Site Plan Review <br /> <br />The Applicant is proposing to construct wall signage with a 60-square-foot sign copy area on the <br />western elevation of both Subject Properties. To construct this size of signage, the Applicant is <br />looking for flexibility from the City Code, Chapter 12 – Sign Code through the Site Plan Review <br />process. Adjustments to the requirements and standards for the height, number, type, lighting, <br />area, and/or location of a sign or signs established by this Chapter may be approved with a Site <br />Plan Review or a Planned Unit Development process as described for in Section 1320 and 1355 <br />of the Zoning Code. <br /> <br />Sign District 7, applicable to Subject Properties, allows for wall signage with a maximum sign <br />copy area of 45 square feet. Currently, a 45-square-foot “Delkor” sign is installed on the western <br />elevation of the 4300 Round Lake Road building. No signs are currently installed on the western <br />elevation of the 1987 Gateway Boulevard building.
