§ 67-11. Variance.

(a)

Limitations. The development waiver review committee may grant variances to this chapter only as to number of signs, building materials, sign style, setbacks, or size up to 20 percent of the requirement of this chapter, provided that no variance shall be granted as to the height of a sign which exceeds the maximum size established by this chapter or height within the subject property's zoning district.

(b)

Procedure. Except as modified by this chapter, the procedures for requesting a variance from the standards of this chapter shall be the same procedures as that for seeking a variance from the county's ordinances regulating development (Paulding County Development Regulations).

(c)

Standards. The standards which shall be considered for granting a variance from the standards of this chapter shall be only the following:

(1)

The topography of the lot on which the sign is located or to be located renders it impossible to comport with the strict standards of this chapter.

(2)

The natural features of the lot on which the sign is located or to be located, or of the land immediately adjacent to the lot, impairs the visibility of the sign such that it cannot be seen.
