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.
