37 <br /> • 24 wall signs (presuming 1 sign for a single building on the 24 <br /> separate parcels) totaling 1,536 sq.ft. of sign area. <br /> The Narrative would have to `demonstrate' how the proposed signage for <br /> the Project would be consistent with the overall development potential of <br /> this 104 acres of O/R M zoned property if you were dealing with multiple, <br /> individual parcels. <br /> As a general observation staff is concerned over the proposed 100 ft. free <br /> standing sign for in Development Area 1 (i.e. Buc-ee's Travel center) and <br /> recommends a maximum height limit of 60 ft. for the proposed sign. This <br /> recommendation takes into consideration this site is higher elevation than <br /> surrounding properties and the Interstate. <br /> With respect to flags, staff recommends a maximum of 3 flags be allowed <br /> per individual development area, with a size limit of 24 sq.ft. per flag, <br /> consistent with Section 6.12.12 (A) of the UDO. Staff is not comfortable <br /> with the proposal to allow 2 flags each development area comply with the <br /> provision(s) of your proposal as articulated on page 29 of The Narrative. <br /> Staff is not comfortable recommending approval of the proposed standard, <br /> specifically each individual building being allowed to have 2 flags, as this <br /> is inconsistent with the spirit and intent of Section. <br /> Q. LIGHTING: Staff has the following comment(s)/recom mend ation(s): <br /> i. An audit of current lighting levels should be completed and made <br /> part of the Narrative. <br /> This audit will establish the baseline of existing illumination in and <br /> around the Property, most notably along the Interstate service road, <br /> allowing for a determination as to how much light already exists in <br /> the area. <br /> Once the results of this audit are available, staff would have no <br /> problem recommending a condition for Development Area 1 (i.e. <br /> Buc-ee's Travel center) that: there shall be no net increase in <br /> existing foot-candle/lumen levels along the southern property line <br /> adjacent to the Interstate service road with development in <br /> Development Area 1 of the Project. <br /> ii. Staff has no concerns over the proposed maximum pole height of <br /> 36 ft. <br /> iii. Staff agrees with the recommended condition that all fixtures shall <br /> be full-cut off design consistent with Section 6.11.6 of the UDO. <br /> iv. If the location of outdoor lighting fixtures is known, a formal lighting <br /> plan is required to be submitted as part of the MPD-CZ application <br /> (refer to Section 6.11.5 (B) of the UDO). If not, please add <br /> language indicating same within the Narrative. <br /> v. Staff recommends the applicant add language to the narrative <br /> indicating all security lights shall abide by the requirements of <br /> Section 6.11.3 (J) of the UDO. <br /> 15 <br />
