Rapid City Zoning Board Of Adjustment Meeting
The board discussed a variance request for the Block 8 Tower at 440 Mount Rushmore Road to significantly increase the maximum allowed cumulative size for on-premises wall signage and electronic message center signs. Staff recommended denial, citing non-compliance with sign code, the magnitude of the increase, and concerns regarding the preservation of the historic downtown aesthetic. The applicant argued the building's size justifies larger signage to ensure visibility.
