street right of way, requested. The site is located at 12345 Old Meridian St. It is zoned UC/Urban Core. Filed
by Michael Farahan.
Petitioner: Michael Farahan:
We are proposing to install a sign on the side of a wall that’s not facing the street
The sign won’t impede traffic and is necessary due to the diagonal nature of Old Meridian Street
Public Comments: None
Department Report: Angie Conn
There are currently three existing signs on the site; two wall signs and one ground sign.
The City’s Sign Permit Officer will not issue a sign permit until the existing ground sign is brought up to
compliance by adding a masonry base and landscaping. Michael Farahan: That has been updated and I have
photos. We are leasing as a co-tenant from John Kirk furniture. The additional sign will help our customers
locate us.
Staff recommends positive consideration of the variance request
Board Comments: Kent Broach
Is Staff working with a third party to create a sign criteria packet for this site? Angie Conn: Yes, the property
owner has come through to secure a sign package, so as it develops there’s a cohesive design for the entire site.
