Sign District 4 allows for walls signs with a sign copy area of no more than 50 square feet. The Applicant is requesting flexibility to allow an additional 127.5 square feet of wall signage to construct the proposed wall sign. As part of the application, the Applicant submitted a lighting plan for the proposed wall sign, showing the foot candles produced by the sign at various distances. The proposed sign would be located 148 feet from the nearest property line. The internally lit channel letters produce 0.12 foot candles of light at 100 feet and 0.05 foot candles of light at 150 feet.
