Buckley council notified of new, larger 'Welcome to Buckley' sign; planning variance required
Summary
A council member briefed the City Council that a new, larger 'Welcome to Buckley' sign will be installed at the southeast corner of Main and SR‑410; staff will seek a planning‑commission variance and post public‑notification signs within 300 feet of the site.
A council member (Committee member, S7) told the Buckley City Council on July 7 that the city will proceed with a larger “Welcome to Buckley” sign at Main Street and SR‑410 but must seek a variance from the planning commission because the sign exceeds current code size.
"You will see some public notification signs there on the Southeast Corner Of Main And 410 just so you're not caught off guard," the council member said, asking colleagues to expect notices and to explain the signs to concerned residents.
Staff said the new sign will sit in the same location as the existing road sign and that the planning process includes public notification within 300 feet. The council noted the variance path through the planning commission and that the commission can grant dimensional variances where appropriate.
What happens next: staff will pursue the variance application and post the required notice. If questions arise from the public, council members were asked to refer residents to planning staff.
