Background/Discussion(?) YESCO Sign Company has initiated a petition to amend the zoning ordinance related to monument signs in Manufacturing Districts.The proposed amendment would allow one monument sign for the first 1 00'of street frontage and one additional sign for every additional 250'of street frontage,with each sign separated by at least 150'.Current regulations limit monument signs to one per street frontage no matter the length of the frontage. Monument signs are freestanding signs with a sign face that extends to the ground or to a base.The applicant approached the City in 2023 to discuss a project that involved two monument signs on a single lot,but could not proceed because current regulations limit property owners to one monument sign per property in manufacturing districts.New development in the manufacturing districts often involves large properties with long street frontages and multiple entrances.The intent of the text amendment is to allow multiple monument signs on these larger lots with sufficient spacing to avoid becoming a distraction to motorists. The City's long-range planning documents generally encourage policies that support the growth of industrial areas.The Salt Lake City Urban Design Element gives direction that signage should provide opportunities for businesses to advertise without having a detrimental effect on the community,and that signage in industrial areas need not be overpowering.The proposal is similar to the sign standards for manufacturing zones in West Valley City,Magna,and South Salt Lake,which allow properties to have multiple monument signs.This proposal is aligned with relevant City goals and policies and is comparable to similar regulations in nearby municipalities. The Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the request on April 24,2024.During their discussion,the Planning Commission suggested that the language of the text amendment should be reviewed for consistency with the driveway standards in the zoning ordinance. Based on this suggestion,the proposal was subsequently updated to allow one sign for the first 1 00'and then an additional sign for each additional 250'of frontage.The Planning Commission voted 5-2 to send a positive recommendation to the City Council. Will the City Council need to hold a public hearing for this item?* Yes No Public Process •Early Notification-On January 8,2024,all community councils were sent the 45-day required notice for recognized community organizations.None of the councils provided comments on the request.An online open house was posted on the Planning Division's website from January 8 to February 22. •Planning Commission Meeting-The petition was heard by the Planning Commission on April 24th,2024.The Planning Commission voted 5-2 to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council regarding the proposed zoning map amendment.The full public meeting can be viewed using this link starting at minute 45:00.

The proposed amendment would allow one monument sign for every 250'of street frontage,with each sign separated by at least 150'. Current regulations limit monument signs to one per street frontage no matter the length of the frontage. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission forward a recommendation to the City Council to approve the proposed text amendment. ATTACHMENTS: A. Vicinity Map D. Zoning Text Amendment Standards B. Applicant's Narrative&Example Plan Set E. Public Process&Comments C. Proposed Text Amendment F. Department Review Comments PROJECT DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND: The applicant,YESCO Sign Company, approached the City in October 2023 to discuss a project that involved two monument signs on a single lot (see plans under Attachment B). Because the current regulations for monument signs in the Manufacturing Districts only allow one sign per street frontage,the applicant is requesting that the City consider amending the sign ordinance to allow multiple monument signs on larger properties. PLNPCM2023-00910 1 April 24,2024 A monument sign is defined as "a freestanding sign whose sign face extends to the ground or to a base."Other freestanding signs like pole signs � � and billboards are different sign types that will not be impacted by this petition. The sign code MONUMENT SIGN ON also includes the image to the right, which PEDESTAL BASE illustrates different types of monuments signs. The applicant's initial proposal would have <- LENGTHS _ � THE SIGN changed the maximum number of monument = FACE AREA ON signs from "i per street frontage"to "no limit." _ 3 1 L�,N A MONUMENT City staff expressed concerns that removing the �t I2 t,q SIGN IS THE limit without reasonable separation LENGTH X THE HEIGHT requirements could create situations where drivers might be confused or distracted by too many signs. Staff worked with the applicant to revise the initial proposal to include reasonable limits,which are discussed below. _ MONUMENT SIGN ON The proposed amendment would apply to all PLANTER BASE properties in manufacturing districts,which are currently located in Council Districts 1, 2, and (Figure 214.46.o2o-illustrating monument 3.A map of the affected area is provided below sign face area measurement) under Attachment A. PROPOSED CHANGES: The maximum number of monument signs in manufacturing districts can be found under section 21A.46.loo: Sign Regulations for Manufacturing Districts. The proposed amendment would add language to the table of standards for the M-1 and M-2 Districts, as follows (red underlined text is new language to be added): 21A.46.ioo:Sign Regulations for Manufacturing Districts: Types Of Maximum Maximum Height Minimum Number Of Limit On Signs Area Per Sign Of Freestanding Setback2 Signs Combined Permitted Face Signsl Permitted Per Number Of Sign Type Signs3 Monument 150 square feet 5 feet at the 5 feet 1 per each 250 1 sign per each signs minimum setback linear feet of 2ri0 linear feet of and increases 1 foot street frontage_ street frontage. for each additional 1 Each sign shall be Each sign shall be foot of setback for a separated by at separated by at maximum of 20 feet least 150 feet. least 150 feet. PLNPCM2023-00910 2 April 24,2024 APPROVAL PROCESS AND COMMISSION AUTHORITY i The proposal is for a zoning text amendment.The Planning Commission is a recommending body for zoning text amendments,per 21A.5o.05o.A.The Commission can consider forwarding the proposal to the City Council for adoption as is, with modification to any aspect of the proposal (provided the modification complies with applicable state and federal laws),or recommend that the proposal not be adopted. If considering modifications,the Commission should provide clear direction to the planning staff regarding the changes and ask that the changes be made prior to sending the proposal to the Council for consideration,provide staff with exact wording(or deletions)that are desired,or table the matter with clear direction to staff to make specific changes that will be reviewed by the Commission at a later date. KEY CONSIDERATIONS The key considerations listed below were identified through the analysis of the project: i. How the Proposal Helps Implement City Goals&Policies Identified in Adopted Plans 2. Zoning Analysis&Best Practices Consideration is How the Proposal Helps Implement City Goals&Policies Identified in Adopted Plans Plan Salt Lake (2015) The citywide general plan, Plan Salt Lake, establishes broad principles and initiatives to help direct decision-making.While it doesn't give any specific direction related to monument signs, it supports efforts to grow the industrial areas of the city in a way that enhances the public realm: Transportation&Mobility • Incorporate pedestrian oriented elements, including street trees,pedestrian scale lighting,signage, and embedded art, into our rights-of-way and transportation networks. Beautiful City • Support and encourage architecture, development, and infrastructure that: o Is people focused; o Responds to its surrounding context and enhances the public realm. Economy • Support the growth of the industrial areas of the City. Urban Design Element(ic)c)o) The Salt Lake City Urban Design Element is a long-range planning document that articulates the city's urban design goals. The plan includes some strategies and policies related to signs, as well as several recommendations that are specific to industrial development: • "Signage throughout the commercial/industrial areas need not be overpowering." • "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 after thought." PLNPCM2023-00970 3 April 24,2024 Consideration 2:Zoning Analysis&Best Practices Monument Signs in Neighboring Municipalities Staff reviewed the sign codes of several nearby communities to assess whether the proposed distance and separation standards were appropriate.While many cities limit monument signs in manufacturing zones to one per street frontage, there are several nearby examples that allow multiple monument signs: West Valley City 1t-.4 104.Monument Signs. Separation.Monument signs shall generally maintain a loo foot separation from all other signs... Number.Monument signs shall be limited to one monument sign per 200 feet of frontage. Properties that have more than one frontage may have at least one sign per frontage if there is a cumulative total of Zoo feet offrontage or at least loo feet offrontage per streetfrontage, whichever is greater; MMana 19.52.o7o Allowed Signs:In non-residential zones:One(1)sign per 300 ft.of street frontage. South Salt Lake 17.o8.33 —Commercial and Industrial Districts. B. There may be any number of attached or Detached Signs provided their total does not exceed the maximum square footage of SignArea allowed for the type of Sign and the location unless a special exception is granted for unusual circumstances. Monument Signs in Salt Lake City Monument signs are limited to one per street frontage in all areas of the city, except at the Delta Center and potentially the Salt Palace, if a proposed sign overlay is approved by the City Council. The sign standards for the Delta Center allow five monument signs per street frontage. The Salt Palace sign overlay, if adopted,would allow up to five monument signs per city block.

BW ;PMS � STAFF RECOMMENDATION The proposed ordinance amendments have been reviewed against the Zoning Amendment consideration criteria in Attachment D.The proposed amendment implements professional best practices, does not conflict with other applicable State or City Code, and aligns with the City's zoning purposes. The proposed amendment also furthers the purpose of the city's policies and goals,including those in the applicable master plans. Due to these considerations, staff is recommending that the Commission forward a favorable recommendation on this request to the City Council. NEXT STEPS The Planning Commission can provide a positive or negative recommendation for the proposed text amendment. The recommendation will be sent to the City Council, who will hold a briefing and additional public hearing on the proposed amendments.The City Council may make modifications to the proposal and approve or decline to approve the proposed amendments. If ultimately approved by the City Council,the changes would be incorporated into the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance,and new development would be required to follow the new regulations.

Any sign not expressly permitted by these regulations is prohibited. A. Sign Regulations for the M-1 And M-2 Manufacturing Districts: 1. Purpose: 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. 2. Applicability: Regulations in subsection A3 of this section shall apply to all lots within the M-1 and M-2 districts. The following information is extracted from the chart labeled Standards for the M-1 and M-2 Districts: Types of Signs Permitted: Monument Maximum Area per Sign Face: 150 square feet Maximum Height: 5 feet at the minimum setback and increases 1 foot for each additional 1 foot of setback for a maximum of 20 feet. Minimum Setback: 5 feet Number of Signs Permitted per Sign Type: 1 per street frontage Proposed Amendment: We propose that Chapter 1A.46.100 be amended to allow businesses in the manufacturing districts with more than 500 feet of frontage to have more than one monument sign per frontage. 8 Premise: 1. Monument signs are permitted in the manufacturing district. 2. We make this proposal in support of the purpose of this section of the zoning ordinance that states that it is "intended to provide for appropriate identification of industrial and manufacturing uses." The manufacturing districts are filled with exceptionally large lots and large buildings. Many have multiple ingresses accessed primarily by large trucks. It is appropriate, therefore, to allow multiple monument signs to identify these businesses with more than 500 feet of frontage. 3. This is a safety issue. Signage needs to be large enough to be visible for trucks to make safe turns into the intended driveways. It is appropriate to have a monument sign at each ingress and/or between ingresses along the same frontage. 4. The manufacturing districts are separated from residential neighborhoods and commercial districts. The additional signs will not disturb the neighbors. 5. We are not proposing any changes to the height or area of monument signs permitted in the manufacturing districts. Conclusion: For safety and appropriate identification of industrial and manufacturing businesses, we ask that you approve amending Zoning Code Chapter 1A.46.100 to allow businesses in the manufacturing districts with more than 500 feet of frontage to have more than one monument sign per frontage. 9 ■ od raoline An Orbia business.

In deciding to amend the zoning text,the City Council should consider the following: i. 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. The proposed amendments are consistent with the goals and policies of the City's plans. The amendments to the zoning code are in-line with the policies found in Plan Salt Lake and the Salt Lake City Urban Design Element,as discussed under Key Consideration#1.The proposed text amendment is intended to support the growth of industrial areas of the city. Reasonable street frontage and separation standards have been proposed to ensure that new signs will be appropriate to their surrounding context.As recommended by the Urban Design Element,the proposal is expected to allow ample opportunities for business to advertise without being overpowering or having a detrimental effect on the community. 2.Whether a proposed text amendment furthers the specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance. 21A.02.020:Purpose and Intent(Zoning Ordinance):This proposal is intended to allow additional signs in certain districts in a way that does not create confusion or cause congestion on city streets. This is in line with the purposes of the zoning ordinance to lessen congestion,protect the tax base, and foster the City's industrial development. 21A.20.o1o.A: Statement of Intent (Manufacturing Districts): The proposed text amendment is consistent with the stated purpose of the Manufacturing Districts"to improve the design quality of industrial areas; and to help implement adopted plans." As previously discussed, reasonable standards have been proposed to mitigate potential impact on adjacent properties and avoid visual clutter on the City's roadways. 21A.46.o1o:Purpose Statement(Signs):The regulations of the Signs chapter are intended,in part, to allow each individual business to clearly identify itself, while also encouraging sign legibility through the elimination of excessive and confusing sign displays. The proposed standards for monument signs in manufacturing districts will further this intent by allowing a reasonable number of monument signs on each property with appropriate standards to prevent confusion. PLNPCM2023-00910 16 April 24,2024 3. Whether a proposed text amendment is consistent with the purposes and provisions of any applicable overlay zoning districts which may impose additional standards. This factor is not applicable to the proposal. 4. The extent to which a proposed text amendment implements best current, professional practices of urban planning and design. The proposed text amendment was evaluated in comparison to other sign standards in Salt Lake City and best practices from nearby communities. The proposal includes reasonable standards similar to those found in other manufacturing zones throughout the Salt Lake Valley. (Note: This petition was accepted as a complete application by the City on 12128123,prior to the adoption of the new Community Benefit and Tenant Displacement Amendments.)

PLNPCM2023-00970 18 Apri124,2024 ATTACHMENT F: Department Review Comments This proposal was reviewed by the following departments. Any requirement identified by a City Department is required to be complied with. Economic Development: Peter Makowski//Project Manager//peter.makowski(a?slcgov.com Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Economic Development is supportive of this proposed Zoning Text Amendment as it supports the needs of businesses and customers in the M-1 zone. Engineering: ScottWeiler,P.E.//EngineerVII//scott.weileroslegov.com I don't have a reason to provide advice on this so I hope SLC Transportation can provide that from the perspective of traffic safety. Sustainability: Catherine Wyffels//Program Manager//Catherine.wyffels0slcgov.com Sustainability has no comments on this proposed amendment. Transportation:Jena Carver,P.E.//Transportation Engineer//jena.carver(aslcgov.com For the monument signs, I agree that too many signs can be a distraction. I would think either one per entrance plus one additional if they have a large frontage and/or one per 500'would work. I'd be more concerned that they aren't placed on a corner where they might create a pedestrian sight distance problem or to near a driveway. Urban Forestry:Rick Nelson//Urban Forestry Services Coordinator//rick.nelson(&slcgov.com I have concerns that this proposal will ultimately limit my ability to plant trees in the public ROW parkstrips due to limits on how close I can plant to the signage with sight line limitations. Bare minimum, they should be limited to be located only on their private property, and may not be used as a limiting factor for where I can place trees in our public ROW parkstrip. (Note: Monument signs in manufacturing districts must be located on private property with a minimum 5'setback from the property line. Planning confirmed with Forestry that the new standards would not interfere with any park strip requirements.) PLNPCM2023-00910 19 April 24,2024 This page has intentionally been left blank 1.
