Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-18-02-169 — MICHAEL PRITCHETT FOR PREMIER EXHIBITION

Request: Variance in the C-2 zoning district with a Tourist Commercial Overlay to allow a total of 280 sq. ft. of sign area in lieu of 100 sq. ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: Staff gave a presentation on the case covering the location, history, and photos. The applicant stated that they have removed 2 of the 3 signs after the previous meeting. They also said that if the case is approved, they will replace the sign with higher quality materials. The BZA noted that the original proposal was much larger and the most affected neighbor approves and benefits from the sign. The BZA felt the applicant went to great lengths to comply with BZA concerns and that 280 s.f. is a significant reduction from 701 s.f. Staff received 1 commentary in favor of the application, and 1 in opposition to the application. There was no opposition at the hearing. The BZA approved the variance.
