The petitions sought permission for wall signage exceeding 200 square feet on the north and south front walls of the building. Planning staff recommended denial, saying the applicant had not demonstrated a practical difficulty that would justify larger signage; staff noted the site already contains a legal nonconforming wall sign of approximately 237 square feet.

The board debated visibility and the practical effects of trees and setbacks. Several board members said that because the building is set back and partly screened from U.S. 31 by trees and a multi-tenant pole sign, the front wall signs would not materially improve visibility from the roadway. One member said the pole sign along US 31 is the primary visible sign and that enlarging wall signs would move the site further out of compliance.

Outcome and technical limits
The board denied the north-elevation request by a 3-2 vote (motion by Mr. King; second by Ms. Peters) and denied the south-elevation request by the same margin. Planning staff told the board that a legal nonconforming sign may remain at its current size so long as it is not altered; any structural change to the sign or replacement would require compliance with the 200-square-foot limit unless the board approves a variance. Staff also said the board could have approved a restriction to keep a replacement sign no larger than the existing 237 square feet if it found a practical difficulty; staff’s recommendation, however, was for denial.

Administrative steps
After the denials, the board voted 5-0 to direct corporation counsel to draft written findings of fact to incorporate the staff report and evidence for adoption at the next meeting.

The approvals cover: reducing mortar masonry to under 50% on the front, side and rear elevations; reducing transparency to under 30% on the front elevation and under 20% on a side elevation; allowing columns to be clad in materials other than stone, brick or stucco; and allowing metal grills on a front elevation. The board voted 5-0 on each variance and directed the corporation counsel to prepare findings of fact reflecting the decisions.

Why it matters: The variances clear the way for a multi-building redevelopment of the Village Greenwood campus that project representatives said is intended to provide new independent living, assisted living and memory-care units and a new commons building with resident amenities. Board conditions aim to keep the rebuild visually compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and to ensure grills that vent underground parking are screened by landscaping at full maturity.

Applicant presentation and staff review
Benjamin Chung, listed on the record as representing AG Architecture, presented the plan and described the project as an effort “to transform Greenwood Village's south presence along US 31” by adding independent-living cottages, a commons building with dining and wellness spaces, and a three-story assisted-living and memory-care building. Chung said the design uses high-quality materials — brick and fiber-cement siding in a residential craftsman style — and that buildings are sited to create courtyard-style shared greens.

Planning staff told the board they had recommended approval with conditions. The staff report required that final plans “substantially conform to the building elevations depicted in Exhibit D.” For the variance reducing transparency on a side elevation, staff added a second condition requiring foundation plantings along any blank wall. For the request to allow metal grills on the front elevation, staff required that landscaping at full maturity completely screen all grills; the report noted the grills ventilate carbon monoxide from underground parking.

Board action and next steps
The board first admitted all evidence into the record, including notices, maps, photographs, the staff report and testimony. Each variance motion included the staff’s conditions; all motions passed unanimously (5-0). The board then voted 5-0 to direct the corporation counsel to draft findings of fact incorporating the staff report and submitted evidence. The chair said final action will be taken at the board’s next meeting in two weeks and that the applicant is welcome to work with staff prior to that appearance but is not required to attend.

What the approvals do and do not authorize
The board’s approvals were conditioned on conformance to the submitted exhibits and landscaping requirements; they do not waive the requirement that the final construction substantially match Exhibit D or the landscaping conditions specified in the staff report. The board’s order to draft findings is the administrative step that produces the written decision for adoption at the next meeting.
