SPECIAL STUDIES COMMITTEE
DEPARTMENT REPORT
June 4, 2002
9. Docket No. 52-02 ADL8; 81. Vincent Hospital - Exterior Signage Plan
The applicant seeks ADLS approval for a comprehensive exterior signage plan for a
medical facility. The site is located at 13500 North Meridian Street. The site is zoned B-
6/Business and is within the US 311Meridian Street Overlay Zone.
Filed by Becky F eigh ofBSA Design for St. Vincent Carmel Hospital.
The applicant is proposing significant modifications to the overall sign plan for the St. Vincent
Cannel Hospital (see information packet distributed with the agenda last week). The plan
illustrates the hierarchy of signage proposed by the applicant to guide the public into and around
the site. There is a consistent design theme carried out across all sign types.
In addition to ADLS approval, the applicant is seeking a number of variances to permit the
signage plan as proposed. The Department is in support of the request for relief from that
Ordinance. The Ordinance is not designed to address the level of way finding and identification
needs associated with facilities such as a hospital campus.
Comments at the Plan Commission meeting on May 21 include the following:
1. Request to see material samples.
2. Request for explanation of the need fOT two ground signs along US Highway 31.
3. Request to incorporate "Emergency" designation back into ground sign along US
Highway 31.
The Department recommends that this item be forwarded back to the full Plan
Commission with a favorable recommendation after all comments and concerns have been
addressed.
