Second Monument Sign

About this project

Philadelphia Suburban Development Corporation is seeking approval to install a second double-sided, internally lit monument sign of about 126 square feet along Forty Foot Road, across from Newbury Way, at the Shops at Town Square. The sign would go on vacant land within the larger Towamencin Village shopping center redevelopment. The county generally supports the request but asks the township to clarify whether a conditional use is actually required given the sign spacing rules.

County planning commission: Supports, with comments

Issues raised: Unclear whether a conditional use is needed for the second sign, Ordinance does not say where sign spacing and frontage are measured, Existing and proposed signs sit on different parcels, Distance between signs may fall short of one-third of frontage, depending on measurement
