Request
A request for a 33 foot variance from the minimum 150 foot spacing requirement between two signs, as stated in Section 28-241 (d) to allow two signs to be 117 feet apart.
Executive Summary
The subject property is a 0.88 acre multi-tenant commercial shopping center with 12,200 square feet of tenant space originally constructed in 1985. The applicant states that there are four suites within the building, qualifying the site for a multi-tenant sign. The existing multi-tenant sign was installed years ago on a landscaped island on the corner at a lower height than was permitted. A second sign, a single-tenant sign, was also installed near the entrance into the largest of the suites. The applicant has struggled to keep all of the smaller suites leased and is hoping that by raising the sign to the allowed height, the vacant spaces will be more attractive to tenants. The sign however, is non-conforming because of spacing, with only 117 feet between the two signs on the property. Therefore, the applicant is seeking a 33 foot variance from the minimum 150 foot distance between two signs, to allow the new sign to be installed within the same landscaped area as before.
