Brentwood commission recommends approval of Manchester Road façade and sign plan

The Brentwood Planning and Zoning Commission on Sept. 11 unanimously voted to recommend approval of façade improvements and a comprehensive sign plan for the property listed as 9110 Manchester Road (also addressed as 9116 Manchester Road).

The commission heard from Chris Henson of Bridal Architects, who said the applicant revised the design after earlier feedback: “we took those recommendations back to the owner and we adjusted those, based on what you guys recommended.” Staff and commissioners confirmed key changes included a reduced sign size and removal of a proposed window sign. The motion to recommend approval incorporated the conditions listed in the Sept. 11 staff report (page 4 of 7, items 1–6), including a requirement that the nonconforming pole sign be removed.

The vote was by roll call; the clerk recorded all affirmative votes and the motion passed unanimously. The commission’s recommendation will be presented to the Board of Aldermen at its Sept. 16 meeting. Commissioners thanked the applicant and said they look forward to seeing the proposed exterior improvements implemented on the building.

The staff report referenced by the commission lists technical conditions for construction and signage; the commission’s action was limited to a recommendation and does not itself authorize permits or enforcement. Any building permits, final sign permits or variances remain subject to administrative review and any approvals required from the Board of Aldermen or permitting staff.

A note in the director’s report said the commission will consider additional items at future meetings, including an application from Carvaline for building upgrades (Oct. 9) and a possible text amendment to allowed uses in the MC district; those items were previewed and no decisions were made on them at this meeting.
