In addition to the three freestanding signs, each driveway has a directional sign. Directional signs may be up to four square feet in area. These directional signs appear to be about half the allowable size in area. • They are placed high on light poles located at both driveway entrances. In addition to the existing freestanding signs, there are wall signs on the east side of the building intended to provide identification to customers looking for the parts and service departments and body shop. Another 91 square foot wall sign located on the north facing wall identifies the auto dealership to off-site traffic on Pacific Highway and Hall Boulevard.

This ameAded application does not require a variance approval. The applicant has submitted a revised narrative discussing what is intended and several photographs to illustrate the need for increased sign height for the sign on pacific Highway. 5. agginALS1.4 NPO Comments The State Highway Division has reviewed the proposal and has no objections to it. The Division notes, however, that future improvements, to Pacific Highway between Pfaf fie Street and Commercial Street will impact the Russ Chevrolet site because up to an additional 30 feet of right-of-way on the south side of Pacific Highway may be required to Complete these improvements. The Engineering Department and Building Division have reViewed the proposal and have no objections to it. No other comments have been receiVed. B.

They are: (1) The proposed exception to the height limits in the ry sign visible from the Sign Code is necessary to make the street because of the topography of the site, and/or a conforming building or sign on an adjacent property would limit the view of a sign erected on the site in conformity with Sign Code standards; (2) A second freestanding sign is necessary to adequately identify a business or premises that is oriented towards a primary street but whose main access is from a secondary street; (3) Up to an additional 25 percent of sign area or height may be permitted when it is determined that the increase will not deter from the purpose of this Chapter,. This increase should be judged according to specific needs and circumstances which necessitate additional area to make the legible. increase(s) shall not conflict sufficiently f with any r other non - dimensional y standards or restrictions of the Chapter; (4) The proposed Subsection 10 �114� 13 �tent with � he criteria =� set forth in Sub► (q) this Chapter;. (5) The proposed exception for a second freestanding sign on an interior lot is necessary because all of the following apply: (A) The combined height of both signs shall not exceed 150..,. percent - . �n the same allowed for one nfr ®estandin sign sign height normal. zoning n g ; however, g r sign shall exceed: zonin district h ne�the the height normally allowed in the same toning district; (B) Neither sign will pose a vision clearance problem or will project into the public right -of -- way; (C) Total combined sin area for both ... signs , shall l o exceed 150 percent of what is normall allowed for one freestanding sign in the same zoning district; istract however, neither the height eight n ormally allowed in the same zon i district.

The applicant has demonstrated hat by raising applicant 'existing sign by five feet, visibility of the sign. will improve Because of the minimal increase in height, the Planning Commission finds the proposal to be consistent with the sign code exception criteria and the intent of the sign code. As noted above by the State Highway Division, it is likely that a certain amount of the property frontage will be acquired by the State for street Improvements. This action will probably require the Pacific Highway sign to be moved. pBecause the Because along Pacific Highway shall, be modified as a result of this work, the sign code exception approval for the additional five feet of height should only be valid as long as this sign remains in its current location. The eope the installation previously approved Sign Code Exception (SCE 07-01) nstallation of a second freestanding sign on the site's Hall Boulevard frontage. The Commission finds that Criteria (2) above remains as a valid justification for the second sign on Hall Blvd.. The relocation of the Hall Boulevard service sign does not require sign code exception approval. It does, however, require approval of a sign permit by the Planning Division. C.

At the time, two nonconforming freestanding signs, which have Since been removed i Were located on the property with each on a separate street frontage. Both Of these signs were considerably higher than what the sigh code in eftect at the time would allow. In October, 1086 LuMinite sigh Company received approval of a sign permit to erect 60 equate foot wall sign (P 88-86) which was to have been erected on the north face of the building, That permit was allowed to expire by the applidant and the sign was never erected i In March, 1081 a Sign Permit (8P 9,-,81) was ieSded for a 91 square foot wall sign for the baffle lOcation and the Sign Wad aubaeguently inntalled, in September, 1081 the Planning Commission approved a Sign Code Exception (Sct' 8141) allowing a second freestanding Sign to be iodated TAFF ittisitikt it068 dittttRoligt ,,, SCE 00-0��4/Vi t 00 PAGE 1 • ' on the site's Hall Boulevard frontage. On November 11, 1989 a Sign Permit (SP 89-153) was issued allowing replacement of the Hall Boulevard earvice sign with the "GEO" sign. Instead of replacing the existing sign as agreed, the sign was installed approximately 100 feet north of the existing sign with an orientation to Pacific Highway and the existing sign was not removed. On May 23, 1990 the applicant was sent a notice that the third freestanding sign was in violation of the Community Development Code. The applicant was advised that the sign would have to be removed or he would have to apply for • Sign Code Exception and Variance. This application is made in response to that notice. 3. laginityInformation Properties in all directions but west are zoned and developed as cee (General Commercial). Properties to the west are zoned and developed as CBD (Central Business District). 4. site Information and erogaffilLamerietlen There are currently three freestanding signs on the site, two on Hall Boulevard and one on Pacific Highway. The Pacific Highway frontage sign is 20 feet high and 81 square feet in area. The RUss.Chevrolet Service sign located at the present Hall Boulevard entrance is 14 feet high and 24 square feet in area The recently erected "GEO" sign is 20 feat high and 36 square feet in area In addition to the three freestanding signs; each driveway has a directional sign. Directional signs may be up to four square feet in area. These directional signs appear to be about half the allowable size in area They are placed high on light poles located at both driveway entrances. In addition to the existing freestanding signs, there are wall signs on the east side of the building intended to provide identification to customers looking for the parts and service departmento and body shop. Another 91 square foot wall sign located on the north facing wall identifies the auto dealership to off-site traffic on Pacific Highway and Hall Boulevard. The applidant proposes to 1) increase the height Of the Bien located on Pacific Highway to 30 feet, 2) move the Rube Chevrolet service Olen on Hall Boulevard to a point about 105 feet south of its present location where a new driveway has recently been constructed, and 3) leave the "GEO" sign in its present location on Hall BouleVard with orientation to Pacific Highway.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS sign Code Exception 9 y • ' can p $ r Code contains the Section 18.114.145 °e Planning mPP approve, approve with criteria whereby the g modifications or deny an application for a Sign Code Exception. They are (1) The proposed exception to the height limits in the Sign Code. is necessary to make cessa ma the the sig n visible from the street because of of the site, and /or a conforming building or sign on an topography adjacent property would limit the view of a sign erected on the site in conformity with Sign Code standards; (2) A second freestanding sign is necessary to adequately identify a .business or premises that is oriented towards a, primary street but whose main access is from a secondary street; (3) Up to an permitted when the purpose of specific needs make the sign with any other additional 25 percent of Sign tired or height may y be it is determined that the incr ease w ill not deter from thin Ch p crease should be judged according to and Circumstanced which necessitate additional area to dtafficiently legible. The increade(s) shall not conflict non- dimensional dtandarde or restrictions of the Chapter/ ( ) The propokied sign is co .nsi ®tent with the criteria set forth in Subsection 41841146130(g) of this Chapter /. ... (5) The. proposed exception for a second freestanding sign on an interior lot is necessary because all of the following apply: t(A) The Conned height of both Shall Percent ) oth owed f 'ter one freeatandl.ng g cenn of the sign height nor ally all STAFF REPORT RUSS CHEVROLET - SCE 90-0004/VAR VAR 90 -0022 PAGE 3 the same zoning dietrict; however, neither sign shall exceed the height normally allowed in the same zoning district; (B) Neither sign will pose a vision clearance problem or will project into the public right-of--way; (C) Total combined sign area for both signs shall not exceed 150 percent of what is normally allowed for one freestanding sign in the same zoning district; however, neither shall exceed the height normally allowed in the same zoning district. Criterion (1) may be coneidered satisfied becausse an existing State Highway sign limits the view to eastbound traffic of the main product sign located on the Pacific Highway frontage. However, the dealership .sign was erected after the State Highway sign was in place. Criteria (2) and (5) do not apply because the applicant seeks a third freestanding sign. The previously approved Sign Code Exception (SCE 87- 01) allowed the installation of a second freestanding sign on the site's Hall Boulevard frontage. The request for a third freestanding sign must satisfy the variance criteria below. Criterion (3) does not apply because the applicant requests a AlLmositt increase in the sign height for the main product ,sign located on Pacific Highway; this request must also satisfy the Variance criteria. According to subsection (4) the proposal Must be consistent with the criteria set forth in Subsection 18.114:130(G). This Code section allows an additional 50% sign area (excluding lettering, logos, etc.) and a 25% height increase when "...the sign's visual appeal and overall design quality would b;, served while maintaining the intent and purpose of this chapter...". No evidence has been submitted to illustrate how this proposal is consistent with this standard. Variance Reemet An application for a Variance must satisfy the criteria of Section 18.134.050 listed below: The proposed Variance Will not be Materially detrimental to the purposes of thia title, be in conflict with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan, to any other applicable policies and standards, and to other properties in the same zoning district or vicinity, 2. There are special circumstanced that exist which are peculiar to the lot gaze or shape, topography or other circumstances over Which the applicant has no control, and which are not applicable to other properties in the same zoning diettict; 3. The tide proposed Will be the same as permitted under this title and City dtandards will be maintained to the greatest extent that is reasonably possible while permitting some economic use of the land, 4. Exiting physical and natural eyateme, Such as but not limited to traffic, drainagei dramatic land forme, or parks will not be STAFF REPORT - RUSS CHEVROLET - SCE 90-0064/VAR 90-0022 PAGE 4 f.".• adversely affected any more than would occur if the development were located as specified in the title; and 5. The hardship is not self-imposed and the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. The proposal does not satisfy criterion (1) because the request for a third freestanding sign and a 50 perc.nt increase in sign height is detrimental to the purpose of Title 18 and to other property owners in the vicinity. If approved, the request would set a precedent in conflict with the purpose of the Sign Code and the City's sign amortization program. Briefly, this program represents a decade long effort to bring nonconforming signs, particularly along Pacific Highway, into compliance with the Code after March 20, 1988. As a result of the sign amortization effort, only a few signs remain which are not in conformity with the Code, and these are in the process of being resolved. Special circumstances may exist‘ with respect to the visibility of the main product sign on Pacific Highway. A State Highway Division sign located on the southeast corner of the Pacific Highway - Hall Boulevard interfereo wit ii the view of the sign to eastbound traffic. However, there appear to be other locations on the Pacific Highway frontage that would provide suitable visibility of the freestanding sign from both directions. Criterion (3) is satisfied because the use of the site will, remain the same and (4) id not satisf ied because the addition of a third freestanding sign would ,increase sign clutter along Pacific Highway. The limited visibility of the Pacific Highway sign is in part due to the location bf the previously MentiOned State Highway Division sign but it is a self-imposed hardship because the Pacific Highway. (main product) sign Could be lOcated to allow for better visibility. The hardship is also Self-imposed because the applicant pUrpOsefUlly installed an the "GB04 sign in conflict with a specified condition of the sign permit issued, to allow replacement of an existing Sign iodated on Hall boulevArds Furthermore, the Variance requested is not the minimum Variance whidh would alleviate the hardship. Alternative Solution The staff recommends the combination of the "at& Sign with the ekisting Main Produdt Sign iodated on Pacific Highway with a maximum size per' fade of 70 to 90 square feet, depending the Sign setback as specified by the dOde. Additional height, up tO a 25 percent indreade, could be approved by the CoMMisdion if it is determined that it Is needed for aesthetic pUtPobes or fOr Adequate visibility over the gtate Highway directional eiqn, It appears to the Staff that the combined sign could' be located Where it Would adequately vieible to Pacific highway traffic from either direotitin Without any additional heights STAFF REPORT RUBS diittiRotht gch 9'�O4/it 06,-0022 i,AGE • ' (1,4, ' ' • ••••-•- • • • ••■,• • ••••. • • „ „ • The request to allow the relocation of the Hall Boulevard service sign does not require Sign Code Exception or Variance approval.

Future ISIMESEUMETAA to PESAI2Atighgn The applicant is encouraged to consider the State Highway Division's comments concerning the future improvements to Pacific Highway when planning the site's signage. Planning for the future now could save the expense of relocating signs in the future when up to 30 feet of the site's may be used for the State's improvements. C.

RUBS CHEVROLET GORY 11880 S.W. Pacific Highway Tigard, Oregon 97223 Phone 639 -1166 As you know the Oregon State Hwy division is proposing widening of Pacific Hwy and Hall Blvd. in this area because they recognize the severe traffic problem. It is not my intention to suggest that raising our sign on Pacific Hwy would correct this problem, but it would help. It would help by giving drivers on a congested Hwy more time to change lanes and or to turn into Hall blvd. rather than to slow down on Pacific Hwy to turn into our store. This would be accomplished by increasing visibility of our dealership by proper si na a coming. from the west so that traffic caning to our store would have more time g g to make. proper driving decisions. We at Russ Chevrolet know and realize how impo rtant signcodes are to maintaning anon clutter look to our community. .I feel by increasing the space between our.

In March, 1987 a Sign Permit (SP 39-87) was issued for a 91 square foot wall sign for the same location and the sign was subsequently' installed. In September, 1987 the Planning Commission approved a Sign Code Exception (SCE 87-01) allowing a second freestanding sign to be located on the site's Hall Boulevard frontage. On November 11, 1989 a Sign Permit (Si' 89-153) was issued allowing replacement of the Hall Boulevard service sign with the "GEO" sign. Instead of replacing the existing sign as agreed, the sign was installed approximately 100 feet north of the existing sign with an orientation to Pacific Highway and the existing sign was not removed. On May 23, 1990 the applicant was sent a notice that the third freestanding sign was in violation of the Community Development Code. The applicant was advised that the sign would have to be removed or he would have to apply for a Sign Code Exception and Variance. A sign code exception/variance application was submitted in response to that notice and it included a request to retain the three signs and to increase the height of the Chevrolet sign on Pacific Highway from 20 to 30 feet. A staff report was prepared for a hearing on September i, 1990 which recommended denial of the Variance • application. The applicant asked to table the issue in order to consider other alternatives and to submit a revised proposal. 3.

In addition to the existing freestanding signs, there are wall signs on the east side of the building Ltended to provide identification to customers looking for the parts and service departments and body shop. Another 91 square foot wall sign located on the north facing wall identifies the auto dealership to off-site traffic on Pacific Highway and Hall Boulevard.

This amended application does not require a variance approval. The applicant has submitted a revised narrative (Exhibit A) discussing what is intended and several photographs (Exhibit B) to illustrate the need for increased sign height for the sign on Pacific Highway. 5. Agency aridM)Comments The State Highway Division has reviewed the proposal and has no objections to it The Division notes, however, that future improvements to Pacific Highway between Pfaffle Street and Commercial Street will impact the Russ Chevrolet site because up to an additional 30 feet of right-of-way on the south side of Pacific Highway may be required to complete these improvements.

The applicant has demonstrated that by raising the existing sign by five feet, visibility of the sign will improve. Because of the minimal increase in height, the staff finds the proposal to be consistent with the sign code exception criteria and the intent of the sign code. As noted above by the State Highway Division, it is likely that a certain amount of the property frontage will be acquired by the State for street improvements. This action will probably require the Pacific Highway sign to be moved. Because the visibility along Pacific Highway shall be modified as a result of this work, the sign code exception approval for the additional five feet of height should oylly be valid as long as this sign remains in its current location. The previously approved Sign Code Exception (SCE 87-01) allowed the installation of a second freestanding sign on the site's Hall Boulevard frontage. The staff finds that Criteria (2) above remains as a valid justification for the second sign on Hall Blvd.. The relocation of the Hall Boulevard service sign does not require sign code exception approval. It does, however, require approval of a sign permit by the Planning Division. C. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Sign Code Exception SCE 90- 0004 subject to the following conditions: 1. The °GEO° sign located near the southeast corner of the Pacifid Highway - Hall Boulevard intersection shall be removed within 20 days of the final decision date noted below-.

STAFF CONTACT: Vi Goodwin, Planning Division 639-4171). 3 The height, of the existing freestanding sign located on the Pacific Highway frontage may be increased to a maximum height of 25 feet.

If the freestanding sign on Pacific Highway (Condition 3.) is moved to another location, the maximum allowable height shall revert to 20 feet, unless a new sign code exception approval is granted by the City. 5. A sign permit must be obtained prior to the installation or relocation of any sign. 6. This decision is valid if exercised within 18 months of the final approval date.

Pacific Highway Tigard, Oregon 97223 Phone 639-1166 October 11, 1990 e).(114D et Pt Dear Mr. Liden, In July our Company had reqftested a sign code and varience. This would have allowed a second free standing sign on Hall Blvd. along with an increase in height of our main product sign on Pacific Hwy. After review of your staff report and discussions with yourself it would appear that this varience, though it would have solved our company's sign problems, fell „to .far outside the city sign codes. In reviewing your alternative solution in the staff report you suggested combining the Geo and main product Signs together with an additional height increase of 25 percent. Due to the requirements made on us by Chevrolet Motor Co. the combination of our Geo sign and main product sign is not possible, however it would appear that the additional height increase of 25 percent to our Main product sign would allow proper identification of our location when approaching from the west on Pacific Hwy. As you are aware currantly our main product sign's visibility is restricted as you approach from the west due to a state highway sign and other clutter in the area. Repositioning the sign toward the west would only add to an area that is already over crowded with cross walk, traffic' light poles, telephone poles, wires and street identifacation Signs. Moving the sign toward the east Without a height increase wotld not d°rrect the Problem as You approach from the wet and would also cause some restriction as you approach from the:east.. , Moving .the sigh2,WoUld also be a major expense and with the future improvement to Pacific Hwy. that are proposed by the State Highway Division it is very likely it will be moved again in the future. We WoUld look very favorably on your suggestion to increase our sign height on Pacific Flighway by 25 percent Which you indicated was allowed under the sign cod o ekcePtions. Up to an additional 25 percent of sign area or height may be permitted when it is determined that the indrease Will not deter from the pUrpose of this chapter. This increase should be judged according to specific needs and circumstances necessitate additional area to make the sign sufficiently legible. ° 6 F�tt� N�" SY:r i t i 1 �t u r r e t ,.y i!K?d ._1" . ;�.

Dorothy Adamski, 10950 SW Naeve, Summerfielda was asked to speak regarding her property which would have a driveway onto the emergency access lane. She testified that she was concerned about the ,access to her home by delivery workers, postal workers and automobiles of family members and visiting friends if the only entrance to her driveway was from the emergency drive. There was discussion regarding this private driveway. Mrs. Adamski also asked about access to Summerfield, which would be blocked by option 1. There was further discussion about difficulty enforcing the EMERGENCY VEHICLES ONLY aspect. Commissioner Peterson moved, and Commissioner Saporta seconded, to approve SDR 90 -0004, PDR 90 -0002, and VAR 90-0007 with plan option 1, with a non - remonstrance agreement for a signal at Naeve when it becomes necessary; with street built to minor collector standards; with the emergency a ccess si g ned to read EMERGENCY VEHICLES ONLY; developer to work With staff to determine a way to route the private driveway of the Adamski property opert�, I onto one of the two public streets, and item 4 of the conditions to require developer evel oper to satisfy staff rather than property owners for any relocation of driveways.

Background Information On September 16, 1986 Knauss Chevrolet was told and renamed RUss Chevrolet. At the time, two nonconforming freestanding signs, which have since been removed, were located on the property with each on a separate street frontage. Both of these signs were considerably higher than what the sign code in effect at the time Would allow. In October, 1986 Luminite Sign Company received approVal of a sign permit to erect a 60 square foot Wall sign (SP 88-86) which was to have been erected on the north face of the building. That permit was allowed to expire by the applicant and the sign Wab never erected. In March, 1981 a Sign Permit (SP 39-87) was issued for a 91 sqUare foot wall sign for the same location and the sign was subsequently installed. In September y 1987 the Planning CommisSion approved a Sign Code Exception (SCE 87-01) allowing a second treeStanding sign to be located STAFF REPORT itt088 dftEVAtItitt 8d2 9t004/Vitt 90-0022 PAGE - .,.. `. -: ,5 : •+y 's• ., .i -s L_ N - :. } ._« � ra vL , .. _�. y e , r -4 r . . iS � rr l_ r iE:' ' i t r7 £ t. s rM te rc , s - a .:c_ _ �- : q . .. .• .. c - {:t : ' .. .. • _ �:: . e - .7 -, -: ` s K ;: y - - !e i ' - ? _ W:T t. ... - '« r-R.. _.. _ e.

On November 11, 1989 a Sign Permit (SP 89-153) was issued allowing replacement of the Hall Boulevard service sign with the "GEO" sign. Instead of replacing the existing sign as agreed, the sign was installed approximately 100 feet north of the existing sign with an orientation to Pacific Highway and the existing sign was not removed. On May 23, 1990 the applicant was sent a notice that the third fro :standing sign was in violation of the Community Development Code. The applicant was advised that the sign would have to be removed or he would have to apply for a Sign Code Exception and Variance. This application is made in response to that notice. 3. vicinity Inforsana fan Properties in all directions but west are zoned and developed as C -G (General Commercial). Properties tO the west are coned and developed as CBD (Central Business District). 4. Site Information anal Proposal Description There are currently freestanding signs the site, two on Hall Boulevard and one on Paacific Highway: The Pacific Highway frontage sign is 20 feet high and 81 square feet in area. ,The Russ Chevrolet Service sign located at the present Hall Boulevard entrance is 14 feet fhighigh haand qw area. The recently erected GEO sign is high 24 square fe ®t in and 36 square feet in area. In addition to the three freestanding signs, each driveway has a directional sign. t l signs may be up to four square feet in area. These directional signs appear to be about half the allowable size in area. They are placed high on light poles located at both driveway entranced. In addition to the existing freestanding signs, there are wall signs on the east side of the building intended to provide identification to customers looking for the parts and service departments nd body shop. Another 91 square foot wall sign Located on the north facing wall identified the auto dealership to off -Otte traffic on Pacific Highway and Hall Boulevard. proposes to 1) increase the height of the sign located on The applicant Pacific Hi hway to 30 feet, 2) mo . . . g y P sign on ve the Rues Chevrolet sere c® on aoUth of its resent to Hall Boulevard to a has recentl09 been nstructed, and 3) leave tthe where a new drivewa ° lea �' _ � orientation to GEO sign in its presssnt location an Half.

The Russ Chevrolet service sign is necessary because it is the only GM parts and service facility in the Tigard area. 5. AgencyjingjteLlgomments The State Highway Division has reviewed the proposal and has no objections to it. The Division notes, however, that future improvements to Pacific Highway between Pfaffle Street and Commercial Street will impact the Russ Ch,zvrolet site because up to an additional 30 feat of right-of-way on the south aid. of Pacific Highway may be required to complete these improvements. The .Engineering D.partment and Building Division have reviewed the proposal and h=ve no objections to it. No other comments have been received. B. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS giaDA2493202214-on Section 18.114.145 of Tigard's Community Development Code contains, the criteria whereby the Planning Commission can approve, approve with modifications or deny an application for a Sign Code Exception. They are: (1) The proposed exception to the height limits in the Sign Code is necessary to make the sign visible from the street because of the topography of the site, and/or a conforming building or sign on an adjacent property would limit the view of a sign erected On the site in conformity with Sign Code standards; (2) A Second freestanding sign is necesaary.to adequately identify a business or premises that is oriented towards a primary street bit whose Main access is from a secondary street; (3) Up to an additional '25 percent of sign area or height may be permitted when it is determined that the increase will not deter from the purpose of this chapter. This increase should be judged according to Specific ne.;ds and circumstanced Which necesSitate additional area to make the sign suffidiently legible. The increasie(o) shall not conflict with any other non-dimendional standards or restrictions of the Chapter; (4) The proposed sign is consistent with the driteria set forth in Subsection 18.114.130(g) of this Chapter;. (5) The proposed e*deption for a second freestanding sign on an interior lot is necessary heCaUse all of the following apply: (A) The combined height of both signs shall not exceed 150 perdent of the sign height normally allowed for one freestanding digs in STAFF REPORT - RUSS CHEVROLET SCE 90-0004/VAR 90-0022 PAGE ‘'t 4 ' • , . P, , ,. . the same zoning district; however, neither sign shall exceed the height normally allowed in the same zoning district; (B) Neither sign will pose a vision clearanc= problem or will project into the public right-of-way; 0 (C)j2tal combined sign area for both signs shall not exceed 150 percent of what is.norm=lly allowed for one freestanding =ign in the same zoning district; however, neither shall exceed the height normally allowed in th* same zoning district. a Criterion (1) may be considered satisfied because an existing State Highway sign limits the view to eastbound traffic of the main product sign located on the Pacific Highway frontage. However, the dealership sign was erected after the State Highway sign was in place. Criteria (2) and (5) do not apply because the applicant seeks a third freestanding sign. The previously approved Sign Code Exception (SCE 87- 01) allowed the installation of a second freestanding sign on the site's Hall Boulevard frontage. The request for a third freestanding sign must satisfy the variance criteria below. Criterion (3) does not apply because the applicant requests a Ad.percent increase in the sign height for the main product sign located on Pacific Highway; this request must also satisfy the Variance criteria. According to subsection (4) the proposal must be consistent with the criteria set forth in Subsection 18.114.130(G). This Code section allows an additional 50% sign area (excluding lettering, logos, etc.) and a 25% height increase when "...the sign's visual appeal and overall design quality would be served while maintaining the intent and purpose of this chapter...h. No evidence has been submitted to illuattate how this proposal is consistent with this standard. Variance Requeat. An application for a Variance Must satisfy the criteria of Section 18.134.050 listed below: I. The proposed variance Will not be materially dettimental to the purposes of this title, be in conflict with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan, to any other applicable policiea and standards, and to othet propertied in the same toning district or Vicinity; 2. There are special circumstances that exist which ate peculiar to the lot size or dhatte, topography or Other circumstances over Which. the applicant has no control, and which are not applicable to other properties in the dame zoning distriet; 3. The Use proposed Will be the same as permitted under this title and city standards Will be maintained tO the greatest extent that is reaeoneblY possible while pstmittiso some edOnomid dee Of the land; 4. Existing physical and natural systems, such as but not limited to ttaffic, drainage, dramatic land forme, or parks Will not be STAFF REPORT RUSS CHEVROLET 6. SCE 90-0004/VAR 90-0022 PAGE 4 tA, adversely affected any more than would occur if the development were located as specified in the title; and 5. The hardship is not self - imposed and the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. The propooal does not satisfy criterion (1) becauao the request for a third fr= estanding sign and a 50 percent increase in sign height is detrimental to the purpose of Title 18 and to other property owner in the vicinity. If approved, the request would set a precedent in conflict with the purpose of the Sign Code and the City's sign amortization program. Briefly, this program repreeente a decade long effort to bring nonconforming signs, particularly along Pacific Highway, into compliance with the Code after March 20, 1988. As a result of the sign amortization effort, only a few signs remain which are not in conformity with the Cod:, and these are in the process of being resolved. Special circumstances may exist with respect to the visibility of the main product Sign on Pacific Highway. A State Highway Division sign .located on the southeast corner of the Pacific Highway - Hall Boulevard interferes with the view. of the sign to eastbound traffic. However, there appear to be other locations on the Pacific Highway frontage that would provide suitable visibility of the freestanding sign from both directions. Criterion (3) is satisfied because the uoe of the site will remain the same and (4) is not satisfied because the addition of a third freestanding deign would increase sign clutter along Pacific Highway. The limited visibility of the Pacific Highway sign is in part due to the location of the previously mentioned State Highway Division sign but it 3.s a Self- imposed hardship because the Pacific Highway (main product) sign could be located to allow for better visibility. The hardship is also self- imposed because the applicant purposefully installed an the "GEO" sign in conflict with a specified condition of the sign permit issued to allow replacement of an existing sign located on Hall Boulevard. Furthermore, the Variance requested i.s not the minimum Variance which would alleviate the hardship. Alternative Solution The Staff recommen"0E06 ds the combination of the "�A" sign with the eitiating main product sign Ideated on Pacific Highway with a maxiknum site per face of 70 to 90 square feet, depending the sign setback as sspecified by the Code. Additional height, up to a 25 percent increase, could be approved by the Commission if it is determined that it is needed for aesthetic pp or for adequate that over the State Highway . purposes e 'ate visibi:li directional sigh: It appears to the staff that the combined sign could be located where it would adequately visible to Facific Highway traffic front either direction without any additional height. STAFF REPORT - RO S CHEVROLET SCE 30- 000'4 /VTR 90 -0022 PAGE 5 Cl, The request to allow the relocation of the Hall Boulevard service sign does not require Sign Code Exception or Variance approval. It does, however, require approval of a sign permit by the Planning Division. Future Improvements to Pacific Hightlax The applicant is encouraged to consider the State Highway Division's comments concerning the future improvements to Pacific Highway when planning the site's signage. Planning for the future now could eve the expense of relocating signs in the future when up to 30 feet of the site's may be used for the State's improvements. C.

Dear Ms. Goodwin, On May 23,1990 you wrote to our company and requested that we apply for a sign code exception and variance. This variance would allow for a second free standing sign gn sign. sign s necessity as it is �q �� on Hall. Blvd., our Geo sa. This si is a neces required by the •manufacturer for proper idea if Ica 1on. After careful ful review of the signs s needed for o ur business feel the Tigard Co7munity would be much better ter served'if we were allowed two changes in the current signs at our store. The first Change would be to allow theiGDO sign remain at its present location and to have our to rema 1 : down Blvd. This we feel 1 Chevrolet Service sign approx 105 y Ft south dc�nm Hall three very important benefits: (1) It would allow Russ Chevrolet to maintane proper Produ ct Identification as red by the manufa cturer. (2) Would allow proper sign identification for our Parts, Service and Bod Shop busyness : This is as the z Y only � service very important to Us as well a5 the Tigard Community for that we not onl se Chevrolet cars /trucks but all GM products: We are the only factory authorized GM Parts and Service facility in the Tigard area `3) The third benefit is the most important: By moving the Service sign south approx. 105Ft. doom Hall Blvd, more of our traffic'will be able to enter on the furthest driveway south from Pacific Hwy. This will help in two ways: (1) By moving the number of people stopping on Hall Blvd:. further south of Pacific Hwy which would result in less congestion at the Pacific Hwy and Hall intersection. (2) Also Hall Blvd. turns into one lane as you move south from Pacific Hwy., it is very dangerous to have cars turning left into our store with cars 'coming p heading north on Hall Blvd: By moving the sign South on Hall we should bey able etoa help erelieve some congestion on Hall and increase our ` s y W recently removed an old horse from the customers and other drivers safe.: We have recen loh behind us that would make this move possible: We hope to have that area black topped soon, which we feel improves the whole appearance of that area. The second dhange in our signs is the need to increase the height of our Main Product s cond ign n acific Hwy from 20 Ft: high to 30 �: high. I have enclosed pictures Hall • .. This , . � � .. Pacific a Hwy customers �� you i vd. This causes a real traffic problem for our customers south Other' y w�isshHallw that this sign cannot ,be seen from Pacific Hwy he and other drivers heading East on Pacific Hwy I have enclosed other letters that z have submitted to the city on thier request FkNl,6/T t3 RUSE CHEVROLET G 11880 S.W, Pacific Highway Tigard. Oregon 97223 Phone 639-1166 As you know the Oregon State Hwy division is proposing widening of Pacific Hwy and Hall Blvd. in this area because they recognize the severe traffic problem. It is not my intention to suggest.that raising our sign on Pacific Hwy would correct this problem, but it would help. It would help by giving drivers on a congested Hwy more time to change lanes and or to turn into Hall blvd. rather than to slow down on Pacific Hwy to turn into our store. This would be accomplished by increasing visibility of our dealership by proper signage coming from the west so that traffic coming to our store would have more time to make proper driving decisions. We at Russ Chevrolet po_. 'g to maintaning l�:t knew and realize how �'tant signcodes are a non clutter look to our community. I feel by increasing the space between our Service and GEO sign that this would improve the clutter look along Hall with the traffic improvements. I also very strongly feel that increasing the height of our main Product sign on Pacific Hwy, it would have a very positive effect on•the appearance of this area 8y restricting the height of this sign it.does• just the opposite of what the sign codes intentions are With alithe power lines, road signs,lights and power poles, the appearance is very very cluttered. By increasing the height I feel it would not only help with traffic patterns and improve driving safty but also do what the sign code intended and improve the clutter look that is in that area now. Thank you for your attention to this problem.

Dear M3. Goodwin, On May 23, 1990 you wrote to our company and requested that we apply for a sign code exception and variance. This variance would allow for a second free i standing sign on Hall Blvd., our Geo sign. This sign is a necessity as it is required by the manufacturer for proper identification. After careful review of the signs needed for our business I feel the Tigard Community would be much better g current signs at our store. The first " gn st i its present location and to have sign would bertoaallow the GF.70asien to remain at �; This Russ Chevrolet Service sign approx. 105 Ft. .

I have enclosed other letters that � to heading fast on Paci the city on thier request: As you know Hwy division iZproposing widening of Pacific Hwy and Hall Blvd. in this area because they �e�ogni � the severe traffic problem. It is ntlt my intention to suggest that raising our sign on Pacific Hwy would correct this problem, but it would help. It would help by giving drivers on a congested Hwy more time to change lanes and or to turn into Hall blvd. rather than to slow down on Pacific Hwy tb turn into our store, This would be accomplished by increasing visibility of our dealership by proper signage coming from the west so that traffic coming to our store would have more time to make proper driving decisions. we at Russ Chevrolet know and realize how important signcodes are to maintan.ng a non clutter look to our community. I feel by increasing the space between our Service and GEO sign that this would improve the clutter look along Hall with the traffic improvements. I also very strongly feel that increasing the height of our main Product sign on Pacific Hwy, it would have a very positive effect on the appearance of this area By restricting wy� estricting the height of this sign it,does• just the opposite of what the sign codes intentions are with allthe power lines, road signs,lights and power poles, the appearance is very very cluttered. By increasing the height I feel it would not only help with traffic patterns and improve driving safty but also do what the sign code intended and improve the clutter look that is in that area now. Thank you for your attention to this problem.

Roos General Manager ) RUSS CHEVROLET 11880 S.W. Pacific Highway Tigard, Oregon 97223 Phone 639-1166 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd. Tigard, OR 97223 . • Chevrolet Motor Company has announced a separate line of new cars and trucks called GEO. We at Russ Chevrolet have been given the opportunity to sell and service this new line of small cars. One of the requirements of the GEO franchise is that a Dealer must maintain proper product ident- ification. Therefore it is necessary to install another sign to identify this new product properly. Also our main product 'sign on Pacific Highway was restricted to a height that is just perfectly blocked out by a building to the east and by a direction sign (Metzger-Durham) to the west. This sign cannot be seen in time to allow customers to turn in to Hall Blvd. from Pacific Highway without creating some traffic difficulty fran the customer stop- ping to fast to make the turn into our store from Pacific Highway. At Russ Chevrolet we feel that we have made improvements to enhance the appearance of oUr Dealership and the Tigard community. We feel that it is necessary to increase the height of our main product sign by ten feet and to add another sign on Pacific Highway for our new GEO franchi8e. Signs ,are very important to our business and it would be a substan- tial detriment to our company if this request should not be granted. We would appreciate your immediate attention to this problem. itiUSS•OHEVinOLEti,GEO ti6o0 110Mb., O 97223 STEVE ROOS General Mahaget GE„ Meth) SPeeiriiiii Trader nekihi Cditlat kW truck Ou� Ohone (503) 659.H66 Steve Roos General Manager • •
