(kcf) - 2 - PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEMORANDUM From: The Office of the Planning and Zoning Coordinator Date: 5-18-2006 Subject: Agenda Item No.B.1 Discuss and take appropriate action relative to: A request for an amendment to the signage requirements for tract 4B of The Village at Trophy Club, more specifically designated as 99 Trophy Club Drive, the Executive Suites. (PDAMD-06-021) Purpose: To conduct a public hearing relative to a request to amend the signage requirements for tract 4B of The Village at Trophy Club, more specifically designated as 99 Trophy Club Drive, the Executive Suites. Existing Condition of the Property: The property is currently zoned PD-13. The uses designated for this site are Office/Commercial. The site consists of approximately 1.8 acres, and contains a 19,000 square foot office building built in 1996. History: Planned Development No. 13, The Village at Trophy Club, was approved for zoning in November of 1995. At that time, interior illuminated signage was not approved for the retail buildings along State Highway 114, the bank use fronting Trophy Club Drive, or the office building which is the subject of this amendment request. Since the adoption of PD-13, illuminated signage has been approved for the retail uses along State Highway 114, as well as the bank use. Staff Findings: The location of the proposed directory board sign will remain in the current location, as designated on the approved site plan for the property. Additional height will be added to the column pillars and the face of the sign will be replaced with a steel frame and aluminum skin. The majority of the tenants will have an individual, removable panel listing their business. The lettering will be vinyl. The request for signage amendment is consistent with the signage on the surrounding properties. Staff recommends approval of the request for signage amendment. 5/4/06 P&Z Meeting: Due to discrepancies with the dimensions of the proposed sign, the Commission tabled action on this item. Backup includes the revised submission from the applicant. - 3 - DATE: May 10, 2006 TO: Kerin Fleck Trophy Club Planning & Zoning FROM: Marge Carpenter Trophy Club Executive Suites SUBJ: Signage Variance Signs Overall width Overall height Distance from Street 1st Financial Bank 10’6” (126”) 4’0” (48”) 19’2” Methodist Church 12’0” (144”) 8’8” (104”) 20’4” TCES Existing 10’0” (120) 3’9” (45”) 18’0” Proposed new sign: TC Executive Suites 11’6” (138”) 6’11” (83”) 15’ • If the spaces were any smaller the lettering would be too small to read from the street. • If the sign were shorter we would lose 2 spaces for tenant names. • Moving the sign a little closer to the street (placing it at the edge of the berm) would move it past the large tree and enable it to be seen from both directions. • Please see diagram below. - 4 - - 5 - - 6 - TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS ORDINANCE NO. 2006-__P&Z AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 95-20 OF THE TOWN, THE SAME BEING PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT NO. 13, GENERALLY KNOWN AS THE VILLAGE AT TROPHY CLUB, BY AMENDING EXHIBIT C, DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, TO ADD SECTION A 4.(f), ENTITLED TRACT 4B SIGNS, AND REGULATING SIGNS LOCATED WITHIN TRACT 4B AS FOLLOWS: PROVIDING REGULATIONS FOR A DIRECTORY SIGN, BANNERS AND TEMPORARY SIGNS, INSTALLATION AND ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL SIGNAGE; PROVIDING FOR WAIVERS OR EXCEPTIONS TO THESE REGULATIONS; PROVIDING THAT SUCH TRACT OF LAND SHALL BE USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ALL OTHER APPLICABLE ORDINANCES OF THE TOWN; PROVIDING A CUMULATIVE CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR SAVINGS; PROVIDING SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING A PENALTY NOT TO EXCEED THE SUM OF TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,000.00) FOR EACH OFFENSE AND A SEPARATE OFFENSE SHALL BE DEEMED COMMITTED EACH DAY DURING OR ON WHICH A VIOLATION OCCURS OR CONTINUES; PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION; PROVIDING FOR ENGROSSMENT AND ENROLLMENT; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
