Request
A request for variance from the following "NCD-2" Alta Vista Neighborhood Conservation District design requirements: 1) a three foot variance from the eight foot maximum sign height to allow a sign be eleven feet tall 2) a ten square foot variance from the 15 square foot maximum sign size to allow a 25 square foot sign
Executive Summary
The applicant is requesting to replace the proposed signage on the property. The subject property is a corner lot and has street signage along San Pedro Avenue, identified as an Arterial Type B thoroughfare. The sign design will consist of four cabinets, the lower two being as close as five feet from the ground. The applicant has stated that taller sign heights are common along the corridor and the requested height will provide adequate visibility. The Alta Vista Neighborhood Conservation District imposes sign height and square footage limitations that are stricter than the typical regulations established by Chapter 28. This request is processed as a variance from Chapter 35 "Unified Development Code", not Chapter 28 "Signs and Billboards", because the request seeks to modify the requirements of the Alta Vista Neighborhood Conservation District. The Alta Vista NCD is currently in the process of being revised to update standards which may be outdated, or else in need of clarification. Similar processes are underway in the Mahncke Park NCD, and have already been completed in the Beacon Hill NCD. The signage regulations within the Alta Vista NCD may be visited during this process, as was done with the Beacon Hill NCD.
