Item 9A - Demonstration and PlansZQ% SOUTH LAKE PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES SIGN VARIANCE APPLICATION Demonstration Please demonstrate that the following conditions are applicable to the requested sign variance: That a literal enforcement of the sign regulation will create an unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty on the applicant. There are two site entry points to this project. The entry from the service road of Highway 114 is opposite the main entry and is shared between two lots. The entry from White Chapel requires drivers to pass the main entry courtyard before entering the main parking area. Providing the canopy and building mount signage will help assist patron's in quickly locating building entry points. The Highway 114 building mounted signage provides necessary marketing / location signage that could otherwise be mounted to a monument sign along the 114 service road if there was not a conflict with the detention pond and existing underground public utilities. ?. That the situation causing the unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty is unique to the affected property and is not self imposed. The site entry locations were predetermined with the previous zoning, and they have specific alignments required by adjacent developments or distances from street intersections. The building location had to account for those alignments while providing adequate fire lane circulation throughout the site and access to the adjacent corner lot. A monument sign along 114 cannot be provided due to conflicts with underground public utilities and the required detention pond. That the variance will not injure and will be wholly compatible with the use and permitted development of adjacent properties. The purpose of the canopy sign variance request is to create a sign that is consistent with the architectural style of the building. Carillon Parc is adjacent to this development which has similar, but larger signage throughout that mixed use development. The signage package for this project would be a good neighbor and consistent with N White Chapel / Hwy 114. 4. That the variance will be in harmony with the spirit and purpose of the sign ordinance. The sign ordinance permits blade style signage and individually mounted non -illuminated signage. This request is similar to those requirements except that the wording "Lambert Home" would be applied to a structural steel, fixed canopy at the main entrance of the site. The ordinance does not permit "awning signs", but that appears to be intended for fabric style signs that would not have the same durability and longevity as what is being proposed. The sign proposed is identical in style to several in Southlake Town Square. Additionally, we believe the proposed building mounted signage is consistent with various developments in Southlake, but it also enhances the design of this project without being visually distracting or egregious. 1400 Main Street, Suite 310, Southlake, TX 76092 Phone: (817) 748-8215 Fax: (817) 748-8077 Revised January 2023 September 17, 2025 To: City of Southlake ARCHITECTURE Planning and Development Services UNDERGROUND 1400 Main Street, Suite 460 Southlake, TX 76092 817-748-8400 Re: Sign Variance Request Lambert Home Headquarters 1710 North White Chapel Blvd. Southlake, TX 76092 Lambert Home Headquarters (LHHQ) is located on a site with two street frontages, each with a shared access drive lane. The project also sits behind a corner lot that is not part of this project which fronts Highway 114. We took great care during the site and building design process to align the site access points with the adjacent developments, such as Carillon Parc, while respecting the required distances from street intersections. We were also careful to provide future access to the corner lot and maintain proper fire lane access throughout. In doing all this, the main entry to the building faces away from highway 114 and does not directly face the primary parking area that was required to provide sufficient parking for the development that is incorporated into the approved zoning ordinance. Therefore, we feel the needed signage for this project requires two variances as noted below. The site currently has 3 signs proposed. 1. Monument Sign (Refer to Sheet A2.03) There is a masonry monument sign at the northeast corner of the site adjacent to the drive approach at North White Chapel. This sign is approved and does not require a variance. Refer to sign permit No. SIGN 2025-0142. 2. Building Mounted Signage Facing Highway 114 (Refer to Sheet A2.04) There will be individually -mounted non -illuminated signage applied to the second story dormer element facing highway 114. We believe it to comply with the "Freeways" section on the table in section 7.2 of the sign ordinance but believe a variance is required to comply with the quantity of signs and location of the signage being on the dormer element. Please note, we are unable to provide a monument sign at the drive approach along Highway 114 due to the detention pond and underground utilities. Additionally, the corner lot at Hwy 114 and N White Chapel is owned by a separate company. Future development would block views to the Lambert's building. These factors lead to a variance request. 3. Canopy Mounted Signage Facing the Site Courtyard (Refer to A2.05) A request is being made to permit the proposed canopy mounted sign facing the internal courtyard as shown on sheet A2.05. The sign is intended to direct patrons to the main entry of the building due to the main parking lot being adjacent to the building and not in direct line of site. As noted above, the circulation and parking were driven by the location of the drive approaches and, the requirement to provide access to the corner lot. While the sign ordinance does not permit "awning signage", we believe the canopy signage to be significantly different in that it will be mounted to a structural steel structure which is much more durable and permanent. The type of signage being proposed is consistent with multiple businesses in Southlake Town Square such as Travis Mathew, Aritzia, and bluemercury. Please note, the renderings included with the drawings were presented to P&Z and City Council during the zoning approval process. We understand that the zoning approval did not include the signage shown. We simply highlight that no concerns about the signage were voiced during those efforts. S.
