(8)Written Explanations (a)Granting the variance is necessitated by the peculiar physical conditions not ordinarily found in most districts,because of the peculiarity of a business,or as a result of a special event or circumstance. Requesting replacement of the existing Illuminated sign with the same size lettering and logo height as was approved for HFS Federal Credit Union in 2011 by the Building Department and KVDC Planning Department. Proposed sign will have new rebranding and same 16" size lettering and 22" logo. The sign footprint will be less than half the size of the existing sign in sq. ft. and in width.This will be a non-illuminated sign. Requesting exception to Chapter 3 sign codes 3-58(c)for 9" lettering and logo size. (b)Granting the variance will not adversely affect the rights of adjacent property owners or tenants. Replacing our existing sign with similar or smaller dimensions will have no adverse effect on the adjacent properties. The parallel businesses in the shopping center have signs that are similar or larger in size. For example, Sally has 24" lettering and Baile has 35" logo, which are much larger than our proposed sign. (c)Granting the variance will not unreasonably violate the interest, safety,convenience, or general welfare of the public. The community is used to seeing HFS for some time now and is a benefit to use the same size lettering to help the public in wayfinding. Proposed new sign will be non-illuminated reducing the light pollution in the area.
