PROJECT: Sign Variance for Magic Texaco
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY:
REQUEST
DETAILS:
On behalf of Faisal Khan, All Star Signs is requesting variances to the height, area
and setback regulations of the Sign Ordinance No. 704 -F for a gasoline pricing
monument sign located at Magic Texaco service station; 110 W. Southlake
Boulevard, Southlake, Texas.
Magic Texaco is located at the northwest corner of White Chapel Boulevard and
West Southlake Boulevard. The nonconforming ground (pole) sign previously
located on the subject property was hit due to an automobile accident that
occurred in May of this year which caused destruction of the sign to the point that
only a single support column remained. Under the current sign ordinance, such
pole structures are no longer permitted. Pursuant to Section 5.1 of Sign Ordinance
No. 704 -F, any legal, nonconforming sign shall be deemed as completely
destroyed if the cost of repairing the sign is greater than 60% of the cost of
erecting a new sign.
On August 7, 2012, the City Council upheld the city administrator's decision
regarding the damaged sign and the applicant is now moving forward with their
proposed variances.
The specific variances requested are as follows:
