PROJECT: Sign Variance for Tommy's Express Carwash
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Christianson Companies, on behalf of Tommy's Express Carwash, is
requesting approval of variances to Sign Ordinance No. 704, as amended,
for attached building signs, attached drive -through and directional signs,
and a monument sign.
DETAILS: The property is located at the northeast corner of W. Southlake Boulevard
and N. Pearson Ln. The applicant originally proposed two options, including
3 attached building signs, drive -through signs, vacuum signs, and a pylon
or monument sign to the Sign Board. At the September 19, 2024, Sign
Board meeting, the Board recommended that the applicant bring forward
an option to City Council with smaller attached signs on the east and west
elevations, no vacuum signs, and to show an example of the monument
sign with no variances. In response, the applicant has provided two revised
options for the City Council's consideration, although Option 1 is their
preferred choice.
Option 1 contains the following requests: three attached walls signs located
on the west, south, and east elevations, two attached drive -through signs,
two directional LED signs, and one monument sign. Option 2 contains the
following requests: two attached walls signs located on the west and east
elevations, two attached drive -through signs, two directional LED signs,
and one monument sign.
The PowerPoint presentation provides additional details regarding the
original request as considered by the Sign Board.
