Greenville Planning Board approves Starbucks sign at Hilton Displays location

Paulding County's Zoning Board of Appeals convened on July 8, 2025, and swiftly approved a signage application for a new Starbucks location, enhancing visibility for customers in a shared parking area. The board unanimously accepted the minutes from the previous meeting before addressing the main agenda item.

The application, presented by Joe Hall of Hilton Displays, sought permission for a five-foot illuminated logo on the east side of the Starbucks building, which faces a parking lot rather than a public road. Hall emphasized that the sign would not disturb nearby residential areas, as it primarily serves to guide customers to the entrance.

After a brief discussion, board members expressed no opposition to the application. A motion to approve the signage was made and seconded, leading to a unanimous vote in favor. The decision is expected to improve customer access and navigation for the Starbucks location at Bill Carruth Parkway and Marietta Highway.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, reflecting the board's efficient handling of the agenda. This approval marks a significant step in enhancing local business visibility and accessibility in Paulding County.
