Wave Church Marquee Sign
Petition for City Approval

PREAMBLE: Wave Church, a vibrant charitable member of the Virginia Beach community, serves thousands of Virginia Beach citizens each week through its religious services, community outreach, and other charitable programs. Located on the corner of North Great Neck Road and Old Donation Parkway (a site that has held a house of worship for nearly 35 years), Wave Church has been in the process of building a state-of-the-art, award winning facility to be used by our community. The main auditorium is complete, and was opened to the public in December 2008, at a grand ribbon cutting ceremony attended by Virginia Beach mayor-elect Will Sessoms.

Wave Church is requesting permission to replace the existing single-
sided marquee sign located at the corner of North Great Neck Road and Old Donation Parkway with a new sign in the same location designed to compliment the beautiful architecture of the main auditorium. The proposed double-sided self-standing sign will be an electronic message sign using light-emitting diode (LED) technology. The proposed LED sign is proposed at 11 feet, 11 inches in height with each face measuring approximately 60 SF. Additionally, the applicant requests a building mounted sign on the
newly constructed worship center as well as two non-LED entrance signs not to exceed twenty four square feet.

PETITION: The members of Wave Church and other interested neighbors are petitioning the City of Virginia Beach to approve the submitted plans for new church signage by Wave Church as proposed in the current Modification of the Conditional Use Permit currently before city planning.

We, the undersigned, do hereby express our request for the City of Virginia Beach to approve the installment of the proposed marquee sign and building signage at Wave Church, 1000 N. Great Neck Road, Virginia Beach, Virginia, 23454.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
