Commission approves Tint World service use and large sign adjustment on Lexington Avenue
Summary
The commission unanimously recommended approval of a conditional use permit and site plan to allow a Tint World tenant at 3761 Lexington Avenue and granted a sign standard adjustment that would permit up to 110 additional square feet of wall signage (resulting in 190 sq ft total on the building) subject to conditions.
Senior Planner Elena Fransen presented Planning Case 26-008 seeking a conditional use permit to allow a 3,900-square-foot Tint World service tenant within an existing building at 3761 Lexington Avenue and a site plan sign standard adjustment to permit an additional 110 square feet of wall signage (the building is in Sign District 5 with an 80-square-foot limit). Fransen summarized staff findings that the use is permitted as a conditional use in B-3, parking and circulation can be met, and the applicant requested waiving a traffic study because submitted information showed anticipated traffic would be manageable.
Applicant representatives said visibility from Lexington Avenue and customer wayfinding justified increased signage; Commissioner Nancy Jacobson and others urged signs be placed to maximize visibility adjacent to Lexington Avenue and asked the applicant to pursue east-face signage from the property owner. The Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval with conditions including building and sign permits, parking standards, and site-compliant trash enclosure materials. The record notes the applicant proposes two 55-square-foot wall signs and a pylon sign; the proposed additional wall signage totals 110 square feet above the 80-square-foot building limit, for a potential total of 190 square feet if approved by the property owner and permits.
