Board of Zoning Appeals

#1738. University Hospital Health System – 3605 Warrensville Center Road:
Public Hearing on the request of Lou Belknap, Agile Signs, on behalf of University Hospital Health System, 3605 Warrensville Center Road, to the Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance to the number of primary signs. The applicant proposes an additional monument sign near the Warrensville Center Road/Chagrin Boulevard intersection to identify the Management Services Building on Warrensville Center Road. The proposed sign would be the fourth primary identification sign on the property. There is already a sign on the building, and monument signs at the main Warrensville Center Road entrance and at the Northfield Road entrance. Code allows 2 primary signs for this property since it fronts on two streets. A variance was approved in 2007 for a third primary sign. The 24 square foot, 4 foot tall monument sign is proposed at the northern end of a University Hospital parking lot that is on land leased from the City. Landscaping similar to the Northfield Road monument sign landscaping is proposed to be installed around this new sign.
