FINDINGS/PZTEXT/3000DV. SV/3200PD . PC/3220CN.US/3220O0N. 99/PET24 . 99
The ownership and official name of the hospital has changed.
All interior and exterior signs are in the process of being
es". modified to reflect the new logo. The applicant is requesting
approval of a master signage plan to identify all proposed
exterior signage on the hospital campus . 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) .
