City of Colleyville Page 1 City of Colleyville Sign Board of Appeals Agenda Briefing City Hall 100 Main Street Colleyville, Texas 76034 www.colleyville.com Agenda Number 3a Agenda Date 05/08/2018 Number Type Public Hearing Agenda Items Department Community Development Title Request for a variance to the provisions of Section 7-150, Permanent Freestanding Signs – Sign Classification and Regulations of the Land Development Code, specifically the minimum setback requirements, on Lot 2, Block 1, of the SW Colleyville Office Park Addition, located at 607 Cheek Sparger Road, Case SC18-001 Explanation Lynn Bural, the applicant, has submitted a request for a Sign Variance for Lot 2, Block 1, of the SW Colleyville Office Addition, located at 607 Cheek-Sparger Road, being approximately 0.4337 acres, and zoned CC-1 Village Retail. The request is to allow for the construction of an electronic message sign that will encroach into the required 8 foot front property line setback along Cheek-Sparger Road. Existing Conditions/Background: The subject property is generally located on the south side of Cheek-Sparger Road, just east of Brown Trail. It is zoned CC-1 Village Retail district and is currently platted. Requested Variance: The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for the construction of a monument sign within the front setback along Cheek-Sparger Road and the side setback from the property line to the east Ordinance – Section 7.150, Permanent Freestanding Signs – Sign Classification and Regulations of the Land Development Code establishes regulations for general business signs or “monument signs”: “A. General Business Signs –…All general business signs shall be subject to the following additional regulations: 1. Construction Design: All general business signs shall be designed and constructed as a monument sign as defined in this Land Development Code. … d. Minimum Setback: Eight feet (8’) from an abutting street right-of-way. Thirty feet (30’) from any side or rear property line adjacent to another property. … 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: Sign Board of Appeals Agenda Briefing 3a City of Colleyville Page 2 “…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.” Analysis – The proposed sign does not comply with the setback requirements for a monument sign. The regulations of a monument sign in Chapter 7 of the Land Development Code explicitly describe an 8 foot front setback and 30 foot setback from side property lines. The proposed sign does not comply with the regulations. The applicant references a sign, for O’Brien Business center, just to the east which encroaches into the setback. This sign applied for a variance during construction in 2006. The Board of Adjustment denied the application for variance. The applicant appealed the Board of Adjustment’s decision to the City Council which granted the variance. The existing variance does not confer any special rights to the subject property nor should it influence this request. The existing sign might achieve better visibility from the east by adjusting the existing landscaping. Visibility from the west does not appear to have any obstructions. The existing sign currently encroaches into the site visibility triangle; however, the City does not have the power to require the owner to move the sign. Existing non- conformities do not create or justify a hardship. 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: Based on current regulations staff does not recommend approval based on the following findings: 1. The subject property does not differ from other parcels of land in the same district by restricted area, shape or slope so that it cannot develop signage without the variance. 2. No hardship has been identified beyond a self-created, personal, or financial hardship. 3. This variance, if granted, would provide a development opportunity not available to other properties in the City with the same zoning designation.
