Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-15-12-110 — OUTFRONT MEDIA, LLC

Request: Variances in the C-2 zoning district to modify existing non-conforming billboard as follows: 1) To reduce copy area from 672 sq. ft. to 378 sq. ft. 2) To allow billboard to remain at 49 ft. in height in lieu of 40 ft. 3) To convert 1 side of billboard to digital; and 4) To allow billboard to remain 193 ft. from residential zoning to the north in lieu of 200 ft. (Note: Applicant proposes to alter an existing V-shaped (two faced) billboard by reducing its copy area and making the easterly facing copy area an electronic message center.)

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The applicant proposes minor changes to the existing billboard. They have agreed to reduce the copy area by 45%. However, they want to maintain the existing height of 49 ft. due to the nearby E. Colonial Dr. flyover. They also want to digitalize the eastern side of the board. The western side will not be digitalized. Staff gave a brief presentation outlining the request and the conditions of approval. The BZA concluded the request was reasonable and approved the request. There was no opposition.
