Item 9A Sign Variance for Gloria’s Latin Cuisine SV15-007 1 Owner: Excel Southlake I, LP Applicant: Chandler Signs Request: Sign Variances to the Master Sign Plan for Park Village, and Sign Ordinance No. 704, as amended, regulations to allow Gloria’s Latin Cuisine three (3) attached signs that do not meet illumination or letter type criteria. Location: 1121 E. Southlake Blvd. SV15-007 2 Aerial View Southlake Blvd. Carroll Ave. Aerial of the site 3 Approved Site Plan Gloria’s Latin Cuisine 4 Request Details At your last meeting, the applicant proposed three (3) attached signs; one (1) for each elevation facing a street or internal driveway. The letters for Gloria’s were proposed to be halo lit with red LED instead of the white required by the approved master sign plan. The applicant also proposed a tag line for Latin Cuisine that had the appearance of a boxed cabinet type sign which is not allowed under the master plan or the city’s sign ordinance. The item was tabled and the applicant has revised the tag line sign in removing the cabinet and replacing it with a flat black plate with ¾ inch pushed through letters. The Master Sign Plan for Park Village requires that all attached signs located on “Village” buildings will be halo lit channel cut letters and the illumination is required to be white. The attached signs proposed for the north and southeast elevations are channel cut letters with red L.E.D. halo illumination (Gloria’s) to include a tag line sign (Latin Cuisine) which consists of a flat black aluminum plate with pushed thru ¾ inch letters. The letters in tag line sign are illuminated with white L.E.D. on the sides only. The sign proposed for the east elevation is channel cut letters with red L.E.D. halo illumination (Gloria’s) without the tag line sign. All other components of the proposed signs meet the criteria of the Master Sign Plan. 5 Southeast Elevation facing internal drive Previously proposed Revised Replaced 5 ½ inch deep cabinet with 1/8 inch thick black plate with ¾ inch pushed through letters Reduced length of plate from 8 feet 11 inches to 7 feet and rounded out corners Reduced spacing from the wall from 2 inches to 1 inch for both sign elements 6 East Elevation facing Carroll Ave. Patio Area Previously proposed Revised Reduced spacing from the wall from 2 inches to 1 inch 7 North Elevation facing Southlake Blvd. Previously proposed Revised Replaced 5 ½ inch deep cabinet with 1/8 inch thick black plate with ¾ inch pushed through letters Reduced length of plate from 8 feet 11 inches to 7 feet and rounded out corners Reduced spacing from the wall from 2 inches to 1 inch for both sign elements 8 Action Sign Board: October 8, 2015; Approved (5-1) as presented.
