Peekskill panel approves freestanding sign for new cannabis dispensary at 807 Washington Street
Summary
The planning commission granted an appeal to add two panels to an existing freestanding sign and a wall sign for a new adult-use cannabis dispensary at 807 Washington Street, citing code compliance and subjecting the work to two staff conditions and SEQR Type II determination.
The planning commission approved a sign appeal to add two panels to an existing freestanding sign and a wall-mounted storefront sign for a new adult-use cannabis dispensary at 807 Washington Street.
The chair identified the applicant as Christopher Calabrese of Peekskill and the owner as Anstead Inc. The staff report and the commission noted that the storefront sign had already been cleared by the building department, and the limited review before the commission was only for the freestanding sign structure at the edge of the parking lot. Applicant representatives asked the commission to allow the replacement panels where a sign had previously stood. "So we just hope that you would, consider that," the applicant representative said.
The commission first deemed the proposal a Type II SEQR action, requiring no further environmental review, then voted to grant the appeal under section 5-68-5(e) of the City of Peekskill sign ordinance. The approval was subject to two conditions from the staff report: the applicant must notify the city's Department of Public Works upon completion for inspection, and the sign attachments and construction must comply with all applicable building-code requirements. A motion to approve the appeal passed with the members present voting in favor.
