Zoning board allows backlit wall sign for Galena and U.S. Grant Museum at new location
Summary
The board approved a variance to permit a backlit wall sign for the Galena and U.S. Grant Museum at its new location in a residential underlying zone.
The Galena Zoning Board of Appeals voted Oct. 13 to grant a variance permitting a backlit wall sign for the Galena and U.S. Grant Museum at a new location whose underlying zoning is medium-density residential (calendar number 25BDash07).
Board members read a finding of fact concluding the museum met the variance criteria, including that hardship and reasonableness standards were satisfied and that the sign would not injure adjacent properties or conflict with the comprehensive plan. The finding notes the board may impose conditions to protect affected property owners and the intent of the code; none were recorded in the transcript.
The board’s decision allows the museum to install a backlit wall sign where such signage would not normally be permitted in a residential zone. The transcript identifies the applicant as the Galena and U.S. Grant Museum and states the site is in a planned unit development with a medium-density residential underlying zone. No public opposition was recorded in the meeting transcript.
