Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Ferrin Signs, agent, requested five sign variances for Memorial Manor & FSER located at 801 South Douglas Road and 777 South Douglas Road. The items were first heard at the December 12, 2025 Planning and Zoning Board Meeting. ZV2025-0018 - ZV2025-0021 were deferred to the January 8, 2026 to allow for the applicant to reevaluate their request. ZV2025-0022 was approved at the December meeting.
The mailed notice and published legal advertisement reflect the original request. Since that time, however, the applicant has submitted the following revised requests to staff reducing the square footage of the monument sign and total signage for the site:
· To allow a maximum 43.57 square foot monument sign instead of the required maximum of 24 square feet for outparcel and freestanding building monument signs for both buildings
· To allow a maximum of 163 total square feet of signage instead of the required maximum 120 total square feet of signage.
· To allow 88 square feet of signage on the primary façade instead of the required maximum of 60 square feet of signage on the primary façade.
Memorial Manor was approved in 1988 through site plan SP88-12. In 2024, the Planning and Zoning Board approved the new Memorial FSER through site plan SP2023-0003. One (1) monument, 5 directional and 3 wall signs meeting code requirements were approved as part of the application. The current proposal reflects an update to the previously approved plan.
Should the variances be approved, the applicant must obtain all applicable building permits.
