Overview
Background
On October 15,2001 Coborn's Incorporated was granted a Conditional Use Permit to add a
canopy covered drive-up pharmacy window on the northwest corner of the existing
Coborn's store. At that time, no signage was indicated for the west fas:ade of the canopy.
The applicant is requesting this sign to help identify the business as well as to prevent
undesired traffic into the drive-thru. Since the opening of the drive-thru, it has been
mistaken as a photo and/or video drop off area. This is as a result of the current signage on
the west fac;ade of the building that says "1 Hour Photo" and "Video."
They are proposing a 2'-4 ~" x 20' (47.5 square feet) aluminum frame wall sign to be
installed on the west fas:ade of the canopy below the metal scupper.
Analysis
Staff agrees that a sign on the canopy is needed to identify the business from Highway 169
as well as to minimize the confusion of what the drive-thru is for, thus reducing unnecessary
traffic near the store entrance. However, the sign does not meet the sign design standards of
the Hillside Crossing PUD. The agreement states, "Wall signage for each freestanding
building must consist of individual letters." The proposed sign is a single back lit cabinet
sign. The amount of total signage on the building if the sign is approved will not exceed the
amount allowed by the PUD agreement.
Plannin~ Commission Action
There was discussion on how this request differed from a recent request by Cub Foods that
was denied. Cub Foods already had a sign identifying the pharmacy and requested additional
signage that would identify "Cub" not the pharmacy. Coborn's has no signage identifying
the pharmacy at this time and is only proposing the word "Pharmacy".
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request by a 5-1 vote.
Recommendation
Staff and Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the Conditional
Use Permit for additional signage on the west fas:ade of the pharmacy drive thru canopy with
the following condition:
1. THE SIGN WILL CONSIST OF INDIVIDUAL LETTERS.
2. SIGNAGE SHALL BE PLACED AT THE ENDS OF THE CANOPY TO
IDENTIFY THE ENTRANCE AND EXIT OF THE DRIVE-THRU.
