Hearing officer approves larger directional signs at Proscenium plaza; petitioner must obtain sign permits
Summary
The hearing officer approved a variance allowing directional signs at the Proscenium plaza up to 12 square feet and 6.5 feet tall; petitioner said prior owner installed the signs and planning staff recommended approval of the complementary design.
The hearing officer approved July 28 a variance allowing directional signs at the Proscenium plaza to exceed the usual limit (12 square feet and about 6.5 feet tall were requested versus local limits of 3 square feet and 3 feet height for directional signs). Derek Miller of Sterling Group, the property manager/owner, said the signs were erected by a prior owner and that the plaza-level directionals need to be larger to remain legible among retail, office and residential uses.
"We had acquired, the Via Prose Neum in that site. There was already current directionals that were in place... those signs that were already installed were not weren't approved for those as so we, essentially are asking for, those to act be approved," Derek Miller said.
Planning staff said the larger signs are complementary to the development design and recommended approval; staff advised the petitioner to proceed to sign permits thereafter. "We do recommend positive consideration of the variance as well as the adoption of the findings of fact," Angie said. The hearing officer approved the variance and noted the petitioner must apply for sign permits and work with the city's sign permit officer.
