Columbia Memorial Hospital HC Zone Sign Code Amendment

Description

The hospital's consultants pitched a new set of sign rules for the Health Care zone — no cap on total sign count or square footage, but keeping dimensional limits and right-of-way rules. The formal hearing is set for February 24.

Impact summary

The hospital campus would be fully signed for wayfinding across future phases without repeated variances, but neighbors want tighter limits on lit signs to protect nearby homes from glare.
