So- see the language in zoning below. Pease Funeral Home had a big wall sign that was visible from the street
-- even with all those awnings. I don't think they can pass the 3-a test in my opinion. So I would say "no" to
the ground sign. They can always apply to ZBA.
In particular instances, upon review by Office of Planning and Development staff, sign site
plan approval for one ground sign, in addition to the wall sign(s) permitted in
§ 350-7.413 above, for each lot frontage of each lot in the Neighborhood Business (NB),
General Business (GB), Entranceway Business (EB) and Central Business (CB) Districts
may be granted, provided that:
(a) Sufficient evidence is presented to show that the structure, the orientation of the
structure, the location or setback of the structure, or the location of establishments in
the structure, especially affecting such structure or establishment, but not generally
affecting the zoning district in which it is located, which restrict the visibility of wall
sign(s) otherwise allowed by this chapter.
(b) Said ground sign shall be located in the same lot as the structure or establishment
being advertised.
(c) Said ground sign shall not exceed a height of 10 feet, nor have a surface area greater
than 80 square feet in the CB, GB or EB District or greater than 20 square feet in the
NB District. Illuminated signs that meet ordinance shall be turned off within half an
hour of close of business. Any applicant seeking a larger sign than specified above or
any applicant denied a permit may apply for a special permit to the Zoning Board of
Appeals in accordance with standard application procedures.
