Loading...
Summary
After a planning committee recommendation, Parma City Council voted to grant an area variance allowing a replacement sign at 5839 Ridge Road that is 4 square feet (2 sq ft larger than code allows) at an ATM canopy; the measure was forwarded from the Planning Committee and confirmed by council.
Parma City Council voted to grant an area variance that will allow Brilliant Electric to replace a sign at the ATM canopy of its property at 5839 Ridge Road with a sign four square feet in area — two square feet larger than the codified limit.
The planning committee read the variance into the record, citing section 1196.07 of the City code for signs in commercial districts, and moved to grant the request. The planning committee’s motion (moved by Councilwoman Schuman and seconded by Councilwoman Wilson in committee) was forwarded to council; at the regular meeting the planning committee report was accepted and Council moved and approved the variance as recommended by the Board of Zoning Appeals and the Planning Committee.
The planning committee materials state the variance was first read into the record on February 17, 2026, and the committee’s action means the matter will be confirmed during the regular council meeting (the council vote approved the recommendation). Council did not record any conditions on the variance in the committee report.
Council President announced the planning committee’s recommendation on the floor and called for a voice vote; the motion carried and the variance was approved.
The council report noted the permanent parcel number for the property as 44801006. The Planning Committee’s memorandum describing the request and the committee’s approval will also be included in the regular council packet for final confirmation and implementation.
