Saint Bernard is occupying the former Pier 1 lease space is generally located
approximately 645 feet south of the southeast intersection of S. Carroll Avenue
and E. Southlake Blvd. within the Shops of Southlake. Saint Bernard is
requesting a sign variance for an attached sign at the northwest corner of the
building facing west to S. Carroll Avenue to allow the sign to be placed outside
of the middle 75% of the fagade plane and to allow a back lit backer plate.
The proposed sign is not located within the required middle 75% of the fagade
plane as required in Sign Ordinance 704, as amended. The sign also includes a
back lit bronze backer plate with white lighting. The backer plate is 4 -feet in height
by 18 -feet in length and wraps around the corner with a 4 -foot by 4'-4" base for
the proposed pedestrian blade sign. The City's Sign Ordinance no longer permits
backer plates and the MSP for Shops of Southlake does not specifically allow
them.
The attached sign on the north elevation and a pedestrian blade sign located at
the northwest corner of the lease space meet the MSP and Sign Ordinance No.
704, as amended, and do not require variances.
The specific variance requested for the attached sign is as follows:
