FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The Subject Property is located in a C-1, General Commercial zoning
district.
2. The City Zoning Code allows multiple signage for shopping centers
subject to an overall signage plan approved as part of a conditional use permit, and not to
exceed ten percent of the area of the building silhouette, as viewed from the street.
3. The shopping center and the attached grocery store are subject to one
overall sign plan. The signage for the grocery store, plus the freestanding sign for the site
total 862 square feet of area, leaving 787 square feet of sign area for the center.
4. The Applicant proposes to divide its allowable signage up into two
categories of signs as follows:
a. Major tenants: 293 square feet
b. In-line or interior mall tenants: 494 square feet
5. The Applicant proposes to limit the use of window signs on exterior
windows of the shopping center.
6. That the Applicant, as opposed to individual tenants of the shopping
center, will make any applications for temporary signs, pursuant to Section 1201.03
Subd. l l.c.(4) of the Shorewood City Code, as maybe amended. Anew tenant may
apply for a temporary business sign in conjunction with requests for its permanent sign.
CONCLUSIONS
1. That based upon the foregoing, the City Council hereby grants the
Applicant's request for a conditional use permit subject to the following:
a. All signs on the property shall comply with the Applicant's application, set
forth in Exhibit A, attached, and with the requirements of Shorewood' s Zoning Code, as

upon consistency with this conditional use permit.
c. The Applicant may erect "directional" entrance and exit signs and other
traffic control signs as approved by the Shorewood Zoning Administrator.
d. The Applicant proposes to prohibit the use of window signs on exterior
windows of the shopping center, except that each "in-line" tenant may have one window
sign stating the name of the business and "open/closed". No such window signs shall be
allowed on the common mall area windows or doors. Such window signs shall not exceed
four square feet in area, which area shall be included in the tenant's allowable sign area.
e. Any temporary sign permits shall be consistent with the Shorewood City
Code, and will be controlled and applied for by the Applicant, as opposed to individual
tenants of the shopping center. Anew tenant may apply for a temporary business sign in
conjunction with its request for a permanent sign.
f. Lf a conflict exists between this resolution and the applicant's application,
this resolution shall prevail.
2. That the City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to provide a
certified copy of this Resolution for filing with the Hennepin County Recorder or
