Staff Comments
This is an additional sign to the other signs that were presented and approved by the Board in July (application 7-DT-07-R). The base, C-2, zoning will allow up to 3 times the linear feet of a building for commercial signs. The front façade of this building shows 45 feet so the allowable sign area is 45 feet times 3, equal to 135square feet for the whole building. The sign proposed is larger than the recommended size of hanging signs which the guidelines recommend 6 feet squared, see page 38, 1a. For other sign information see page 26 of the Guidelines.
