Executive Summary:
The applicant is requesting a variance to increase the maximum allowable size for a large multi-building development identification sign.

The property owner must demonstrate that this hardship exists and that granting the variance will not negatively impact the neighborhood. Importantly, variances do not alter what can be built on the property; they only affect the size and placement of structures.
