Chick-fil-A, Inc.
PZ-2022-00219
UDO Section 5.39.E.5
Variance request to allow wall signs to obscure architectural details.
Chick-fil-A feels that the proposed wall signs harmonize well with the proposed building façade. The
proposed wall signs have been placed on the brick façade in between architectural details.
The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general
welfare of the community because: the proposed variance would allow sufficient building signage to be
installed on the building façade. Signage will be paramount for the success of the restaurant. The
proposed signage will help notify potential customers along the adjacent roadways of the restaurant’s
location and it will give them plenty of time to make safe maneuvers to enter the restaurant site.
The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in
a substantially adverse manner because: the Chick-fil-A property is located within a commercially
zoned area with similar uses. Chick-fil-A believes that the proposed signage wouldn’t have any impact
on the use and value of the adjacent area.
The strict application of the terms of the Unified Development Ordinance to the property will result in
practical difficulties in the use of the property because: adequate signage will be paramount for the
success of the restaurant. Due to the subject property having multiple roadway frontages, the proposed
signage on the building façade will be essential for notifying motorists of the location.
