Sign placement shall not restrict the sight line of vehicles utilizing the access to 200 East Hundred Road. Sign plan subnuttal to VDOT for verification of compliance with the aforementioned items is advised. LAND USE Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for Neighborhood Business use. Area Development Trends: The area is characterized by commercial zoning and land uses along this portion of the East Hundred Road corridor. The Plan anticipates this type of use continuing in the foreseeable future. Zoning HistorX: On September 28, 1983 the Board of Supervisors, upon a recommendation of approval from the Planning Comnssion, approved B-3, now G5, zoning on the subject property and adjacent property to the south. (Case 83 SNO ll 8) On July 25, 2007 the Board of Supervisors, upon a recommendation of approval from the Planning Commission, approved an amendment to Case 83 SNO ll 8, deleting imposed buffer conditions. (Case 07SN0312) Freestanding Project Identification Sign: The subject property, along with adjacent properties to the south and southeast, are considered as one (1) project known as Rivers Bend South II shopping center and identified on Attachment 1. The applicant is requesting an exception to linutations of the ordinance to erect a freestanding project sign that is larger in area. The following chart compares project sign standards of the ordinance with the requested exception. 14SN0~7Ei-20141li L23-BC)S-RPT STANDARDS ORDINANCE PROPOSED ~ DIFFERENCE # OF SIGNS 1 1 0 50 SF 75 SF with Additional 12 5 SF in AREA 62.5 with changeable . changeable copy area copy HEIGHT 15 FT 15 FT 0 *Proffered Condition and Textual Statement -Attachment 2 It should be noted that in addition to a freestanding prof ect identification sign, the ordinance pernuts building mounted signs for individual tenants within the center which also assists in identification. CONCLUSION The Zoning Ordinance provides adequate signage for a project that enables citizens to identify and locate a given business or service. Approval of this request could encourage other businesses to seek sinular exceptions, leading to proliferation of oversized signs. Given these considerations, denial of this request is recommended. CASE HISTORY Planning Commission Meeting (6/17/14): The applicant's representative did not accept staff's recommendation, but did accept the Planning Comnussion's recommendation. Opposition was present, expressing concerns relative to the lack of compliance with ordinance sign standards; and the opport~inity for the use of banners and building- mounted signage facing East Hundred Road. In response to a question from Mr. Patton, the applicant's representative noted that, with the future widening and speed limits along East Hundred Road, tenants need more visibility. In addition, Mr. Patton requested, and the applicant agreed, that the proposed sign height would be reduced from twenty (20) feet to fifteen (15) feet. 4 14SN0~7Ei-20141li L23-BC)S-RPT Dr. Wallin noted that if the development community was concerned with the sign linutations of the ordinance, then consideration could be given to amending the ordinance so as to be fair and equitable to all business owners. On motion of Mr. Patton, seconded by Dr. Brown, the Comnussion recommended approval and acceptance of the proffered condition on page 2. AYES: Messrs. Patton, Brown and Waller. NAYS: Messrs. Wallin and Gulley. Applicant (6/23/14): A revised Textual Statement was subnutted to reduce the sign height. The proffered condition was amended to reflect the revision date of the Textual Statement. The Board of Supervisors, on Wednesday, July 23, 2014 beginning at 6:30 p.m., will take under consideration this request. 14SN0~7Ei-20141li L23-BC)S-RPT 14SN0576 Enon Land Company II, LLC Textual Statement June 23, 2014 Re: Zoning Application Enon Land Company II, LLC to request a Conditional Use Planned Development to request exceptions to ordinance standards relative to signage on Chesterfield County Tax Identification Number 814-652-8334 as set forth hereinbelow. 1.
