CASE NO: SV26-0003
PROJECT: Sign Variance for The Designery
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: DTP Cabinetry Southlake LLC is seeking approval for variances from Sign
Ordinance No. 704, as amended, to permit a wall sign and a banner for The
Designery, located at 525 S Nolen Drive, Unit 200.
REQUEST: DTP Cabinetry Southlake LLC is requesting approval of variances for two signs: a
wall sign (Sign A) and a temporary banner sign (Sign B).
Sign A: A variance is required because the proposed wall sign exceeds the
maximum allowed letter height, sign width, and overall sign area. Additionally, the
sign would extend into an adjacent lease space.
Sign B: A variance is requested to allow the existing temporary banner to remain
displayed for an additional 60 days from the date of variance approval, while the
applicant completes installation of the wall sign. Current regulations limit banner
signs to a 15-day display period, with new businesses allowed an additional 15-day
grand opening banner, for a maximum of 30 days. A banner permit has been issued
for March 26, 2026, through April 25, 2026. Without approval of the requested
extension, the tenant will be required to remove the banner at the end of the
permitted period.
