Bennett, AICP Planning Director SUBJECT: Sign Variance Application for Commercial Building at 129 E. Pine St. - Papa Murphy's/Troy Irving (37 2W 03DD Tax Lot 10100) Summary The applicant, Papa Murphy's, has applied for a Sign Variance to allow a sign for its restaurant in the Downtown Business District to project out over the sidewalk into the public right-of--way a distance of 46 inches. CPMC 15.24.2601imits the distance a sign may project over public property to 36 inches when the clearance between the bottom of the sign and the grade below is between 8 feet 6 inches and 10 feet: The clearance above grade for the proposed Papa Murphy's sign would be 8 feet 10 inches. (Exhibit A) Authority CPMC 15.24.55 states that application and review of a sign variance shall conform to the provisions of CPMC Chapter 1.24, Public Hearing Procedures. This chapter of the municipal code invests the Planning Commission with the authority to review and render a decision on fence variances, caning variances, land partition variances and subdivision variances. It does not specifically mention sign variances. However, the procedure for reviewing sign variances is identical to that for fence variances which are subject to Planning Commission approval. Accordingly, staffhas interpreted CPMC Chapter 1.24 as vesting the Planning Commission with the authority to review and render decisions on sign variances without a public hearing. Findings CPMC 15.24.550 states that a sign variance may be granted where the strict application of the sign chapter would result in unnecessary hardship. The following findings must also be made or deemed not to apply to the requested application: 1. The variance will provide added advantages to the neighborhood or the city; 2. The variance will provide beautification to the neighborhood or the city; 5 3. The variance will provide safety to the neighborhood or the city; 4. The variance will provide protection to the neighborhood or the city; 5. The variance will not have any adverse impacts upon the neighborhood; 6. The variance will utilize property within the intent and purpose of the zone district. The applicant has submitted documentation in support of the required findings. (Exhibit B) Staffconcludes that findings 1, 2, 5 and 6 can be made and that findings 3 and 4 do not apply to this project. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take one of the following actions: 1. Adopt Resolution No. _ and approve the Sign Variance for Papa Murphy's, based on the findings of fact and staff conclusions contained in the record; or 2. Deny the proposed Sign Variance; or 3. Continue the review of the Sign Variance application at the discretion of the Commission. Exhibits A. Proposed Sign for Papa Murphy's. B.

To comply with the signage program of the Papa Murphy's Corporation, the Irivng's are required to install an awning covering the entire front of the business located at 129 E Pine Street. The Papa Murphy's Corporation wants all the stores to carry the same advertising look through out the North West. The corporate awning design has a 10 foot portion that extends 10 inches beyond the city sign code 811otment.(See Drawing) It is our opinion that the awning would meet the city's requirements for a variance as it provides advantages to the neighborhood, such as attracting new and more customers to the downtown area. The awning would substantially improve the looks of the old liquor store. Blaze Signs will install the awning in compliance with any state and city codes to make it structurally safe and sound. It will cause no adverse impact on the city or neighborhood. By allowing the awning to match the corporate image that is advertised nationally Papa Murphy's will have reasonable use of the property and insure it's success within the city of Central Point. We respectfully request that you grant our variance. Sin ely 1 ~ ~, Rick Fielder :mn ~~ A SUBSIDIARY OF C.W. TOWER INDUSTRIES. LTD.
