board pole sign within the Residential-4 (R-4) zone. The subject property is located at 1111 SE Carr Road (APN 3223059081). The
purpose of the variance is to allow for the applicant to replace an existing, nonconforming manual message board pole sign wi th a
new electronic message board pole sign. The proposed electronic message board pole sign will have a height of approximately 13
feet and 8 inches (13'8"), a maximum face size of 46 square feet, and will be double sided. Per RMC 4 -4-100E.4.a, existing legally
established nonconforming businesses within residential zones may have identifying signs of not over 32 square feet in area on one
face. The code further states that signs may be illuminated but not animated, shall be for location identification only, and shall display
no copy, symbol or device other than that in keeping with the development. In addition, freestanding signs shall not have a height
greater than six feet (6') above any established grade. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow the proposed sign to be
animated (message board), to exceed the maximum height by up to 7 feet and 8 inches (7'8"), and to exceed the maximum face size
by up to 14 square feet. The new sign will remain in the same location as the existing sign (5.7 feet from the front property line),
