Item 7 - SV23-0004 MemoCase No. SV23-0004 S T A F F R E P O R T March 3, 2023 CASE NO: SV23-0004 PROJECT: Sign Variance for XO Marriage EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Pogue Construction, on behalf of XO Marriage, is requesting approval of variances to Sign Ordinance No. 704, as amended, for three attached building signs, a monument sign, a directional sign, and a sculpture/sign for the XO Marriage Center site at 1021 Grace Lane. DETAILS: The applicant is proposing three building signs, all of which require variances for number of signs, sign placement, and maximum letter height. Two of the signs also require a variance for sign area. In addition, the applicant is proposing three ground- mounted signs – one monument sign, one directional sign, and one “sculpture” sign. All three signs require a variance to allow an aluminum structure instead of brick, stone, or masonry material. The monument sign also requires variances for sign width and to allow non-illuminated address numbers and the directional sign requires variances for sign height and area. The “sculpture” sign is not an allowed sign type, however, when compared to a standard monument sign the sculpture requires variances for height, area, and for the exclusion of address numbers.
