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 fagade 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.
Bicycle World currently has 95 linear feet of lease space. 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 8 feet) with 14-inch
letters. Both signs will total 64.96 square feet.
The specific variance requested is as follows:
Sign Regulation Permitted Proposed

This proposal for variance is for a second wall sign addition,this sign is for the service entrance only.
Bicycle World has learned from past experiences and locations across Texas that a second service
entrance has become a necessary part of their building designs due to the amount of mud, dirt and
water that come in a bikes having work done to them. In the past this has been a safety hazard to the
customers with only one entrance. By separating the two doors, it has almost eliminated the amount of
onsite customer injuries, usually slipping injuries, in other Joactions. Bicycle World is not trying to get
more advertising media space but merely trying to place this sign as a directional means far customers
whom need service to bring their equipment in the service door not the main entrance.
Thank you for your consideration and time.

Demonstration
Please dernanstrate thatthe fallowing conditions are applicable to the requested sign variance:
1. That a literal enforcement of the sign reguJation will create an unnecessary hardship or practical
difficulty on the applicant.
Business has two entrances into store,ane main entrance and one service
entrance. South lake sign ordinance only allows for one wall sign.The second
service entrance sign will be a directional sign show1ng service, not for
advertising purposes_
2. That the situation causing the unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty is unique to the affected
property and is not self imposed_
When bicycles come into store to have work done on them,they can be
very dirty and wet. The second service entrance is set up to relieve the
slip hazard away from main entrance for customer safety_
3. Tha:the variance will not injure and will be wholly compatible with the use and permitted
development of adjacent properties.
New service sign will not inflict any harm or hardship to arty other businesses
in the adjacent area or center.
4. That the variance will be in harmany with the spirit and purpose of the sign ordinance.
The combination total of the existing sign square footage and the new service
sign square footage will meet the required square footage total of the sign
ordinance for a single wall sign_
