved as proposed. Recommend modifications to the proposed text amendment, including increased or reduced monument sign setback, heights, or sign area limitations. Substantial changes may require the application to be re-noticed. The Planning Commission should focus on the request before them and should seek buy in from the applicant on any modifications. PLNPCM Manufacturing Districts Monument Sign Height Text Amendment Published Date: August 22,

32 The Planning Commission is a recommending body for the matter and this text amendment will be sent to the City Council following the Planning Commission recommendation. The City Council can choose to agree with the Planning Commission recommendation, modify the recommendation, or disagree with the recommendation. Potential Motions The motion recommended by the Planning Division is located on the cover page of this staff report. The recommendation is based on the above analysis. Below is a motion that may be used in cases where the Planning Commission determines that the text amendment should not be approved. Not Consistent with Staff Recommendation: Based on the testimony, plans presented and the following findings, move that the Planning Commission transmit a negative recommendation to the City Council regarding the proposed zoning ordinance text amendment to modify the monument sign regulations for the Manufacturing zoning districts.

34 v 1605 South Gramercy Road P.O. Box Salt Lake City, Utah or Telephone Fax UT Contractors Lice nse No Salt Lake City Planning and Zoning Under Salt Lake City, Utah City Code 21A,46,100 M -l & M -2 Zones the allowed height of a monument sign is 10'. n CSHBD, CG, D-l, D-4, Delta Center and D-2 Zones the height allowed for a monument sign is 20'. n a CC and CB Zones a 20' height is allowed for properties with a minimum property area of 1 acre. This request is to amend 21A.46,100 to allow monument signs to also be 20' in height. n the Manufacturing Zones there are very few small lots or small buildings and allowing 20' monument signs would be appropriate for this zone, Price Realty recently adopted a Corporate dentity Sign Plan. They feel that a pylon style (basically a tall monument) sign has a professional and classical look that is not found on a pole sign. A pylon sign is the type of sign that they would like on to reflex their image. Their Corporate dentity Sign Plan is centered in this belief. Price Realty is currently developing properties on California Ave. These developments with identical architecturally designed buildings will be the home to tenants that will need their identification on the development's sign. An allowed 10' high monument sign would not give these developments the height needed give their tenants proper identification, Salt Lake City Ordinance 21A.46,100 allows pole signs to be 25' in height, Although a pole sign would not be within their Corporate dentity and would be less attractive it would be the only option to give them the visibility that they and their tenants need,

35 v 1605 South Gramercy Road P.O. Box Salt Lake City, Utah or Telephone Fax UT Contractors License No Manufacturing Zones have in the past been typically large businesses that simply wanted a large tall sign that boldly stated their name. Technology has created new types of businesses with different manufacturing, shipping and etc. needs. Many of these businesses share buildings in Manufacturing Zones. They often pick buildings that meet their functional requirements and that are architecturally pleasing, without the typical warehouse look. These businesses want this type of image in their building and in the sign that their name will be on. t only seems reasonable these businesses would be welcome along with traditional businesses and be allowed sign age that will reflect their image. Therefore we respectfully request a Zoning Amendment change to 21A to allow monument signs to be the 20' in height as they are allowed in the CC, CB, CSHBD, D-l, D-4, Delta Center and D-2 Zones.
