SUBJECT: Consider a request for a variance to the minimum setback
requirement for an owner identification sign from 10' to 1.5'
FILE: 593-BA
STAFF REPORT
Suman Bathla has applied for a variance to the minimum setback
requirement for an owner identification sign from 10' to 1.5'. The
property is located at 2305 Calder.
Mr. and Mrs. Bathla are opening a restaurant in an existing building
on the subject property. There was an owner identification sign on
the northeast corner of the property. However, Mr. Bathla states
that the sign was knocked down and broken. That sign was 1.5' off
the property line. The Zoning Ordinance requires that the sign
support be a minimum of 10' from any property line. Since the
existing sign was taken completely down, the new sign must meet the
current setback requirement. Mr. Bathla states that allowing the
new sign at the old sign=s location will be tremendously efficient in
advertising his business.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
