PROJECT: Sign Variance for Keller Williams
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Keller Williams Realty DFW is requesting approval of a variance to Sign
Ordinance No. 704-H regulations to allow two (2) "Land Signs" on a
residentially zoned and platted lot where only a "Residential Real Estate Sign"
is permitted. The existing signs are located at 1705 N. Pearson Ln., Southlake,
Texas.
REQUEST
DETAILS: The applicant is requesting a variance to Sign Ordinance No. 704-H regulations
to allow two (2) "Land Signs" on a residentially zoned and platted lot.
Residentially zoned and platted lots are only permitted to have one (1)
"Residential Real Estate Sign." The signs were installed under the assumption
and criteria for a "Land Sign." A "Land Sign" is defined as a temporary on-site
ground sign on vacant land intended to advertise land for sale including
unplatted tracts of land. A "Residential Real Estate Sign" is defined as a
temporary on-site sign identifying existing residential buildings and/or lots for
sale or lease on all residentially zoned and platted lots. This property is zoned
and platted for residential use and only allows for a single "Residential Real
Estate Sign."
The specific variance requested is as follows:
Sign Regulation Permitted Proposed
Residential Real Estate 1 ground sign per site: 2 Land Signs:
Sign—all residentially 24 total square feet; 12 square 64 total square feet; 32 square
zoned and platted lots feet per sign face feet per sign face
On February 18, 2016 the Sign Board unanimously recommended approval
subject to the staff report and noting that the sign variance approval is
applicable only to the current real estate agent listed on the sign. If for some
reason the agent is changed, the applicant acknowledges that he would have to
go back and comply with the sign ordinance.
ACTION NEEDED: Consider approval of sign variance request
