The specific amendments in the zoning and licensing codes are being drafted and will be available on August 29, 2000, after the next Planning Commission meeting.

In ten more citizen participation districts, the City Council has imposed a temporary moratoriums on billboards pending the outcome of this zoning study. The temporary moratoriums expire shortly after the end of this year. The Planning Commission's recommendations will be considered by the City Council in November. Beside billboards, the Planning Commission also makes recommendations about bus bench advertising.

Public hearing date: Friday, October 6,2000 Time: 8:30 a.m. Place: Room 40 in the basement of the City Hall-Court House, 15 West Kellogg Blvd. Attachment: Draft Advertising Sign Recommendations of the Planning Commission (Mailed 8/15/00) K:\Shared\S ODERHOL\ZONING\adsignspubhrg.not (Draft for Planning Commission public hearing on 10/6/00. Based on the work of the Planning Commission's Advertising Sign Committee in February 2000. Includes minor staff revisions through 8/14/00. Questions should be directed to Larry Soderhoim of the PED staff at 651-266-6575.) Advertising Sign Recommendations of the Planning Commission August 2000 The recommendations are divided into four sections: (A)general City policy; (B)billboard regulations; (C) bus shelter and bus bench advertising; and (D)administration of sign regulations. A. City Policy Statement on Advertising Signs 1. The City of Saint Paul will not permit any new billboards to be erected in the city unless they are put up as replacement billboards in accordance with provisions that will reduce the square feet of billboard space. The City's goal is to reduce the total number of billboards in residential neighborhoods,the river corridor, and historic districts. A policy statement to this effect should be added to the Comprehensive Plan and to the purpose statement for the Sign Chapter of the Zoning Code. Before 1968 Saint Paul had only two regulations for billboards--first,that they could only be in commercial and industrial zones,and second,that they could not be within fifty feet of a park, parkway, church, or school. Their size and spacing along the street were unregulated. Now,the city still has several hundred old billboards that do not conform to the regulations adopted in 1968 and revised in 1975, 1981, and 1988. As stricter regulations were adopted,many of the old billboards,which were legal at the time they were built, became legal nonconforming uses. The City seeks to reduce the number of billboards that now are legally nonconforming and have been so for twenty or thirty years. B. Proposed Changes in Billboard Regulations 2. Prohibit any new billboards in the city except ones that qualify under the removal/replacement provisions contained in recommendations 3 and 4 which follow. The purpose of this recommendation is to cap the number of billboards in the city,and to reduce the square footage of billboards through attrition and through opportunities for billboard companies and billboard land owners to replace existing billboards if they are willing to reduce the total square footage of billboards in the city. 3. Billboards can be removed and replaced if the new billboard meets the following standards: 1 (a) The new billboard is located in a large commercial-industrial area. "Large commercial-industrial districts"are defined as having 1,320 feet(a quarter of a mile, which is two long sides of a standard city block)of continuous commercial and/or industrial zoning along one side of freeways or along both sides of surface-level arterial streets. See Map A. (b) The new billboard is more than 50 feet from residentially zoned property measured radially and more than 330 feet from a residential zoning district,house of worship, school,park, recreation center,or parkway,measured lineally along the street that the billboard faces. (c) The new billboard meets the standards for size,height,and spacing from other billboards in the Zoning Code. (Size: 350 square feet on surface streets, 700 square feet on freeways. Height: 37.5 feet above the roadway. Spacing along the same side of the road: 660 feet apart on surface streets, 1000 feet apart on freeways.) (d) In addition to the billboard being removed,the entity putting up the new sign has removed all existing billboards it owns or controls,directly or indirectly,in residential neighborhoods,the river corridor, and historic districts. PED Staff Alternative:Staff recommends that the 3:1 square foot trade-down provision (billboard credits)as recommended in 1998 by the Legislative Advisory Committee on Advertising Signs (LACAS)should also be considered in conjunction with paragraph "d"or as an alternative. Either all, or almost all, of the billboards in the targeted take- down areas in "d"are owned by Eller Media Co. DeLite Outdoor, which is the other major billboard company in the Saint Paul market, may have no boards in the targeted areas. Staff thinks that all billboard companies should be involved in the reduction of billboard square footage. This could be accomplished by using the 3:1 tradedown in conjunction with the targeted area takedowns. The CityAttorney's Office wants to consider further the legal equities of paragraph "d,"which might take the City staff back to the LACAS recommendion of the 3:1 tradedown provision as an alternative to (V. " 4. A billboard located in a large commercial-industrial zoning district or on a federal or state highway may be removed and replaced by a similar billboard owned by a different company provided that: (a)the size,height,material,and method of construction are not changed; (b) the new billboard company and landowner agree in writing to remove the billboard permanently within 15 years; and(c)the new billboard company has fully removed all billboards it owns or controls,directly or indirectly,in residential neighborhoods,the river corridor,and historic districts. The City staff issuing the building permit shall impose conditions on it to ensure that the new billboard is substantially the same as the one taken down. 5. The City should review all existing billboards located in residential neighborhoods,in the river corridor,and in historic districts to determine whether any billboard constitutes a 2 Pd H iPW `+ '�ryrytuu Hriln. • , Lii 1 1 dr % iCPrid.:Eingr.-- /PP. �..iii Rea a �2 It 'r•::>- >Nii i:: ::,<:::r>:;s: ` V4 ........s,...41414 6 rC-4‘1 Ae WO'S I rl'N-Nre.— al • tP141 % .^-. wis ...:. ,,,,- f5 A I g 't AI' . .:':::...''::''ij''':::.;.:11StiOr 4:;•4'i//- w w 4 di ,A t . e a % island / )Ailii, :::: : • f>;; .. r uopet93 \....,4.11‘ v•i, \._,-,1 :iff 9119)129 1 (Z, AC ..

This is enough to hire a technical staff person in LIEP with fringe benefits and some administrative overhead.) The following fees are charged by selected municipalities in the metro area(1999 figures) • Bloomington $100 per sign Crystal $55 -$ 96 per sign,depending on location Lakeville $ 50 per sign face,plus$25 per sign if illuminated • Lino Lakes $50-$165 per sign based on value of permit when originally issued Minneapolis $20 for signs over 300 square feet St. Louis Park $115 per sign Spring Lake Park $100 per single-faced sign; $150 per double-faced sign MNDOT $ 75 per sign (LIEP staff are doing a more careful analysis of the work that is required for sign administration and enforcement, so this proposal is subject to further development.) 19. The City should identify and order removal of all illegal billboards; such billboards should not be legalized through granting variances or making physical alterations. This recommendation was made by LACAS and is supported by the Planning Commission. (LACAS went on to recommend recovery by the City of income generated by illegal billboards. The Planning Commission supports this proposal in spirit but does not see how it would be achieved.) 20. The City should strictly enforce its ordinances and regulations on advertising signs. This recommendation was made by LACAS and is supported by the Planning Commission. 21. The issue of advertising signs should be revisited five years after the current proposals are acted on by the City Council. This recommendation was made by LACAS and is supported by the Planning Commission. • K:VShared\SODERHOUZONING\bilibperecommendatirnu.dr2 6 MAYORCITYOF NORSTAUL COLEMAN D ROOM 3 CITY HALL ivry PLEASE POST ^w^d ST PA MN 55102 MI% PUBLIC MEETING RAMSEY COMFY, RamseyCounty Charter Commission Monday, October 2, 2000 7:00-9:00 p.m. Como Golf Course Clubhouse 1431 No. Lexington Parkway St. Paul, MN 55113 Input to the Charter Commission by attending meetings or contacting individual members are ways to involve yourself in County government.
