FROM: Guy Hemenway, Assistant Planner (�
SUBJECT: Warren Plaza Planned Commercial District Sign Amendment
INTRODUCTION
Anchor Sign Company, acting on behalf of Chic-Fil-A, has submitted an application
asking to amend the sign regulations for the Warren Plaza PC Planned Commercial
district to permit a second freestanding sign on the premises.
The Warren Plaza PC district ordinance was initially adopted in1979 and has been
amended several times since. The original ordinance permitted the entire development
including Target, Hy-Vee, Perkins and the multi-tenant commercial buildings that
comprised the plaza to share a single freestanding center sign. Each business is also
allowed wall-mounted signs.
DISCUSSION
There is currently one, 35 foot high, 525 square foot freestanding center sign located at
the northeast corner of Warren Plaza at the intersection of Dodge Street and Wacker
Drive. Target and Hy-Vee share the sign space. The Chic-Fil-A restaurant has
developed a new building that replaced Perkins at the northeast corner of the plaza.
Chic-Fil-A has contended that the Warren Plaza management will not permit any plaza
tenants other than Target and Hy-Vee to share the existing center sign.
Therefore, the request is to place a 6 foot high, 30 square foot, monument style
freestanding sign along the Dodge Street frontage to advertise Chic-Fil-A's location to
vehicular traffic. The proposed sign will be located approximately 80 feet from the
intersection and 65 feet from the existing center sign. The proposed is relatively small
and will be located in a highly commercial corridor and should; therefore, have little
impact on traffic safety or the adjacent commercial properties.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Commission review the criteria established in Section 9-5 and
Section 5-24 regarding rezoning reclassification and planned unit developments.
