Jefferson Board of Zoning Adjustment denies sign variance for Forestdale Boulevard property
Summary
The board denied a request to replace a nonconforming 40-foot pole sign with a 25-foot, 152-square-foot pole sign at a Forestdale Boulevard property (Case A-260001). Staff cited prior denials and distance requirements; the applicant argued the new sign is smaller and needed for visibility.
The Jefferson Board of Zoning Adjustment on Feb. 23, 2026, voted to deny a variance request to replace an existing nonconforming pole sign at a commercial property on Forestdale Boulevard.
Planning staff summarized Case A-260001 and recommended denial, noting the zoning resolution requires a pylon sign to be at least 300 feet from a protected residential area while the existing/sign location is about 140 feet from zoned residential. Staff also said similar requests along the corridor had previously been denied and that granting the request would reverse that precedent.
