Mr. Aspery stated that the applicant is proposing signage for a new multi-tenant commercial building, existing Jared building and a new multi-tenant ground sign near the Brookpark Road entrance to Great Northern Mall and adjacent properties. The new building will consist of three tenants, each requiring variances for sign quantity and permitted sign area on a building unit. Per code, the overall building will require a 56.37 square foot variance for wall sign area on a building; this pertains to the total of the building's permitted signage and does not look at individual units. Regarding unit signage, the first tenant, Mission BBQ, is requesting a 56.37 square foot variance for excessive wall sign area on a building unit and an additional three wall signs beyond the one allowed by code: one on the north elevation, two on the east elevation near the man-door and one on the south elevation. The remaining two units, Tenants 2 and 3 on the plans, are each requesting one additional sign beyond the one allowed by code, at two wall signs per unit: one on the north elevation and one on the south elevation. Based on what is submitted, both units are within their allotted building unit sign area. In addition to the proposed multi- tenant building, Jared is requesting a third wall sign on the building's east elevation. This
