Location: 1640 W. Cherry Lane
Applications: Appeal of Director's decision to deny a sign permit for Primerica
Highlight of Proposed Development: Applicant requested permit for an existing Primerica sign
(erected without a permit). That permit was denied for the following reasons:
1. The proposed sign meets the definition of an off-premise sign:
A sign that is not related to the property upon which it is located or to the activity
beinI! conducted thereon.
The sign is located above two separate entrances to two separate tenant spaces that
does not encompass the Primerica business.
2. Per UDC-II-3D-8D:
"Wall Area J} shall mean the wall surface of a single-tenant structure or the
storefront of a multitenant structure.
This is a multitenant structure with separate tenant entrances.
3. Furthermore, under UDC-11-3D-9D3, the Planned Sign Program standards for wall
signs reads:
Wall signs are permitted in any number, location, or orientation, except toward
an adjoining residential property, provided that the total square footage does not
exceed eighteen percent (18%) of the wall face upon which the sign is placed, or
nine percent (9%) of the wall if combined with a freestanding sign on the same
lot.
The proposed sign is over nine percent (9%) of the wall face for the
storefront elevation for Primerica.
