PROJECT:Sign Variance for Bicycle World
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY:
MCP Neon and Sign on behalf of Bicycle World is requesting approval of a
variance to the Sign Ordinance No. 704, as amended, to allow an additional
attached sign to be located on the east façade of the building and to allow more
than two signs per lease space. The sign/building is located at 1201 E. SH114,
Suite 160, Southlake, Texas.
REQUEST
DETAILS:
The applicant is requesting a variance to the Sign Ordinance No. 704-H
requirements to allow a second attached sign on the east elevation that already
has a tenant sign for the business and a variance to exceed the total number of
allowable signs for the lease space. The ordinance allows two signs per lease
space and the applicant is requesting three signs for the lease space. More
specifically, Bicycle World is seeking an additional sign to direct customers to
the separate service entrance located approximately 60-feet from the main
sales entrance. The applicant states this request is due to bicycles coming into
the store for service may be wet or dirty. The service entrance is set up to
relieve the slip hazard from the main entrance and for customer safety.
The allowable sign area on the east elevation is 66.5 square feet. The existing
sign is 55.6 square feet. The proposed sign is 9.36 square feet (14-inches by 4
feet) with 14-inch letters. Both signs will total 64.96 square feet.
The specific variance requested is as follows:
