New Public Hearing on Walgreens September 11, 2008
The Zoning Board of Adjustments will hold a public hearing on the first floor of 200 Ross Street in downtown Pittsburgh at 9:20am on Thursday September 11, 2008.
This hearing is to review an application for a variance from the zoneing code regarding signage. The Department of City Planning was unable to actually locate the application in the file, so that could not entirely explain what the request was. However, they took my contact information and promissed to call when the application was complete. It was thought that it was specifically regarding the number of signs permitted per facade (normally only one is permitted) as well as the size of the signs, and a sign wall on the corner of Penn and South Braddock.
Nothing looked particularly out of the ordinary on the signage on the building itself. The sign wall might potentially be a concern with it’s height being about 5′9″ on the plan, though it may be far enough back into the lot to not pose an issue. It is hard to tell for sure, as the plans on file were very small and hard to read.
