The Mayor and Aldermen approved the text amendment request following a zoning hearing at the November 9, 2017 City Council Meeting. The action being considered now is the approval of the ordinance to amend the Zoning Ordinance regarding the Plant Riverside Sign District.

The petitioner, Harold Yellin for SRD LLC (Kessler Collection), is requesting approval of a text amendment to create a new sign district for the Plant Riverside area in the northwest section of the Savannah Historic District to be titled Section 8-3122 Plant Riverside Sign District; amend Section 8-3120 River Street- Factors Walk Sign District to revise the boundaries to exclude the new Plant Riverside area; and amend Section 8-3121 Historic District Sign Ordinance to reference the new Plant Riverside area and allow a streamlined review process for signs which have a master plan approved by the Historic District Board of Review.

At the September 26, 2017 Regular Meeting, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the petition (File No. 17-004435-ZA) as revised by the petitioner at the meeting.
