The Inquirer reports that Unisys Corp. cannot put up its sign on Philadelphia's Two Liberty Place skyscraper, the Zoning Board of Adjustments voted unanimously this morning.
Unisys spokesman James Kerr said the company is "disappointed by the decision." The computer software company said it would now have to make a decision on whether to continue with its plans to move its world headquarters and 225 employees into the city.
Zoning board chairman Susan Jaffe said that "we recognize and support" the city's efforts to attract businesses to Philadelphia. But, she said, the board has to enforce the zoning code as written.
The zoning code does not permit signs larger than 100 square feet and higher than the bottom of the second floor unless the applicant can prove a hardship, the Inquirer said.
