The applicable Historic District is West University. Sign criteria for historic districts are also under 5.8.9.M. B) Understood this proposal entails request for a REPLICA Heritage Landmark Sign. As such, public notice and full review by the T-PCHC- plans review committee is required for examination of HLS designation of the sign.

A temporary revocable easement would be required, with that process to begin only if the HLS proceeds. 7) Sign is along the Sunlink route for the street car lines. Once it is understood how far out from the building the sign would extend, staff will reach out to the Street car line supervisor for dimensional feedback on safety routes. Depending on responses provided, additional review comments may be forthcoming. I may be reached by email at Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov if you have any questions. |
