- Meeting Overview:
The Red Bank Zoning Board of Adjustment granted a sign variance for a UBS office on Broad Street. During the meeting, the board discussed the sign variance application for 140-148 Broad Street, which sought permission to install a sign in a location not typically allowed by the ordinance. The sign, which will be externally lit by halo illumination, is designed to aid in vehicular and pedestrian identification of the UBS office on Broad Street.
The variance was requested specifically for a sign on the south side of the building, which would not fit within the area allowed by the existing ordinance. Dupon referred to a memo from April 17, 2024, as part of the justification for the variance and emphasized compliance with other building and signage ordinances.
Phil Smith, who is responsible for installing the sign, was present to address any technical questions. It was clarified that the signage would not feature digital elements or third-party advertising, and the lights would be turned off at a specific time each night, the details of which would be provided for the resolution.
Board members inquired about the specifics of the sign’s illumination and were assured that it would not include strobe lighting or any form of blinking lights, remaining static and consistently colored. The board also confirmed that UBS would not be the sole tenant of the building and that other tenants would not have signage rights on the south side.
After a motion was made and seconded, the board members present unanimously approved the application, subject to conditions discussed during the meeting. These conditions included the sign being externally lit with a halo effect, no third-party advertising, compliance with building ordinances, and the provision of a timed lighting schedule for the sign.
