Zoning Classification: B-5 Overlay Zone: West Homeplace Commercial Corridor
High Intensity
Legal Description: To be uploaded.
Present Use of Property: Mixed use commercial (office (constructed and occupied), indoor recreation and food
service (under construction))
Proposed Use of Property: The building under construction will provide two tenant spaces: pickleball courts and related
facilities on the ground floor; food service on the mezzanine level.
Project Description: Pickle on Penn sign variances
Section of UDO being varied from: UDO Section 5.39(I): Sign facing north (not toward any street frontage) is not
allowed, but 2 signs requested. Asking to permit 4 signs (1 each per tenant (2 tenants) on the west facade and on the
north facade, and to permit signs on a facade that does not face a street (north facade).
Explanation of why variance/waiver is being requested: The signs on the west facade (facing a street) identify where the
businesses are located; the signs on the north facade (facing the parking lot) identify where the building/business
entrances are. The proposed signage is minimal and necessary for business success and will not be injurious to the health,
safety ro general welfare of the community. The propsoed signage will not impact property values for other adjacent
businesses (north, south and west) or for the residential neighborhood to the east because no sign graphic or content will
be oriented to the east. A practical difficulty is established when buildings are similarly situated on a reverse-frontage,
interior parking lot and are regulated differently regarding reasonable signage needs, thereby establishing business
disadvantages for the subject building.
