Brighton sets July 8 public hearing on Brickstone (St. John's) sign amendment
Summary
The Town Board set a July 8 public hearing to consider an incentive-zoning amendment allowing a larger sign for Brickstone (St. John's). The applicant presented a revised, smaller design and has applied to the Architectural Review Board and planning board for concurrent feedback ahead of the public hearing.
The Brighton Town Board on June 10 moved up a signage item and set a July 8, 2026 public hearing to consider an amendment to the incentive zoning approval for Brickstone St. John's that would allow a larger sign than currently permitted.
Bethany Ramsey of SWBR, representing Brickstone St. John's, presented a revised sign design and said the applicant reduced the sign's overall size and height and added a decorative border to reflect surrounding architecture. Ramsey asked the town to amend the incentive-zoning approval so the sign can be installed as revised.
Council member Curado made the motion to set a public hearing for July 8 at 7 p.m.; board members discussed whether the Architectural Review Board (ARB) should provide feedback before the hearing. Town counsel explained town code does not allow the town board to formally refer incentive-zoning amendment requests to other boards before the board acts, though applicants may seek ARB or planning-board feedback independently.
The applicant confirmed they had applied to the ARB and the planning board to obtain feedback during their upcoming meetings; ARB feedback will be part of the public record and may inform revisions before the town board acts at the July hearing. The town board voted to set the public hearing, and the matter will return in July for public comment and a formal vote.
If the town board approves a dimensional modification in July, the sign would still require ARB and planning-board reviews for final design and siting approvals as required under Brighton's multi-step process.
