Analysis
This ordinance establishes the following regulations for type “A” roof signs located in the industrial-mixed zoning district:
1. One type “A” roof sign shall be permitted for each building façade. (Currently, the maximum number of roof signs is one per building. Type “B” roof signs are prohibited.)
2. There shall be no limit on the display area of a type “A” roof sign located more than 100 feet from a residential district. The maximum display area for a type “A” roof sign located within 100 feet of a residential district shall be 100 square feet; a type “A” roof sign larger than 100 square feet may be allowed by special use permit. (Currently, the maximum display area for all type “A” roof signs, regardless of proximity to a residential district, is 50 square feet.)
3. All type “A” roof signs shall be stationary.
Body
Whereas, Currently, there is no limit on the display area of a type “A” roof sign in the industrial-light and industrial-heavy zoning districts, while the display area of a type “A” roof sign in the industrial-mixed zoning district is limited to 50 square feet; and
Whereas, Since the use regulations for the industrial-mixed district are similar to those for the industrial-light districts, it is appropriate for the type “A” roof sign regulations for the industrial-mixed district to more closely resemble the type “A” roof sign regulations for the industrial-light districts; and
Whereas, Because industrial-mixed zoning is often found in close proximity to residential zoning districts, it is appropriate to establish more stringent regulations for type “A” roof signs located within 100 feet of residential districts; now, therefore
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
Part 1. Section 295-805-5-g of the code is renumbered 295-805-5-h.
Part 2. Section 295-805-5-g of the code is created to read:
295-805. Industrial Design Standards.
5. SIGNS.
g. Type “A” Roof Signs in the Industrial-Mixed District. g-1. There shall be no maximum display area for a type “A” roof sign located in an industrial-mixed district more than 100 feet from a residential district.
g-2. The maximum display area for a type “A” roof sign located in an industrial-mixed district within 100 feet of a residential district shall be 100 square feet. If this standard is not met, a type “A” roof sign in an industrial-mixed district shall be a special use.
g-3. All type “A” roof signs shall be stationary.
Part 3. Table 295-805-5 of the code is amended to read:
