CASE NO: SV11 -007
PROJECT: Sign Variance for Pawl's Pets
REQUEST: Thomas Corporate Enterprises, dba Pawl's Pets, is requesting a variance to Sign
Ordinance No. 704 as amended for maximum letter height and maximum logo
height for an attached sign. Pawl's Pets is located at 2225 West Southlake
Boulevard, Suite 465 in the Southlake Marketplace shopping center. Pawl's Pets
will be occupying a portion of the former Blockbuster lease space.
The applicant is requesting one attached sign on the north elevation with a
maximum letter height of 24 inches and a maximum logo height of 20 inches.
Although the north elevation faces West Southlake Boulevard, there are buildings
in front of the lease space that block full visibility from West Southlake Boulevard.
For this reason, the sign is subject to the requirements for signs facing internal
driveways or parking aisles rather than the requirements for signs facing Southlake
Boulevard.
Below is a summary of the requested variances:
