Applicant withdraws Rock Gym signage packet for revision after board requests clearer photos and in-situ renderings
Summary
Rock Gym/Climbing facility’s signage application (PLZBA 20250023) was voluntarily tabled for resubmission; the board asked for accurate in-place renderings, a clearer night view and documentation that the proposed sign locations match the building shown in submissions.
The board accepted a voluntary request to table a signage variance for the climbing gym at 547 River Street (PLZBA 20250023) after staff and commissioners identified inconsistencies between the submitted graphics and the actual building elevations.
Applicants from Vital Signing Graphics and First Columbia presented two proposed illuminated signs — one above a rear entrance that faces the Hudson River and a second mounted on a stair tower — and provided a preliminary night view. Board members and staff asked for clearer, in-situ renderings showing the sign locations on the actual rock-gym elevations and requested more detail about the channel-letter illumination and how it would appear from nearby vantage points, including River Street and the river itself.
DOT involvement was noted where signage would sit in or near the state right-of-way. The applicant voluntarily withdrew the current packet and agreed to resubmit with accurate photos, night renderings and DOT correspondence.
Outcome: Application voluntarily tabled for resubmission; no vote on merits.
