This item was tabled at the June 12, 2007 meeting in order to allow the applicant, Jimmy Archie, time to review options for moving the sign and/or making it smaller. The applicant has submitted revised plans showing a smaller sign. For this request a representative from the Engineering Department will be in attendance to discuss any issues regarding Bogart Drive with regard to the proposed sign. The report has been updated in order to explain the revised plans. Request. The applicant has submitted a request for a variance regarding the construction of a general business monument sign located at 1209 Hall Johnson Road. The applicant is requesting a variance from the front yard and side yard setback requirements due to the irregular shape of the commercial lot. The Land Development Code requires a minimum 8-foot front yard setback for monument signs. The applicant proposes the sign be installed approximately 7 feet from the property line. The Land Development Code also requires a minimum 30-foot side yard setback for monument signs. The applicant proposes both side yard setbacks be reduced to City of Colleyville Page 7 Printed on 7/6/2007 Agenda Briefing Continued approximately 18 feet. The proposed sign is 5-feet wide and located in a 35 foot wide strip of property adjacent to the street frontage of Bogart Road (refer to the submitted revised site plan). The applicant asserts there is a unique condition warranting this variance request as the property only has 35-feet of street frontage. The applicant also states that the subject property consists of a small office building located on a small lot, which was an intentional design feature utilized to accommodate a small business owner in owning their own office facility. Current Regulations. The proposed monument sign complies with all other regulations for size, height and masonry base and columns. Attached is a copy of the specifications for a monument sign as contained in the Land Development Code and an exhibit of the commercial driveway visibility triangle. Also attached is a drawing of the proposed monument sign. Visibility Triangle. Staff has reviewed the revised sign size and location and it appears to be partially within the required visibilty triangle. Staff recommends that the applicant move the sign on the revised site plan either: (1) 2 feet to the west and one foot to the south, or (2) 4 feet to the west, thereby allowing the sign to be completely outside of the visibility triangle. This change would place the sign 16 feet from the side property line and 8 feet from the front property line, or 14 from the side property line and 7 feet from the front respectively. Public Notification. Staff mailed notices to the 11 owners of property situated within 200 feet of the applicant's property. At this time, staff has received no written responses regarding the request. Summary. If approved as proposed, the monument would have 18-foot side yard setbacks and a 7-foot front yard setback. The applicant has noted that there is a unique condition the property consists of an irregular shape (e.g. 35-foot street frontage). Once again, staff recommends the proposed sign location be in conformance with the commercial driveway visibility triangle requirements. Recommendation Approval, with the following condition: The proposed sign location conform to the commercial driveway visibility triangles requirements. -- City of Colleyville Page 2 Printed on 7/6/2007 0 h O ti O h n • M b C~~ o/ T~s~s Community Development Services Application City of Colleyville 100 Main Street Colleyville, TX 76034 817.503.1050 ^ Zoning Change ^ Preliminary Plat ^ Zoning Variance (ZBA) ^ Special Use Permit ^ Final Plat (Sign Variance (SBA) ^ Planned Unit Development ^ Minor Plat ^ Special Exception ^ Site & Landscape Plan ^ Amended Plat ^ Interpretation Appeal Project Name: r~Ve ~Z~ Off %~- Pii,-K - p~as~ Project Address (Location): ~ao9 K`/! .?vlwc,soK R~a..ae legal Description: ~~' ~] R ' ~ Proposed Number of Lots: Existing Zoning: r~D ~ C..
