CASE NO: SV25-0007
PROJECT: Sian Variance for Buraer Kin
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Fire Restaurants Management LLC is requesting approval of sign variances to Sign
Ordinance No 704-J, as amended, for two signs: a Freestanding Order Sign/Canopy
and a menu board sign at their business located at 125 N Kimball.
DETAILS: The applicant is requesting a variance from the Sign Ordinance to allow two existing
signs to remain in place: a Freestanding Order Sign/Canopy and a menu board.
During staff's review of the property, it was determined that the menu board differs
from what was originally permitted, and that both signs were installed without the
required permits. A variance is required for the Freestanding Order Sign/Canopy
because this type of sign is not permitted under current regulations. Additionally, the
menu board lacks the required masonry surrounding the sign face. Approval of the
variance would allow the applicant to retain both signs in their current condition.
Case No.
