I Development Coordinator G-06-013 - Request by Environmental Branding Inc. for a Subject: variance from the Sign Regulations regarding a monument sign on Lot 1, Block 1, of the Highland Meadows Christian Church Addition, located at 2600 Hall Johnson Road Variance Request Summary Environmental Branding Incorporated has submitted a request on behalf of Highland Meadows Christian Church for a variance regarding the construction of a sign to be located at 2600 Hall Johnson Road. The applicant is seeking a variance for the construction of a monument sign that is not in compliance with the regulations within Chapter 7 - Sign Regulations of the Land Development Code. An illustration of the proposed sign is attached to the agenda briefing. Highland Meadows Christian Church is currently undergoing renovations of the exterior fa9ade of the existing building and is proposing to construct a new sign approximately fifty (50) feet from the corner of Hall Johnson Road and Pool Road. The applicant is proposing to build a sign with a height of twelve (12) feet, six (6) inches. Institutional monument signs are limited to a maximum height of five (5) feet. The proposed sign exceeds this requirement by seven (7) feet, six (6) inches. The applicant asserts that the proposed height is necessary due to the placement of the sign fifty (50) feet within the property and its proximity to an existing bridge on the property. The Land Development Code states that on-premises institutional signs are to be constructed as monument signs. A monument sign must be mounted on a solid base or pedestal with no visible space between the sign and the base or pedestal. The Land Development Code explicitly states that monument signs are not mounted on visible poles, struts, wires, or other visible structures. Approval of the variance request will allow the applicant to construct a sign that complies with the exhibit attached to this agenda briefing. Staff mailed notices to the seventeen (17) owners of property situated within 200 feet of the applicant's property. At this time, staff has received no written responses regarding the req uest. Section 1.15.B of the Colleyville Land Development Code provides the authority of the Sign Board of Appeals for approval of a variance request to Colleyville Sign Regulations. The following is an excerpt of the applicable language form the Land Development Code: Agenda Item No.1 - Page 1 Authoritv of the Sian Board of Appeals - The Sign Board of Appeals shall have the authority to hear and decide on requests for a variance from the requirements contained in Chapter 7 - Sign Regulations of this Land Development Code. The Sign Board of Appeals shall also have the authority to hear and decide an appeal of an administrative decision on a regulation contained in Chapter 7 - Sign Regulations of this Land Development Code. The authority established under this paragraph shall be applicable to a definition contained in Chapter 2 - Definitions of this Land Development Code required for the administration and enforcement of the provisions of Chapter 7 - Sign Regulations. Conclusion The location of the proposed monument sign, which is fifty (50) feet from the property line, does not appear to be due to any physical impediments. The minimum setback for a monument sign from a front property line is eight (8) feet. There appears to be sufficient frontage along both Hall Johnson Road and Pool Road to allow the placement of monument signs that would be in compliance with the regulations stated within the Land Development Code. RECOMMENDATION Denial of the request due to technical noncompliance with the Land Development Code. There do not appear to be any physical hardships or special conditions on the property to justify the variance request. However, information that may become available at the public hearing would have a significant impact on the staff evaluation, which could alter the staff recommendation. ATTACHMENTS . Location Map .
