Rear wall sign variance at 140 N. Northwest Highway

AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checked

The Zoning Board of Appeals voted 7–0 to recommend that the City Council approve a major variance (VA-26-12) at 140 N. Northwest Highway allowing an additional wall sign that faces a rear parking lot and is larger than the code's maximum for such a sign. The sign replaces an earlier approved sign on the same elevation. The City Council makes the final decision on major variances; this record does not show that action.
