The Mesa Board of Adjustment recently approved permits for comprehensive sign plans at three Del Taco locations.
The board voted 5-0 Sept. 3 to approve the permits as part of a consent agenda with other items. Board members Heath Reed and Troy Glover were absent.
The three sites requesting a special-use permit for a comprehensive sign plan were:
Del Taco No. 806 Country Club on 0.7 acres at 1864 S. Country Club Drive;
Del Taco No. 1038 Signal Butte on 0.7 acres at 1842 S. Signal Butte Road;
Del Taco No. 861 Val Vista on 0.8 acres at 3648 E. Southern Ave.
The signs are being changed as part of new branding for the company, Staff Planner Tye Hodson said during a study session prior to the meeting.
“I think as part of the franchising and the brand refresh they are going through they are asking the various locations to update the look, the aesthetic of them, which includes the signage,” he said.
The seven-member Board of Adjustment conducts public meetings to hear and decide requests for variances, special-use permits and interpretations of the city of Mesa zoning ordinance and sign code. Members are appointed for staggered terms of three years, according to the city’s website.
