Granting the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and in the zone in which the subject property is situated. It does not appear that granting the requested sign variance will cause any negative effects to the public welfare, or other property in the Institutional Zoning District. In response to this condition, Locher Interests Ltd. has stated the following: The internally lit nature of the sign designs do not detract from the surroundings and are less obtrusive than indirect illumination from shining lights. The signs were designed to compliment the overall building and surrounding neighborhood. Section 2. The Community Development Department is hereby authorized to issue a sign variance to Locher Interests Ltd. to allow the following signs at Providence Seward Medical Center on Lot lA, Marathon Addition: 1. One internally illuminated directional sign at the main parking lot entrance; and 2. One internally illuminated EMERGENCY sign facing east. c- Section 3. The submitted informational and directional sign plan for Providence Seward Medical Center is hereby approved subject to the following conditions: 1. The west facing EMERGENCY sign must remain non-illuminated; and 2. The illuminated directional sign at the main parking lot entrance must be located outside of the site distance triangle as required by Seward City Code ~ 15.20.035(B). Section 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. PASSED AND APPROVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission this 6th day of May, 1998.
