Re: Amendments to Code of Ordinances Ch. 5, Section 4 - Sign Regulations.
P&Z Commission Meeting, Thursday, February 5, 2015
Agenda Item:
Public hearing, discussion, and recommendation regarding amendments to the Town of Trophy
Club Code of Ordinances Ch. 5, Section 4 - Sign Regulations.
Explanation:
Town Council has tasked the P&Z Commission with reviewing the sign regulations in order to
develop more precise, understandable, and user friendly regulations for signage concerning
temporary signs, political signs, and real estate signs.
Since the Town is approaching an election cycle, the Town Council has requested the P&Z
Commission first address political signage in order to try and have the updated regulations in
place prior to the beginning of the upcoming election cycle. Changes to the sign ordinance
regulating political signage are requested to help candidates more easily understand the
regulations regarding political signage, and to make it more feasible for Town Staff to enforce
the regulations regarding political signage.
After the political signage regulations have been reviewed by the P&Z Commission and a
recommendation has been forwarded to Town Council, Council has requested that the P&Z
Commission review the sign regulations concerning temporary signs and real estate/builder
signs in order to provide a recommendation to the Council regarding those types of signs.
Attachments:
• Sign Ordinance Redlines from January 13, 2015 Town Council Meeting
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends changes to the sign ordinance that will provide clarification and direction to
residents, business owners, and Town Staff for policy and enforcement as recommended by the
P&Z Commission and approved by Town Council.

Section 4.09 Non -Conforming Uses
A. Any existing sign that does not conform to the regulations stated herein shall be deemed a
nonconforming sign and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11 — Maintenance of Signs of
this Article. It is the declared purpose of this Section 4.09 that nonconforming signs and signs
directing attention to nonconforming uses eventually discontinue and the signage comply with the
regulations stated herein, having due regard for the investment in such signs.
B. The Designated Official, after ten (10) days written notice to the Owner of the premises on which the
sign is located, shall have the authority to remove any nonconforming sign which either:
1. Was not permanently affixed to the ground on the effective date of this Article, or
2. Was erected in violation of a Town Code in effect at the time of its erection.
C. The Town Council may order nonconforming signs to be removed upon and subject to compliance

Section 4.10 Meritorious Exceptions and Appeals
A. In the development of these criteria, a primary objective has been ensuring against the kind of
signage that has led to low visual quality. On the other hand, another primary objective has been
the guarding against signage over -control.
B. It is not the intention of these criteria to discourage innovation. It is entirely conceivable that signage
proposals could be made that, while clearly nonconforming to this Article and thus not allowable
under these criteria, have obvious merit in not only being appropriate to the particular site or
location, but also in making a positive contribution, to the visual environment.
Upon request of an interested party, the Town Council, upon recommendation by the Planning and
Zoning Commission, shall hear and shall seriously and fairly consider a request for a meritorious
exception under this Section 4.11(B).
In order to determine the suitability of alternate materials and methods of construction and to provide
for reasonable interpretation of the provisions of this Article, the Town Council shall hear appeals
with respect to any actions of the Designated Official in the interpretation and enforcement of this
Article. Any such appeal shall be brought, by written application filed by an interested party, to the
Planning and Zoning Administrator within ten (10) days after the action of the Designated Official
which is the subject of the appeal. Enforcement of this Article shall be stayed pending such appeal.
In hearing such appeals, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall review the determination of the
Designated Official and, in doing so, may consider whether or not the regulations and standards of
this Article will, by reason of exceptional circumstances or surroundings, constitute a practical
difficulty or unnecessary hardship. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall forward a
recommendation to the Town Council, who shall act on the subject of the appeal. A decision of the
Council shall be final.

Re: Site Plan Requirements— Section 5.09 (B) 3
P&Z Commission Meeting, Thursday, February 5, 2015
Agenda Item:
Discussion and recommendation regarding amendments to the Town of Trophy Club's Code of
Ordinances, amending Chapter 13 -Zoning, Article V -Supplementary District Regulations, Section 5.09 (B)
3 -Site Plan Requirements, concerning authorized administrative approval of changes to a site plan.
Explanation:
Currently there is a regulation in the Town of Trophy Club's Code of Ordinances that allows the
administrative approval of changes to an approved site plan if it meets certain criteria by the Town's
Planning and Zoning Administrator. The Planning and Zoning Commission requested that this item be
placed on a future agenda in order to discuss this regulation. The provision of the ordinance reads as
follows:
3. Changes of details within a site plan which do not alter the basic physical relationship of the
property to adjacent property, do not alter the use permitted, increase the density, floor area,
height, or reduce the yards provided at the boundary of the site as indicated on the approved
site plan, may be authorized by the Town's Planning and Zoning Administrator. An aggrieved
party may appeal the decision of the Town's designee to the Zoning Board of Adjustment In
accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.
Staff Review:
Staff has researched a few surrounding municipalities' ordinances concerning the site plan approval
process as well as the provision to allow certain administrative actions that allow changes to approved
site plans. The staff findings are listed below:
Colleyville
D. Site Plan Approval Required — Where the property is zoned CPO, CN, CC, ML, SU, PUD -C, or PUD -I, a
site plan shall be submitted for review and approval to the Administrative Official prior to the issuance
of a building permit.
QnannkP•
Revisions to the Approved Site Plan.
(1) Minor revisions/amendment. It is recognized that final architectural and engineering design
may necessitate minor changes in an approved site plan. In such cases, the City Manage, or his/her
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 36 of 73 Meeting Date: February 5, 2015
designee shall have the authority to approve minor modifications to an approved site plan and which
shall be submitted as an "amended site plan" which substantially conforms to the previously
approved site plan, provided that such modifications do not significantly change traffic circulation,
building location(s) on the site, proximity of building(s) to nearby residential areas, increase the size
or height of building(s), or any other conditions specifically attached as part of the City Council's
approval of the site plan. Submission materials and requirements for approval of an amended site
plan shall be as determined by the City Manager or his/her designee. If the City Manager or his/her
designee refuses to approve an amended site plan, then the applicant shall re -submit the amended
site plan as a "revised site plan" as described in Subsection (2) below, whereupon the revised site plan
shall be scheduled for consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council.
Keller
D. Approval Process For Site Plans
1. Modified Site Plans for existing buildings or Site Plans for parking improvements may be
approved by the Development Review Committee if it meets all applicable requirements.
The DRC's decision may be appealed to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City
Council.
2. Site Plans within the Town Center (TC) Zoning District shall be approved by City Council
after a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission. All other site plans
shall be approved by the Director of Community Development and the City Manager or
his/her designee if it meets all applicable requirements of this Ordinance for development.
The City Manager's decision may be appealed to the Planning and Zoning Commission and
City Council. (Amended by Ord. No. 1515 on July 20, 2010)
3. If variances are requested, the Site Plan shall be considered by City Council after a
recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Based on the Development
Review Committee's review, staff will prepare a report and recommendation for the
Planning and Zoning Commission. Staff can recommend approval, conditional approval, or
denial based on the requirements of this Ordinance. A copy of this information and an
agenda for the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting at which the application will be
discussed will be available to the applicant on the Friday prior to that Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting. The Site Plan will be placed on a City Council agenda within thirty
(30) days following the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The applicant shall
submit one (1) collated and folded 24" x 36" copy and twelve (12) 11" X 17" reductions of
the Site Plan at least ten (10) days prior to the City Council meeting.
4. Prior to the City Council meeting, staff will provide to the applicant a copy of the staff
report and recommendations, and the City Council agenda. The City Council can approve,
approve with conditions, or deny a Site Plan. After the City Council approves a Site Plan,
if final architectural or engineering design necessitates minor changes in the approved Site
Plan, the changes may be approved by the Director of Community Development, provided
that they do not materially alter traffic circulation, building location, or any conditions
attached to the City Council's approval of the Site Plan.
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 37 of 73 Meeting Date: February 5, 2015
Southlake
40.6 ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION - On approval of the development plan or site plan by the City
Council, or the Administrative Staff, as appropriate, all necessary permits or certificates
authorized thereby may be issued.
a. Subsequent to such approval, minor changes may be authorized by the Administrative
Official when such minor changes will not cause any of the following circumstances to
occur:
1. A change in the character of the development;
2. An increase in the ratio of the gross floor areas in structures to the area of any lot;
3. An increase in the intensity of use;
4. A reduction in the originally approved separations between buildings;
5. An increase in the problems of circulation, safety, and utilities;
6. An increase in the external effects on adjacent property;
7. A reduction in the originally approved setbacks from property lines;
8. An increase in ground coverage by structures;
9. A reduction in the ratio of off-street parking and loading space to gross floor area in
the structures.
10. A change in the subject, size, lighting, flashing animation or orientation of originally
approved signs.
b. Any proposed amendment to a development plan or site plan, previously approved by
the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council, which in the opinion of the
Administrative Official does not meet the criteria of sub -paragraph 40.6a above may only
be approved by the City Council after a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning
Commission in accordance with the same notice and hearing requirements for zoning
changes as set forth in Section 46 of this ordinance.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the provision in Section 5.09 (B) 3 should still remain in the regulations for site
plan requirements. Staff believes there are certain minor changes to site plans that can be approved
administratively without requiring the applicant to take the plan back before the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the Town Council. Staff recognizes that there can be some language added to this
section that will provide a more clear set of guidelines or triggers when the Planning and Zoning
Administrator is considering such changes as requested by an applicant.

P&Z Commission Meeting, Thursday, February 5, 2015
Agenda Item:

wide garage sales events in Trophy Club in calendar year 2015. The Women's Club submitted a
"Temporary Use Application" and was given to the Community Development Department for

Chapter 13 -Zoning, Section 5.01 -Temporary Uses
E. Community Garage Sale by Special Privilege: Upon approval by the Town Council, after

of said Special Privilege shall be condition to prior approval of operations of the event and the
proposed locations of the garage sale sites by the Town Department of Public Safety.
The Spring garage sales event will be held on Saturday, April 11, 2015 and the Fall garage sales
event will occur on Saturday, October 10, 2015. No alternate rain dates have been planned or
requested. The Trophy Club Women's Club is requesting that the event be allowed from 7:00
a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for the above mentioned dates.

PP -14-027- Hillside Pointe
SUBJECT:
Discussion and recommendation regarding a request for a Preliminary Plat for
Hillside Pointe, Block A, Lots 1-33, CAI, CA2, and Block B, Lot 1; being a replat of
Lot 4, Block B, Trophy Wood Business Center, containing approximately 5.596
acres of land, located in the Town of Trophy Club, Tarrant County, Texas, and
being located in Planned Development No. 33.
REQUEST:
The applicant J. Volk Consulting, on behalf of Manna Land, LLC., is requesting approval
of a Preliminary Plat for Hillside Pointe, Block A, Lots 1-33, CAI, CA2, and Block B,
Lot 1.
LOCATION:
The subject property is located on the west side of Trophy Wood Dr., north of Plaza Dr.,
and south of Hanna Ct.
ZONING:
The subject property is zoned Planned Development No. 33 (PD -33), which was
approved by the Town Council on August 19, 2013. The zoning allows for single family
residential and associated uses. Prior to being rezoned to PD -33, the property was zoned
PD -26 and allowed for Medical General Hospital uses.
CURRENT CONDITIONS:
The subject property is currently undeveloped and is heavily covered with trees. The
adjacent properties have PD -25 — Commercial to the south and west, PD -14 — Single
Family Residential to the north, and the Town of Trophy Club/City of Southlake border
to the east along T.W. King Rd.
COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan designates this area as commercial/professional. This
request will provide an additional transitional zone of medium density residential to
create a land use buffer from the higher intensity land uses along HWY 114 and the low
density single family zoning to the north of the subject property.
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 44 of 73 Meeting Date: February 5, 2015
THOROUGHFARE PLAN:
The proposed request appears to be compatible with the Town's Thoroughfare Plan. No
changes are proposed to the existing street layout and all proposed streets in the
subdivision will be privately owned and maintained.
STAFF REVIEW:
The preliminary and final plats were reviewed in accordance with the approved
subdivision regulations as well as the approved development standards set forth in PD -
33. The development standards of PD -33 require that all lots be a minimum of 3,600 sf,
be a minimum of 40' in width at the front building line, and have a minimum depth of
90'. The applicant is proposing 33 single family residential lots and 2 open space lots.
The proposed lots appear meet the minimum requirements as required by the
development standards of PD -33.
The developer will be required to submit a tree survey and tree mitigation/protection plan
when they submit application for a final plat. Parkland dedication will also be addressed
at the time of the final plat.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The preliminary plat has been reviewed for compliance with the Town's Subdivision
Ordinance, as well as the Development Standards for PD -33. Staff recommends approval
with the following conditions:
• Staff recommends removing the B.L. Labels on the plat within dedicated
easements. This could cause unnecessary conflicts of information on the plat.
Staff recommends adding a note that states no buildings or structures are allowed
in a dedicated easement.
• Change the label on the cover sheet to reflect the following: Replace "Town
Manager: Mike Slye" to "Acting Town Manager: Stephen Seidel".
P&Z RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to table this request at their January 15,
2015 meeting. The Commission requested correcting calls in the legal description, adding
building line labels on all lots, providing a 5' wall maintenance easement on the south
property line, and providing clarification and more detail on the drainage coming onto the
development from the properties to the north.

Planning and Zoning Commission Page 50 of 73 Meeting Date: February 5, 2015
WHEREAS, upon performing the survey of the boundaries of the existing PD -26,
a 5.601 acre tract of land, for the purpose of providing a legal description for this
application to rezone PD -26 to PD -33, it was determined that PD -26 is actually a 5.596
acre tract of land; and
WHEREAS, this rezoning request to create PD -33 is a request to rezone the
entire boundaries of PD -26; and
WHEREAS, all legal notices, requirements and conditions having been complied
with, the case to rezone the Land came before the Planning and Zoning Commission;
and
WHEREAS, after public notices were given in compliance with State law and
public hearings were conducted, and after considering the information submitted at

a public hearing was held before Town Council at which the Town Council considered,
among other things, the character of the land and its suitability for particular uses, with a
view of encouraging the most appropriate use of land in the Town, and does hereby find
that the rezoning approved hereby accomplishes such objectives; and
WHEREAS, the proposed change is consistent with the intent of the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan which addresses the appropriateness of the location of
