ZBA asks Sprouts for contextual sign mockups; signage variance hearing continued to Feb. 19
Summary
Sprouts Farmers Market asked the Greenburgh ZBA for a variance on stacked channel‑letter signage for a 124‑ft facade; the board requested contextual renderings and alternative layouts and adjourned the case to Feb. 19 for further consideration.
The Zoning Board on Jan. 15 reviewed a sign‑variance application from Sprouts Farmers Market for a former Christmas Tree Shops storefront on North Central Avenue. The applicant seeks channel letters stacked as “Sprouts” over “Farmers Market,” with letter heights of about 54 inches and a stacked overall height of 7 feet 2 inches, citing visibility on a wide 124‑foot facade.
Why it matters: The town emphasized visual consistency along the shopping center frontage and asked the applicant to demonstrate how the proposed stacked sign would read in context with adjacent tenants and with the new fascia treatment. Board members said similar approvals in other parts of town had later appeared visually oversized and asked for in‑place mockups or photo‑montages showing alternatives.
Board requests and next steps: The ZBA asked for at least three sign options and contextual renderings: (1) a conforming stacked sign that meets code, (2) the applicant’s preferred stacked design, and (3) a middle‑ground option that reduces the variance. Town staff offered to supply precedent sizes during deliberation. The board adjourned the hearing to Feb. 19, 2026, to allow the applicant to provide materials and for members to review context.
