BZA approves 6-foot letter sign for new Bob's Furniture, citing building scale and setback
Summary
The BZA approved variance 260001 allowing 6-foot letters on a Bob's Furniture wall sign at 1025 Veterans Parkway, with members citing the building's large facade and substantial setback (about 344 feet) as factors creating a practical difficulty.
The Board of Zoning Appeals approved variance 260001 to allow up to 6-foot letters on a wall sign for a new Bob's Furniture at 1025 Veterans Parkway. Staff noted the ordinance limits letters to 2 feet (with a possible administrative waiver to 4 feet), while the applicant proposed 6-foot letters to fit the building's façade and address visibility from the roadway.
Jordan Underwood of B Sign Group told the board, "2 foot letters would look pretty puny on that building," and technicians and board members discussed façade dimensions and the 344-foot setback from the road. After weighing precedents and the building's scale, a board member moved to approve the variance on the grounds of practical difficulty; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The board recorded no roll-call vote tallies in the transcript.
