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
for an institutional monument sign on Lot 1, Block 1, of the First United, located at
1000 Church Street, Case SC19-001
Explanation
The applicant is requesting a variance to add an electronic message sign (10’-10”x5’)
above the existing monument sign (10’-10”x5’) for a total area of 108.33 sf.
Existing Conditions/Background: The subject property is generally located at the
northeast corner of Pleasant Run Road and Church Street. It is zoned AG Agricultural
and is currently platted.
Requested Variance:
Ordinance – Section 7.150, Permanent Freestanding Signs – Sign Classification and
Regulations of the Land Development Code establishes regulations for “Institutional
Signs”:
“1. On-Premises Institutional Sign –… The purpose of an on-premises institutional
sign is to identify schools, churches, hospitals or similar public or quasi-public
institutions:
1.Maximum Area: Sixty and one-half square feet (60.5 s.f.), overall structure size.
2.Base and Column Requirements:At a minimum, a general business sign shall be
constructed to include a base and columns as described below.Said base and
columns shall be included in the calculation for determining the overall structure
size for compliance with these regulations.
i. Base: A general business sign shall be constructed with a base that
extends the entire length of the face of the sign structure. Said base shall
be a minimum of eighteen inches (18”) in height and shall be constructed
of brick, stone, or of a material similar to that of the primary building on
the lot.
ii. Columns: A general business sign shall be constructed with columns
constructed on each end of the face of the sign structure. Said columns
shall be a minimum of eighteen inches (18”) in width as viewed from the
Sign Board of Appeals Agenda Briefing 1a
City of Colleyville Page 2
front and side elevations and shall extend the entire height of the face of
the sign structure. Said columns shall be constructed of brick, stone, or of
a material similar to that of the primary building on the lot.
e. Changeable Reader Board and Electric Message Signs: An on-premises
institutional sign may include a changeable reader board electronic message
area, provided the combined gross surface area does not exceed the
maximum allowable sign area and provided that no more than fifty (50%)
percent of the maximum allowable sign area may be used as a changeable
reader board or electronic message area. A permit is not required to change
the message on a changeable reader board or electronic message sign.
Except for scrolling reader boards, all electronic message areas shall be
allowed to change messages at a minimum of every thirty (30) seconds.
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.”
Analysis – The proposed sign would not comply with the size requirements for a
permanent free standing sign. An addition of an electronic message sign the same size
as the current sign increases the request to more than double of what is allowed for a
permanent free standing sign.
Public Notification: Staff mailed notices to property owners within 500 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 monument regulations, staff does not
recommend approval of the requested sign variance.

Colleyville, Texas, Land Development Code
Chapter 7 – Sign Regulations Page 7 - 5
D. Illumination – A permanent freestanding sign may be illuminated. All electrical facilities shall require
separate electrical permits and shall be installed in accordance with the City of Colleyville electrical code.
Lighting shall be installed so as to avoid any glare or reflection onto adjacent property or create a traffic
hazard on a public street. For electronic message signs, the maximum brightness shall not exceed 7,000
nits or its equivalent when measured from the sign’s face at its maximum brightness during daylight hours
and shall not exceed 1,000 nits or its equivalent when measured from the sign’s face at its maximum
brightness at night. When determined necessary by the administrative official, illuminated signs shall be
shielded to minimize glare on residentially zoned property.
E. Pedestrian Clearance – No permanent freestanding sign may project over a pedestrian walkway, unless
there is a minimum of eight (8’) feet of clearance provided from the bottom of the sign to the grade below
the sign.
F. Public Right-of-Way – No permanent freestanding sign shall project over or into a public right-of-way,
except where a provision in this Chapter provides for a sign within a right-of-way or with the approval by
the City Council of a Right-of-Way Encroachment and Joint Use Agreement. A sign may encroach over
or into a public access easement that is located on private property provided a minimum of eight (8’) feet
of clearance is provided over a walkway and a minimum of fourteen (14’) feet of clearance is provided
over a driving area.
G. Street Intersection Visibility Triangles – No sign
shall be located or placed where it obstructs the
vision of motor vehicle drivers approaching any
street intersection. At all street intersections,
clear vision shall be maintained across the lot
for a distance of twenty-five (25’) feet back from
the property corner along both streets. Within
