A motion to recommend to the Village Board of Trustees, approval of the following sign variation request for Raising Cane's located at 225 E. Palatine Road.
1. A variation from Chapter 30, section 30-402.a Number, to allow two wall signs on the north wall of the building facing Palatine Road, where only one wall sign is allowed.
2. A variation from Chapter 30, section 30-403.a Dimensions, to allow a 67.5 sf wall sign on the north wall of the building facing Palatine Road, where 0 sf is allowed.
3. A variation from Chapter 30, section 30-403.a Dimensions, to allow a 127.2 sf wall sign on the north wall of the building facing Palatine Road, where 0 sf is allowed.
This recommendation is based on the plans received 7/6/22, Federal, State, and Village codes, regulations, and policies, the issuance of all required permits, and the following:
1. That the cladding of the 'Number 1' is considered almost a piece of art and not a sign, but future variation requests for additional signs will not be approved.
2. That the 'One Love Heart' sign shall remain as is, and that it not be changed in the future to a sign with the words 'Raising Cane's'.
3. 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.
