CASE NO:
Conditional Sign Permit for East Southlake No. 2, Ltd.
PROJECT:
REQUEST: The building is located at 910 E. Southlake Boulevard. The conditional sign permit
proposes five attached signs on south façade of the building facing E. Southlake
Boulevard, one for each tenant space within the building. Only one tenant actually
has frontage on this façade, therefore only one attached sign is permitted. The
specific variance would allow four additional signs on the façade facing E. Southlake
Boulevard and is as follows:
Sign Reg. Permitted Requested
Number of Signs 1 sign per street frontage 5 signs
per lease space
The elevations showing the signage are representative only. The applicant fully
intends to comply with letter size and remain within the middle 75% of the façade
panel. Additionally, all lettering is to be consistent in color and font.
The monument sign and the signage shown on the east and north facades generally
comply with the sign ordinance.
ACTION NEEDED: Consider Conditional Sign Permit approval

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER/APPLICANT: Angelo Mendez, M.D., for East Southlake No. 2, Ltd.
PROPERTY SITUATION: The property is located at 910 East Southlake Boulevard.
REQUEST: The applicant is requesting to allow signs on the south façade facing E.
Southlake Boulevard for lease spaces that do not have street frontage on E.
Southlake Boulevard. The applicant is proposing one sign per individual
tenant, for a total of no more than five signs on the south side of the building
facing E. Southlake Boulevard.
STAFF COMMENTS: The sign criteria, building elevations, site plan and applications are attached
to this report. The following conditions are requested:
Ord. 704-C, Section 7.2 SIGN REGULATIONS: one sign per individual
tenant, for a total of no more than five signs on the south side of the
building facing E. Southlake Boulevard.
Each lease or tenant space shall be permitted only one attached building
sign per street front with a maximum of two signs per tenant/lease space.
The City Council may authorize a Conditional Sign Permit in accordance with
the following provisions of the Sign Ordinance No. 704-C, Section 9,
Conditional Sign Permit:
GENERAL
: Notwithstanding anything in this ordinance to the contrary, the
erection of a sign or signs may be approved pursuant to this section under a
conditional sign permit approved by the City Council. The purpose of this
section is to allow for a specialized review of signs which may not be
appropriate generally without certain restrictions, but which, if controlled as to
the number, size, height, color, location, lighting, or relation to adjacent
properties, would promote the health, safety, and welfare of the community.
Conditional permitting of signs shall not be based upon the content of the
sign, but is intended to allow for the evaluation of the physical impact of the
proposed sign on adjacent properties and to ensure adequate mitigation of
potentially unfavorable factors, such as the number, size, height, color,
location, lighting, and other potentially unfavorable impacts.
