The size, type and location of the proposed signs are described on the attached sign elevation drawings, sign schedule and sign location plan (reference Exhibit C) . FINDINGS After due notice, as required by law, the Zoning and Subdivision Hearing Board held a public hearing in consideration of Petition 24-99 on May 19, 1999 . The applicant testified at the hearing and presented documentary evidence in support of the application. No objectors appeared at the hearing. No written correspondence has been submitted. The Planning Department has submitted a Conditional Use Review, dated May 13 , 1999 . The Zoning and Subdivision Hearing Board has made the following findings concerning the requested conditional use for a master signage plan: A. Purpose. The purpose for "master signage plans" is to e provide an opportunity for a creative approach to signage which may not conform to all of the provisions of other sections of the sign ordinance . Findings . In addition to identifying the new name and logo of the hospital, the proposed master signage plan is proposed to direct and route visitors and employees to designated parking areas and to different functional areas on the hospital campus . B. Mitigation. No allowable departure from the requirements of the sign ordinance shall be granted unless it has been found that the requested departures are mitigated through an equivalent or more restrictive application of other regulations in the zoning or sign ordinances . Findings. The maximum height for freestanding signs in the CF District is ten feet . The proposed freestanding sign located at the end of Provena Drive is 15 feet in height . This departure from the sign regulations is mitigated with the ' relinquishing of the right to install additional freestanding signs along Lin Lor Drive (seven allowed, one proposed) and Airlite Street (six allowed, three proposed) .
