Lehi Dental Center Sign Conditional Use Permit

The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow for an existing monument sign to be upgraded with an electronic display sign (EDS) for Lehi Dental located at 216 East Main Street. Typically EDM signs are not allowed in the Historic District, however the Lehi Hearing Officer granted a variance to allow them to apply for this specific sign due to a change in the Code that impacted them after they had started talking to the City and designing the sign. The applicant was still required to come to Planning Commission for a conditional use permit because of the EDS conversion.

The existing sign is 10 feet in height and just over 7 feet in width. The dimensions for the sign are allowed because the sign was approved and constructed before the existing monument sign requirements of the Code were approved. It exists as a legal, non-conforming monument sign. The EDS portion on the sign does appear to exceed 50 percent of the overall sign area currently, but the applicant mentioned that the existing sign shows text in the upper triangle area. They propose to put the address in the updated building matched timber frame truss triangular piece and use that sign area to meet the 50% requirement. The Planning Commission will need to determine if that is acceptable as contributing towards the total sign area. If so, the 50 percent EDS requirement would be satisfied.
