House Investments Capital Markets X, LLC - Signage The applicant seeks the following development standards variance approval: Docket No. 07070026 V Section 25.07.02-09 Number of signs. ~Vill_need additional ~ariance f2!" sig.!!.si2.t f~ing publi~sireet. The site is located at 10250 N. Illinois St. and is zoned B I/Business. Filed by Jim Shinaver of Nelson & Frankenberger for I-louse Investments Capital Markets X, LLC General Info: The applicant is seeking approval for one additional ground sign and for signs to be oriented north, away from Illinois St. For a multi tenant ground floor building, each tenant is allowed one sign per frontage. House Investments only fronts Illinois Street, and the applicant feels a ground sign near the road is needed for greater visibility, due to the tenant signage not facing the road. Analysis: The department feels that an additional sign near Illinois Street will be important for visitors of House Investments to tind the building. The sign meets the size requirements of the Sign Ordinance, as well as the wall signs. Additionally, the wall signs will not be illuminated. This will benefit the neighboring residents to the north. Findings of Fact: Additional sign. 1.) The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, monds, and general welfare of the community because: the proposed change in curb location would be compatible with ongoing improvements to this intersection. 2.) The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will be not affected in a substantially adverse manner because: the proposed change in curb location would be compatible with ongoing improvements to this intersection. 3.) The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in a hardship in the use of the property because: the project could not continue to evolve in the best way possible. Recommendation: The Dept. of Community Services recommends positive consideration of Docket No. 07060026 V after all concerns have been addressed.
