Item 10ACity of Southlake Department of Planning STAFF REPORT August 30, 2006 CASE NO SP 06 -384 P ROJECT: Sign Variance for Compass Bank REQUEST: This is a variance request from the Gateway Plaza Phase II (Wyndham Plaza) Conditional Sign Permit regulations for monument signs. The subject property is located at the northwest corner of East Southlake Boulevard and Nolen Drive. The address is 2650 East Southlake Boulevard. The applicant is requesting one single - tenant monument sign along East Southlake Boulevard near the intersection with Nolen Drive. The proposed sign height, sign area, setback, and sign materials comply with Sign Ordinance No. 704 -B. A variance is necessary because the Conditional Sign Permit for Gateway Plaza Phase II does not allow for additional single- tenant monument signs along Southlake Boulevard. The Gateway Plaza Phase II Conditional Sign Permit was revised in 2004 to allow the following monument signs: Location o Multi - tenant Monument Sin Number S.H. 114 1 Southlake Boulevard 3 Due to the allowance for multi - tenant signs, single tenant monument signs are no longer permitted along Southlake Boulevard for this development. In addition to the multi - tenant monument signs, there are several single- tenant monument signs in the existing development that are indicated in Attachment C. Approval of a variance is needed to receive a sign permit for this sign. ACTION NEEDED: Consider variance request.
