Note: The Land Development Code Sign Regulations 25-10-101 General On-Premise signs (B) Signs for Commercial, Multi-Family, Civic and Industrial Uses. Unless specifically limited to a particular use, the following signs are allowed on a site containing any lawfully permitted commercial, multi-family, civic, or industrial use; (1) A freestanding or wall sign, such as those typically used to direct the movement or placement of vehicular or pedestrian traffic, provided that: (a) no more than one sign is allowed for each building or curb cut; (b) sign area may not exceed 12 square feet; and (c) sign height may not exceed: (i) four feet, for a freestanding sign; or (ii) the height of the building façade, for a wall sign.

FINDING: OR, OR, AND, 1.

The granting of this variance will not have a substantially adverse impact upon neighboring properties, because: the sign will be mounted on the wall while also being at the height that will not be reached by any pedestrians and this will not be a lit sign. 3. The granting of this variance will not substantially conflict with the stated purposes of this sign ordinance, because: N/A 4. Granting a variance would not provide the applicant with a special privilege not enjoyed by others similarly situated or potentially similarly situated, because: it will be as an identification factor for an AISD School, which all schools have a signage.
