TEMPLE BIBLE WAY WORLD WIDE CHURCH, BY BISHOP JOHN
L. ALLEN, SR., PASTOR AND TRUSTEE, FOR A SPECIAL EXCEPTION
TO ALLOW A SIGN TO BE CLOSER THAN THE REQUIRED 20 FEET
FROM THE FRONT AND SIDE PROPERTY LINES, ON THE PREMISES
KNOWN AS 4340 CHAIN BRIDGE ROAD
WHEREAS, the Greater Pentecostal Temple Bible Way World Wide
Church, by Bishop John L. Allen, Sr., Pastor and Trustee, has
submitted application No. SE-113-93-1 requesting a special
exception to the City Code Section 26-43(a) (3) and (8) in order to
allow a sign to be closer than the required 20 feet from the front
and side property lines (approximately five feet);
WHEREAS, City Council has determined that the proposed Special
Exception is appropriate because the proposal meets the requisites
established by City of Fairfax Code Sections 26-48 and 26-103 for
the following reasons:
The request is consistent with the purpose of the Sign
Ordinance and goal of the Comprehensive Plan to provide for
adequate but not excessive signage.
Existing fence screening would obscure a sign meeting the
required 20-foot setback.
The proposal will produce no negative impacts to pedestrian
or vehicular traffic safety.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Fairfax on this 13th day of July, 1993, that application No.
SE-113-93-1 be and hereby is approved, with the following
conditions:

a skirt or base to screen the sign posts;

The total sign area on the Church property not exceed the
allowed 24 square feet (excluding on-site directional or
temporary signs).
