Recommendation
A public meeting was held by the Design Commission on December 14, 2021 where Commissioner Fitzgerald moved and Commissioner Eckhardt seconded:
A motion to recommend to the Village Board of Trustees, approval of the following sign variation request for Burger King located at 675 E. Rand Road.
1. A variation from Chapter 30, Section 30-208.b, to allow two 22.2 sf digital drive-through menu boards (one per drive-through lane), where fully electronic menu board signage is not allowed.
2. A variation from Chapter 30, Section 30-208.d.2, to allow two 6.3 sf digital order screens (one per drive-through lane), where 2 sf is the maximum allowed.
This recommendation is subject to compliance with the plans received 10/14/21, Federal, State, and Village Codes, regulations, and policies, and the issuance of all required permits, and the following conditions:
1. Approval of the second set of drive-through signage is contingent upon zoning approval for the second drive-through lane.
2. Per Chapter 30, Section 30-208.e.1, the sound from the speaker on the ordering canopies shall not be audible at or beyond the property line, and the speakers shall be equipped with an adjustable volume control.
3. The digital displays shall comply with all operational standards for electronic signs as set forth in Chapter 30, Section 30-705.h, which includes static displays only (no scrolling, fading, flashing, animation, video, or sound), auto-dimming photocell technology to control brightness to .3 footcandles maximum above ambient lighting conditions, no off-premises advertising, and only permitted to be illuminated during the hours that the business is open.
4. This review deals with architectural design only and should not be construed to be an approval of, or to have any other impact on, any other zoning and/or land use issues or decisions that stem from zoning, building, signage or any other reviews. In addition to the normal technical review, permit drawings will be reviewed for consistency with the Design Commission and any other Commission or Board approval conditions. It is the architect/homeowner/builder’s responsibility to comply with the Design Commission approval and ensure that building permit plans comply with all zoning code, building permit and signage requirements.
