Purpose of Appeal

The sign code requires a sign with dynamic display in a B2 district located within 100 feet of a residential use to: 1) Be monochromatic; 2) Have a display message that does not change faster than every 20 minutes. The BZA approved the variances to allow a full color sign with dynamic display and a message display that would not change faster than every 60 seconds at 1200 Rice Street.
