PUBLIC HEARING
1) File 704-BA: To consider a request for a Variance to the maximum height and size for signs in
the Urban Corridor from the allowed 20’ in height to 30’6” and 60’, and from the allowed 60
square feet in area to 245 square feet and 244 square feet.
Location: 1655 East Cardinal Drive
Applicant: Tri-Con, Inc.
Adina Ward presented the staff report.
Tri-Con, Inc. is developing Exxpress Mart #28 at 1655 E. Cardinal Drive. The applicant feels the
property is at a topographical disadvantage because of the height of the adjacent Highway 69 overpass,
and their signs will not be visible at the required height. The zoning of this portion of the property is
GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling District), and is located within the Urban
Corridor. Therefore, the maximum sign height allowed is twenty (20) feet with a maximum of sixty
(60) square feet in area.
