Request
A request for a variance from the provision that prohibits a second electronic message center on the same freestanding sign, as described in Chapter 28 Section 28-241(e)(7)(c).
Executive Summary
The applicant is requesting the variance to allow two digital displays on one freestanding pole sign. According to the San Antonio Code of Ordinances, no more than one (1) two-sided digital display per each freestanding sign structure shall be permitted. Additionally, no more than one (1) two-sided digital display may be permitted for each street frontage for an individual premise. The variance is being requested because the medical facility houses both routine and emergency health services. The two digital displays are proposed to promote both services to the public. One of the electronic message displays will indicate wait times for the Emergency Room and provide immediate updates. According to the applicant, the most efficient manner to promote the routine health care services provided on site is to allow a second digital display.
