Section 1250.02 of the Sign Code allows the property to display one temporary wall sign with a maximum area of 10 square feet for a maximum duration of 30 days per calendar year. 3. Section 1250.02 of the Sign Code allows buildings or parcels with space for lease to have one temporary wall sign up to 25 square feet in size to be displayed until seven days after a building or parcel is fully leased. 4. The applicant has proposed installing one temporary wall sign measuring 240 square feet in area on the south building elevation facing Interstate 694 and one temporary wall sign measuring 198 square feet in area on the north building elevation facing County Road F West. 5. The applicant has proposed displaying the two temporary wall signs from the date a Sign Permit is issued until November 1, 2018. 6. Section 1260 of the Sign Code permits deviation from the Sign Code through the Site Plan Review process. 7. The permitted size of temporary wall signs may limit the owner’s ability to effectively advertise the availability of apartment units for rent given the size of the building and the distance the building is setback from Interstate 694 and County Road F West. 8. The applicant has requested to extend the duration of time that the temporary wall signs can be displayed due to the expected decrease in traffic as a result of the County Road F West reconstruction project. 9. The proposed signs would not be in direct view from residential properties. 10.
