I. Reports, Announcements, Legal Counsel Report and Staff Concerns:
J. Public Hearing:
8-10j. Clay Terrace PUD (V-185-02; V-186-02; V-187-02)
Petitioner seeks the following Development Standards Variances:
V-185-02 §25.7.03-03(c)(2)(ii) 128-square-foot real estate sign
V-186-02 §25.7.03-03(d)(2) ten-foot tall real estate sign
V-187-02 §25.7.03-03(h) illuminated real estate sign
The site is located southwest of East 146th Street and US 31. The site is zoned
PUD/Planned Unit Development.
25.07.03-03 Real Estate Signs.
c) MAXIMUM SIGN AREA:
2) Business and Manufacturing Zones - maximum sign face area (both
faces, if applicable):
ii) for a lot greater than five (5) acres in area shall be Thirty-two
(32) square feet.
d) MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF GROUND SIGN:
2) Lot size five (5) acres and over: Eight (8) feet.
h) ILLUMINATION: Not permitted.
Section 25.07.03: Temporary Signs states, “Temporary sign permits can be issued for no
more than one (1) year's duration, but may be renewed, unless otherwise prohibited.” Given the
size of the proposed sign (10 feet tall, 128 square feet in area - four times the area allowed), the
Department recommends that the Board establish a five-year limit on the renewal of the
Temporary Sign Permit, and require that the petitioner return to the Board at that time (no later
than the November 2007 meeting of the BZA) if they wish to extend the approval.
The Department recommends favorable consideration of Docket Nos. V-185-02; V-186-

02; and V-187-02 with the following Condition:

return to the BZA no later than the November 2007 meeting if they wish to renew.
