Neighbors,
We received a request for a variance regarding a sign at City on a Hill Church, see below.

Our usual process is to discuss variance requests with the applicants at an Urban Planning Committee meeting or facilitated meeting, and then decide to support or oppose the request at the Board meeting immediately before the Zoning Hearing Examiner (ZHE) hearing. 

However, in this case we missed that it was a request for a variance. (Usually signs are permit requests that are administrative and don't have hearing.) So, we didn't invite the applicants to a committee meeting, and our next Board meeting will be after the ZHE hearing date (September 16th). We have decided not to take a position on the request. 

If you are interested in learning about the proposed sign, please contact the applicant, and if you are interested in giving input to the ZHE regarding the variance, please see the information on these city web pages: 
Note that the deadline for written evidence is Sept. 10th, or you can speak at the hearing on Zoom on September 16th.

Greg
