Sylvania architectural board approves four commercial sign updates, including ProMedica directional sign
Summary
The Board of Architectural Review on Aug. 13 approved four regulated-sign applications: a replacement pylon for Glam Salon & Spa, a directional/wayfinding sign for ProMedica Flower Hospital tied to a new entrance, a Kroger rebranding package and face replacements for the Toledo Center for Eating Disorders.
The City of Sylvania Board of Architectural Review approved four regulated-sign applications during its Aug. 13 meeting, clearing replacement and updated signage for Glam Salon & Spa, ProMedica Flower Hospital, Kroger and the Toledo Center for Eating Disorders.
The approvals covered: regulated sign application 19-2025 (Glam Salon & Spa, replacement pylon sign at 5834 Monroe Street); 20-2025 (ProMedica Flower Hospital, replacement directional/wayfinding sign tied to a new north entrance); 21-2025 (Kroger, branding update at 7545 W. Sylvania Avenue); and 22-2025 (Toledo Center for Eating Disorders, face replacement on an existing monument sign). The board recorded motions to approve each application as submitted and the chair announced the approvals on the record.
Tim Burns, city of Sylvania zoning administrator, told the board the ProMedica directional sign met zoning requirements. "There are no objections from the zoning department; that meets the zoning code," Burns said. Ryan Wishaw of Toledo Sign Company said the ProMedica sign is a replacement to align with new ProMedica brand standards and to aid wayfinding at the hospital's new entrance: "the new sign will meet the new ProMedica brand standards as the old sign is just a legacy sign." Joe Shaw, city staff, clarified the related traffic change: "the new, the new drive, the new signalized intersection will line up directly with Ravine... it misses the pond. No impact to the pond. It would stay."
Kroger's update was presented by Kyle Inbody of SignVision as a standard graphic update mirroring statewide rebranding where jurisdictions allow it; Burns said the Kroger package met sign-code requirements. Dylan Patterson of FASTSIGNS confirmed the Toledo Center for Eating Disorders project is a direct face replacement on an existing monument sign.
Board members discussed size and visual impact for the ProMedica directional sign; Burns said the hospital's campus and safety needs make the sign larger than typical directional signage but that staff worked to downsize it from the existing condition.
The board approved each application by motion and voice vote. The meeting record shows the approvals were made as submitted; individual roll-call tallies for each motion were not specified in the transcript excerpts.
Applicants and sign companies were advised to proceed with permitting and to work with city staff on final construction and installation details.
