City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Invalid #207518

Other:

Other: Not sure is this is a HAND issue. The "Beverly" building has installed a *huge* sign on the SW corner of the building that is brightly illuminated all night long and is visible from as far as north of 10th Street. There is no reason for a sign that needs illumination. In fact, there is no reason for a sign at all, at least on the side of the building. It isn't a business that will have night-time hours, and it is in the middle of a generally residential area. Is there any way to regulate this kind of thing, or is the fact that IU is involved mean that the City has no jurisdiction over what they do? The building is already a lot bigger than was imagined, and now they are drawing even more attention to it with an inappropriate, vertical sign.

Being addressed in similar report. "There are lighting standards and signage standards across the city that vary by zoning district, use, etc. so depending on reported location and use (or adjacent use), the standards vary so there is no blanket answer for that question. If you would like to discuss the standards in depth, please contact Planning to speak with a Planner on Duty (POD) at 812-349-3423. The specific complaint we can respond to here is in regard to the permanent sign at the Bentley property."
