Location: 1515 Delhi St., Suite 100 Description: To amend the Westmark PUD to allow secondary signs to be internally illuminated. Dear Mayor and City Council Members: The City of Dubuque Zoning Advisory Commission has reviewed the above -cited request. The application, staff report and related materials are attached for your review. Discussion Because of his association with the project, Commissioner Norton recused himself from the discussion. Pat Norton, Buesing and Associates, 1212 Locust Street, spoke on behalf of the applicant. He said that the primary reason for the request was to be able to provide highly visible wayfinding for patrons, primarily during the winter months when it gets darker earlier. He stated that he did not know why the Planned Unit Development (PUD) restricted illumination for Secondary Signs and that the applicant is seeking to modify the PUD to allow for internally illuminated signage. There were no public comments at the meeting. Staff summarized a phone call from a neighboring resident who stated they were generally in opposition to the project along with the construction along the Northwest Arterial. Staff detailed the staff report noting that the proposed amendment would allow illuminated signage throughout the PUD and that the request was coming specifically from the developers for the Grand River Medical Group. Staff provided an overview of the PUD area and noted there are multiple tenants within the area. Staff outlined that secondary signs are intended to provide directional signage for safe and efficient flow of traffic, identification of entrances and identification of parking and handicapped spaces. Staff noted the Grand River Medical Group desires to have the signage lit during the evening hours especially in the shorter winter months. Service People Integrity Responsibility Innovation Teamwork The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Page 2 The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the project and questioned how many signs would be impacted and staff clarified that it would be two signs for the Grand River Medical Group property, however the PUD does not limit the number of Secondary Signs and other properties within the PUD area could choose to install illuminated signs in the future. The Commission further discussed the different between primary and secondary signs, the hours of operation for the illuminated signs and how internally illuminated signs are a better solution than externally illuminated. Staff noted that Secondary Signs have the same intent as Directional Signs allowed within the Unified Development Code and that the Directional Signs are allowed to be illuminated in our code. Recommendation By a vote of 4 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council approve the request. A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.

The current PUD Ordinance 34-21 allows for Secondary Signs and allows for illuminated Development Signs and Primary Signs, but it does not allow for Secondary Signs to be illuminated. BACKGROUND The Westmark PUD was established in 1991 and encompasses five parcels of land located on the southwest corner of the Northwest Arterial and Pennsylvania Avenue. Four of the parcels are fully developed with large commercial buildings that are home to tenants such as the Great River Learning, Kendall Hunt, Westmark Development Corporation, Westside Occupational Health, UnityPoint Health -Finley Hospital, and Horizon Management Services. The fifth parcel is nearing completion of the development of a three-story commercial building that will be occupied by Grand River Medical Group (GRMG) and Hartig Drug. Memo to Zoning Advisory Commission Page 2 DISCUSSION The applicant is seeking to allow Secondary Signs in the Westmark PUD to be internally illuminated. The Westmark PUD was established by Ordinance 41-91 in 1991 and amended last year in Ordinance 34-21 to allow a drive -through pharmacy for the GRMG clinic. The PUD ordinance defines Secondary Signs as follows: • Directional messages necessary for the safe and efficient flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic on the lot. • Identification of visitor entrances to the building, shipping, and receiving docks, and other delivery points. • Identification of assigned parking spaces and handicapped accessibility. • Temporary announcements of pending or new construction. • Commemorative messages. The PUD ordinance regulates Secondary Signs as follows: • No maximum number of Secondary Signs is established. • No maximum cumulative area is established for Secondary Signs; however, no single permanent Secondary Sign shall exceed six (6) square feet in area. • Primary and Secondary Signs may be mounted on exterior walls of buildings or may be free-standing. • Secondary Signs may be located anywhere on the lot and any building fagade. • Free-standing Secondary Signs and their supporting structure(s) shall not be higher than five (5) feet above adjacent ground level. Building mounted secondary signs shall not be higher than eight feet above the ground level at the building. • Secondary Signs shall not be illuminated.' • No signs may include any device or means, mechanical, electrical, or natural, which shall cause any motion of the sign panel or any part thereof. No flashing lights or changing colors shall be allowed. The intent of Secondary Signs is similar to that of the Directional Signs allowed by the Unified Development Code. The purpose, number, size, and type are all similar. They differ in that the Directional Signs are allowed to be internally illuminated in all of the City's traditional zoning districts. The sign plan submitted shows directions for Offices, Hartig Drug, and Employees, so there is a need to direct visitors appropriately. The applicant has stated the desire to have internally illuminated Secondary Signs in order to provide clearer signage during the shorter days of the winter months. It may be that the drafters of this PUD ordinance wanted to minimize excess light in the district. However, given that Secondary Signs are small and necessary to provide safe, clear, and appropriate direction for visitors, the allowance of internal illumination for The proposed PUD amendment would modify this regulation. Memo to Zoning Advisory Commission Page 2 these signs would seem to be appropriate for a medical development such as GRMC. Furthermore, internally -illuminated signs have their light source within the sign and only brighten the words and symbols of the sign, so light does not spill onto adjacent surfaces or brighten large areas. Planning staff believes that the proposed amendment to allow internally -illuminated Secondary Signs would not have a substantial impact on development within the Westmark PUD and may improve the ability of visitors to find their destination. RECOMMENDATION City staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the enclosed materials and make a recommendation regarding the amendment to the Westmark PUD to allow internally -illuminated Secondary Signs.
