The applicant proposes to construct a sign that is 6 feet wide, 4 feet in height for a total of 24 square feet, which is allowed by the sign code. Existing Conditions. This property is located on the corner of Colleyville Boulevard and Thompson Terrace. The applicant has reconstructed the existing commercial building, realigned the parking lot and has updated the building facade. Proposed Variance. The applicant proposes to place the sign two (2) feet from the side property line and directly on the front yard setback. The applicant states that the requested variance is due to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) right-of-way acquisition along Colleyville Boulevard and the realignment plans for the intersection of Main Street and Thompson Terrace. The Land Development Code requires a minimum setback of eight (8) feet from an abutting street right-of-way for monument signs. The applicant is proposing to construct the sign two City of Colleyville Page 1 Printed on 5/52077 Agenda Briefing Continued (2) feet from the side property line and directly on the front yard setback. The applicant states that the layout of the property, the newly renovated building and parking lot configuration make it difficult to construct a new sign in compliance with the setbacks required in the Land Development Code. Public Notification. Staff mailed notices to 17 property owners within 200 feet of the site. As of this writing, staff has received no written response in acknowledgement of the variance request. Summary. Staff recognizes that the TxDot right-of-way acquisition has created a compliance hardship with regard to the sign setbacks. If the applicant were required to construct the proposed monument sign in compliance with the setback requirements, the sign would be placed in the parking lot area thereby reducing the required number of parking spaces.
