Harold Yellin, Agent for SRL Land Venture LLC. Petitioner (File No 19-006731-ZA) is requesting approval to amend a previously approved Planned Development (PD) for the purpose of adding a corresponding sign ordinance to the Eastern Wharf PD. The Eastern Wharf PD is located east of the Historic District and is bounded approximately by General McIntosh Boulevard to west, Truman Parkway to the east, the Savannah River to the north and President Street to the south. It is approximately 56 acres in size and is currently governed by Appendix A-2.5 of the Savannah Zoning Ordinance.

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to:

1. Create a sign ordinance which the entire development will be subject to;

2. Allow for sign types and sizes specific to the Eastern Wharf Planned Development:

3. Streamline the review process for City staff and establish the requirements for each future development within the district.

The Planning Commission recommends approval of the request to amend the Eastern Wharf Planned Development to include a sign ordinance as outlined in the MPC recommendation.
