monument signs to serve the overall site. The applicant is proposing to allow one (1)

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.
COUNCIL ACTION: Consider Conditional Sign Permit request.

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 crate an unnecessary hardship or
practical difficulty on the applicant.
There are 8 lots in "The Pavilion" and some Lots have no frontage or very limited
visibility to Southlake Blvd.
2. That the situation causing the unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty is unique to the
affected property and is not self imposed.
The situation is unique because of the depth of the property and the need for
knowing the location of the tracts.
3. That the variance will not injure and will be wholly compatible with the use and permitted
development of adjacent properties.
The Southlake Maket Place Shopping Center is west of the tract and has a sign
with multiple names.
4. That the variance will be in harmony with the spirit and purpose of the sign ordinance.
The overall appearance and style of the sign will be similar to the buildings being
built in the development.
