Avon board grants reduced rear-wall sign variance to new taqueria in Avon Commons
Summary
Ian Benavides of La Ruta del Cilantro Taqueria received a 20 sq. ft. variance for a rear-wall sign at 35516 Detroit Road after the Board declined a full 50 sq. ft. request; the decision reflected limited street visibility and existing monument-sign constraints.
Ian Benavides, representing La Ruta del Cilantro Taqueria at 35516 Detroit Road, asked the Board for an additional 50 square feet of rear-wall signage after the tenant had used 48 of the building’s 50 allowable square feet on the front wall. Benavides said the space sits in a tucked-in cove with limited sightlines from Detroit and Middleton roads and that the landlord’s monument signage did not provide adequate visibility.
Board members pushed back on the requested 100 percent increase to the allowed signage, indicating a 20 square foot variance would be a more reasonable accommodation given prior approvals and the building’s subdivision. The Board adopted a motion to approve a 20 sq. ft. variance for the back wall (vote: AYES all). Benavides said he would work with the City on the approved sign.
