The City of Des Moines Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a zoning exception for signage at 2715 Douglas Avenue on a 6-0 vote during its monthly meeting.

The action came on the consent agenda, where city staff recommended approval of the exception for the Mixed Use District. Mel Pins, board chair, asked if any member of the audience opposed the staff recommendation; none spoke. The applicant indicated agreement with staff, saying, "I concur."

Rhonda Cedillo moved to approve the zoning exception as presented, and Marlys Jones seconded the motion. Heather Rowe, participating remotely, joined other board members in voting yes. Pins said, "Motion carries 6 to 0," and told the applicant, "We'll get that copy of the approval to you in about a week. So you wanna wait for that, then you can apply for your sign permit directly." The chair also reminded those present that any approval must be implemented within two years of the board's decision and that appeals must be filed in Polk County District Court within 30 days of the board's decision and order.

The board also approved the minutes of the prior meeting by the same 6-0 tally and adjourned shortly thereafter. No substantive discussion or public opposition to the signage exception was recorded on the consent item.
