Board overturns PZA denial, approves larger U-Haul building signs with conditions
Summary
On April 7 the Board approved a sign-area variance for U-Haul of Mill Creek on County Road 16A, overturning the Planning & Zoning Agency's denial 4-1 and adding conditions including additional landscaping.
The Board considered NZVAR 2025-10, an appeal by U‑Haul of Mill Creek seeking non‑zoning variances to allow advertising display areas larger than the code's 200‑square‑foot per‑building maximum. Attorney James Whitehouse presented for the applicant and agreed to additional landscaping commitments as a condition.
Public comments opposed the appeal, citing community awareness and visual impacts, but the Board voted 4-1 to overturn the PZA denial and grant the variance with eight findings of fact and five conditions, including the record commitment to plant additional vegetation. Commissioner Ann Taylor cast the lone dissenting vote.
