Request for amendment to Table 6.5.9A of the zoning regulations to modify the provision related to free-standing signage for building identification signs in the Buckland Gateway Development zone. For individual site signage, the current additional requirements state: "Shall contain no more than 1 square feet of sign area for each 1,000 sf of building area, but may be at least 6 sq ft regardless of the size of the building. This was a provision changed in the 2007 regulation s i, t update.; f t_e v e 'j� ,::;, A �� ,�4 : R, 2. The applicant is proposing to change the minimum of 6 sf to 24 sf of free- standing. 3. Currently, any building in excess of 36,000 sq ft would be limited to a 36 sf sign, maximum of 10 feet in height. Signs in the Buckland Gateway Zone are not eligible to take advantage of the sign embellishment section of the regulations. 4. The Buckland Gateway Zone runs along both sides of Buckland Road from the Manchester town line to Deming Street and then on the easterly side of Buckland Road from Deming Street to the four corners. The properties on the westerly side in this area are zoned restricted commercial- which treats signage differently. RC signage currently allows for 24 sf. per site (regardless of number of businesses). Proposed Signs in the RC zone do have the ability to take advantage of the sign embellishment regulations which allow for larger sign. 5. In evaluating the impact this change would have, I would note that the current signs on the easterly side of Buckland Road in this general area of the four corners vary in size, with the largest being 24 sf. 6. The concern I would have is for the multi-building sites —particularly those properties south of Deming Street. Along this stretch of road, we have several properties that have been developed with multiple building and businesses on one site. Under those development proposals, the applicant is allowed a 50 sf development sign at their entrance as well ass additional building and free- standing signage. Under this amendment all of those businesses would be eligible for 24 sf. of signage regardless of the size of the building which I think gets away from the intent of the current regulation. 7. My recommendation would be to allow a 24 sf free standing sign when the property has only one building on it and not part of a larger development. 8. The current town plan encouragesw design 9. CRCOG was noticed of the proposed changes as required and they responded that they "find no apparent conflict with regional plans and policies of the concerns of neighboring towns".
