| 07/08/2021 | SIGN SITE REVIEW | Hthrall | Approved | RE: unpermitted alterations to nonconforming pole sign AT: 5822 E Speedway / Love Cabaret Sign permit submittal: T21OT00343 - status, "Denied" The subject pole sign is a nonconforming sign, and as such, is regulated by Section 7A.9.1. of the Unified Development Code (UDC) and also 7A.4.1.A.5 permit compliance with technical codes. UDC Section 7A.9.1.c. states, "Except for reasonable repairs and alterations, no nonconforming sign shall be moved, altered, removed and reinstalled, or replaced, unless it is brought into compliance with the requirements of the sign standards..." A permit cannot be issued for the work done to this sign, as the alterations are not reasonable for the following reasons: expanded surface volume (thickness) by adding raised lettering to a prior flat cabinet surface addition of exposed lighting noncompliant with all applicable sections of the Outdoor Lighting Code (OLC) To come into compliance, the pole sign structure may either be removed and a code compliant sign installed via permit review process, or a change of copy and repair permit application may be processed that shows static light source(s) fully enclosed within the existing extents of the sign cabinets and behind flat surfaced panels. The plans submitted for the permit must show compliance with all applicable city technical codes.
