Item 9C Department of Planning & Development Services S T A F F R E P O R T April 28, 2010 CASE NO: SV10-007 PROJECT: Sign Variance for Fat Daddy’s Burger House EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Fat Daddy’s Burger House is requesting a variance to the Sign Ordinance 704, as amended, to allow the placement of an additional attached sign (logo) which will exceed set area regulations. The location is 410 W. Southlake Boulevard, Suite 160. REQUEST DETAILS: This location falls under a conditional sign permit SP06-362, as amended, for Bicentennial Retail Plaza which allowed for maximum letter height of 24 inches on the front elevation attached signs and 18 inches on the rear elevation attached signs; and keeping some uniformity of fonts and colors. However, the conditional sign permit does not address allowed area for an attached sign or maximum logo height so the regulations default back to Sign Ordinance 704-D. The applicant is requesting variances to maximum area for attached signs facing Southlake Boulevard and maximum logo height permitted. Currently, the existing sign area measures 37.3 square feet; a maximum of 40 feet is allowed by ordinance. The proposed logo sign measures 11 square feet bringing the proposed total area square footage to 48.3. The proposed logo height is 33 inches (138% of max letter height); a maximum height of 30 inches (125% of max letter height) is allowed by ordinance. The specific variance is as follows: Sign Regulation Current Regulation Proposed Sign Maximum Area for For a lease space width of The existing sign area on an attached sign that 31 feet – 50 feet, sign area this building is 37.3 square faces Regional per 1 linear foot of lease feet; the proposed logo sign Boulevards (FM space = 0.80.
