He went on to say, the neighboring suite would be accessed north of

pertaining specifically to Frost Bank. Mr. Pace confirmed the variance
would only pertain to Frost Bank. He added that any future tenants
asking for a sign in the same location would be required to apply for a

as to the size of the sign. Mr. Pace responded if a motion was made

the size of the sign this would be acceptable. He went on to state that
the variance can be approved as requested and applicant would be
required to comply with all other existing regulations.

Title
Request for a variance to the provisions of Section 7.175.D, Permanent Attached Signs
– Classification and Regulations of the Land Development Code, specifically the
maximum area of signage, on Lot 16R2, Block 1, of the Colleyville Industrial Park
Addition, located at 6407 Colleyville Boulevard, Case SC16-005
Explanation
The applicant, Geneva Switzer, is requesting a variance to the requirements of Section
7.175.D - Permanent Attached Signs – Classification and Regulations of the Land
Development Code. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for a sign larger
than permitted.
Existing Conditions/Background: The subject property is generally located on the
east side of Colleyville Boulevard, south of Industrial Boulevard, and north of Tinker
Road. It is zoned ML – Light Manufacturing district and is currently a platted lot.
Requested Variance: The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for a wall sign
exceeding the maximum area allowed by the Land Development Code.
Ordinance – Section 7.175.D - Permanent Attached Signs – Classification and
Regulations of the Land Development Code establishes regulations for the maximum
area of Wall Signs:
“Maximum Area: The total area of all wall signs on a single tenant building or
occupancy space of a multi-tenant building shall not exceed the product of two
times the lineal width of the wall on which such signs are located...”
Chapter 1 (General Provisions) of the Land Development Code authorizes the Sign
Board of Appeals to grant variances to the requirements of Chapter 7 – Signs given the
following considerations:
“…In considering a request for a variance, the Sign Board of Appeals shall
consider, among other things, the degree of variance, the reason for the variance
requested, the location of the variance request, the duration of the requested
variance, the effect on public safety, the protection of neighborhood property,
the degree of hardship or injustice involved, and the effects of the variance on
the general plan of regulation of signs within the City.”
Sign Board of Appeals Agenda Briefing 2a
City of Colleyville Page 2
Analysis – The variance request up for consideration proposes to install a new wall sign
for “Yard Art” on the front parapet wall of the building. The wall to which the sign will
be attached is 21 feet wide. Per the Land Development Code, the maximum area
permitted on this wall (Length of wall X 2) is 42 square feet. The applicant is proposing
to install a sign totaling approximately 72 square feet. This exceeds the permitted
amount by 30 square feet.
The applicant has not presented a hardship as justification for the requested variance
as defined by the Land Development Code. Rather, the applicant contends that the
current interpretation of the ordinance provision “…the wall on which such signs are
located” is not applicable at this location. The existing building contains three parapet
walls along the front of the building, each creating an individual wall face. The
applicant requests to utilize the width of all three parapets to calculate the maximum
area. Staff has denied this request and therefore the case is before the Sign Board of
Appeals. Staff applies the strict reading and interpretation on all sign permit
applications reviewed. Although there would be no foreseeable adverse impacts to
surrounding properties, approval of this request in the absence of a hardship may set a
precedence and potentially initiate additional variance requests.
Public Notification: Staff mailed notices to property owners within 200 feet of the
subject property regarding this request. Grapevine-Colleyville ISD, where the subject
property is located, was notified per State law. Notice was published in the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram as required by State law and the Land Development Code. To date, staff
has received no correspondence for the request.
Staff Recommendation: The applicant has not presented a hardship as defined by
the Land Development Code. Additionally, the applicant is requesting to exceed the
maximum permitted area for the wall sign by approximately 30 square feet. Due to the
degree of variance, and lack of hardship staff recommends denial of the proposed
variance.

To Whom it may Concern
We are requesting a sign variance for our Yard Art Patio & Fireplace location at
6407 Colleyville Blvd. We are requesting this variance on the basis that we do not
believe the entire front of the building is being considered when allowing for the
size of the sign. While our front wall of our building does have an angle, it is still
all one wall and we feel our sign should be allow to the size of the entire wall, not
just the angle side. We appreciate you allowing us to go in front of you to discuss.
Thank you,
Geneva Wallace Switzer
