OF SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS:
SECTION 1.
Ordinance No. 506-A is hereby amended by revising Section 14 to read as follows:
"SEC. 14 VARIANCES
The City Council may authorize variances to any restriction set forth in this ordinance, including
but not limited to the number, type, area, height, or setback of signs, or any other aspect involved
in the sign permitting process. In granting any variance, the City Council shall determine that a
literal enforcement of the sign regulations will create an unnecessary hardship or a practical
difficulty on the applicant, that the situation causing the unnecessary hardship or practical
difficulty is unique to the aflbcted property and is not self-imposed, that the variance will not
injure and will be wholly compatible with the use and permitted development of adjacent
properties, and that the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the spirit and purpose of
this sign ordinance. A person may request a variance from the sign ordinance by filing the request

with the Building Official. Any request for variance shall be accompanied by a completed
application and a non-refundable filing fee in the amount specified in the current fee schedule
adopted by City Council."
SECTION 2.
Ordinance No. 506-A is hereby amended by deleting Article V, section 19, subsection B,
and renumbering the remaining subsections consistently.
SECTION 3.
This ordinance shall be cumulative of all provisions of ordinances of the City of Southlake,
Texas, except where the provisions of this ordinance are in direct conflict with the provisions of
such ordinances, in which event the conflicting provisions of such ordinances are hereby repealed.
SECTION 4.
It is hereby declared to be the intention of the city council that the phrases, clauses,
sentences, paragraphs, and sections of this ordinance are severable, and if any phrase, clause,
sentence, paragraph, or section of this ordinance shall be declared unconstitutional by the valid
judgement or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, such unconstitutionality shall not affect
any of the remaining phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, and sections of this ordinance, since
the same would have been enacted by the city council without the incorporation in this ordinance
of any such unconstitutiunal phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, or section.
SECTION 5.
Any person, firm, or corporation who violates, disobeys, omits, neglects, or refuses to
