Staff Findings and Analysis

  • The Wawa site is zoned P-D; the retention pond site is zoned A-2
  • The P-D conditions prohibit pole signs and allow ground signs per sign

regulations

  • Signage is based on amount of road frontage
  • Subject site has 245 ft. of road frontage
  • Per sign regulations, the subject site qualifies for 1 ground sign only not

to exceed 120 sq. ft. of copy area

  • Applicant is requesting 2 ground signs at 48 sq. ft. each
  • Retention pond agreement approved by the BCC on 5/5/2015.

Agreement allows WAWA to apply for a sign variance

  • Approval of this request would confer on this applicant a special

privilege that is not conferred to other similarly zoned parcels.

applicant a special privilege not enjoyed by
