SIGN VARIANCE APPLICATION
Demonstration
Please demonstrate that the following conditions are applicable to the requested sign variance:
1. That a literal enforcement of the sign regulation will create an unnecessary hardship or practical
difficulty on the applicant.
Executive Medicine of Texas is a tenant on the 3rd floor of a multi-story buiding. The current sign
code does not allow for signage above the first floor. However, there is no available space other
than the proposed area which falls within the lease area owned by Executive Medicine.
2. That the situation causing the unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty is unique to the affected
property and is not self imposed.
The current sign code does not allow for signage above the first floor.
3. That the variance will not injure and will be wholly compatible with the use and permitted
development of adjacent properties.
The proposed reverse ("halo") illuminated sign is consistent with signage of the other tenants within
the the property. These other tenants include Keller Williams, CTI Foods, and CH Robinson, all of
which have reverse illuminated logos and letters above the 1 st floor.
4. That the variance will be in harmony with the spirit and purpose of the sign ordinance.
Proposed variance will improve the visibility of Executive Medicine signage and is consistent with all
other facets of the sign code as well as other signage above the first floor at this location.

To: City of Southlake Sign Review Board & City Council
Subject: Variance Request for Sign Permit for Executive Medicine – 2nd Floor Placement
Dear Council & Review Board Members,
We respectfully request approval for the placement of Executive Medicine's sign above the second floor of
our office building, despite the current sign code restriction limiting signage to the first floor. Several
existing tenants, including Keller Williams, CTI Foods, and CH Robinson, have already been granted sign
placements above the first floor. In line with this precedent, we believe granting the same consideration to
Executive Medicine is both fair and consistent with the established practices.
Furthermore, this signage is appropriate for the lease space occupied by Executive Medicine and consistent
with all other sign codes. Placing the sign at the second floor would provide necessary visibility from both
the street and parking areas, helping to avoid confusion and enhancing the flow of traffic for within the
complex.
Given these considerations, we kindly ask for an exception to the sign code to maintain consistency with
other tenants and ensure adequate visibility for Executive Medicine.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Bob Williams, Owner/Operator
Signarama of North Fort Worth / Keller
