Monument signs approved for Pilgrim Road Citgo; canopy signs tabled pending CUP amendment
Summary
The commission approved two monument signs for the Citgo gas station at W156 N9650 Pilgrim Road but tabled the applicant's request to install three canopy-mounted signs because an existing CUP condition prohibits canopy signage; the applicant may seek an amendment to the conditional-use permit to allow canopy signs.
The Germantown Plan Commission approved two monument signs for a Citgo rebranding at the gasoline, convenience and car-wash site at W156 N9650 Pilgrim Road on April 28, and tabled a separate request to add three canopy-mounted signs because the site's current conditional-use permit prohibits canopy signage.
Staff recommended denial of canopy-mounted signage consistent with the CUP condition adopted in 2004, while recommending approval of the two monument signs, subject to three standard conditions to make the sign cabinets fully code compliant.
Why it matters: The site has a long permitting history (permits recorded in 1973, 1994, and 2004), and the canopy-sign condition remains in the current CUP. Approving the monument signs updates branding while preserving the CUP's prior restriction on canopy signage unless the CUP is amended.
Outcome and next steps: The commission approved the two monument signs with staff conditions. Commissioners then voted to table the canopy sign request pending pursuit of a CUP amendment by the owner; staff advised that amendment would require a separate process and public notice.
Ending: Monument signage may proceed after the applicant satisfies the three conditions; canopy signage will be considered only if the owner successfully pursues a conditional-use permit amendment.
