Commission backs sign-size variance at Plainfield Pike to replace existing sign
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a dimensional variance to replace an 8x3-foot sign with an 8x4-foot sign at 2050 Plainfield Pike, finding the proposed sign appropriate for the commercial corridor and comparable to neighboring signage.
The Planning Commission on Sept. 2 recommended approval of a dimensional-variance request for a sign at 2050 Plainfield Pike. The applicant sought relief from maximum sign area and related dimensional requirements to replace an existing 8-by-3-foot sign with a new 8-by-4-foot sign.
Why it matters: staff found the proposed sign is consistent with the heavy-business character of the site and comparable to neighboring signage. The commission noted the new sign would replace an existing sign and have minimal streetscape impact.
Staff detailed the relief requested — including an increase in allowed total sign area and slight additional height — and recommended a positive recommendation to the Zoning Board of Review. No members of the public spoke for or against the request. The planning commission approved the positive recommendation by voice vote.
Next steps: the recommendation will be forwarded to the Zoning Board of Review for final consideration and any conditions the Zoning Board imposes.
