CASE NO: SV10 -027
PROJECT: Sign Variance for Stratfort Gardens Office Park, 435 & 445 W. Southlake
Boulevard
REQUEST: Terra /Stratfort Office, L.P. is requesting a variance to the Sign Ordinance 704, as
amended, Section 9.2, to allow the construction of an off -site multi- tenant monument
sign along Southlake Boulevard prior to development of the fronting Lot (Lot 17)
located at 435 W. Southlake Blvd., in Stratfort Gardens Office Park.
On January 19, 2010, the site plan for Goddard School (Lot 18) and a concept plan for
a single -story retail building (Lot 17) were approved. The development of Lot 17 will
require separate site plan approval at a later date yet to be determined. Because the
Sign Ordinance states that no sign permit shall be issued unless a Certificate of
Occupancy or building permit has been issued, and Lot 17 has not been developed
yet, the applicant will need a variance approval to obtain the sign permit needed to
construct the proposed monument sign. The sign proposed meets all other sign
ordinance criteria.
ACTION NEEDED: Consider approval of sign variance request
