BZA denies large signage variances for proposed Midway Road gas station after community objections
Summary
After sustained public comment and board discussion, the BZA denied requests for substantially larger and taller signs — including a proposed 100‑foot pylon and expanded electronic price board — for a proposed gas station at the Midway Road interchange, finding no demonstrated hardship.
The Board of Zoning Appeals denied a package of signage variances for a proposed gas station and convenience store near the Midway Road interstate interchange after community members and the board concluded the applicant had not demonstrated the hardship required to justify such large and tall signs.
Staff summarized eight requests that together sought to increase allowable detached sign height from 35 feet to 100 feet and maximum sign area for a secondary detached sign from 200 square feet to 1,254 square feet; the application also requested a much larger electronic price board and oversized directional signs for truck fueling islands. Staff asked the applicant to address the “minimum adjustment necessary” standard in Article 16.3 e 0.4.
