Sincerely, Tim Herndon, Development Manager TH/vh MARCH 18, 2020 9559 ITEM NO. 8 File No.: Z-9559 Owner: Centennial Bank Applicant: Little Rock Sign — Conway Sign Inc., Attn. Bob Whitehouse Address: 1301 Rebsamen Park Road Description: Ross Mauney Subdivision, Lots 1 and 2, Lot 2 Top Coat Subdivision Zoned: 1-2 Variance Requested: Variances are requested from the sign provisions of Section 36- 557 to allow wall signs without street frontage. Justification: The applicant's justification is presented as per the attached letter dated December 15, 202-0. Present Use: Under construction Proposed Use: Bank / Office STAFF REPORT A. Planning and Develo meat Civil Engine Comments: No Comment, B. Buffering and Landsca a Comments: No Comment. C. Building Codes Comments: No Comment. D. Staff Anal sis: The 1-2 zoned property located at 1301 Rebsamen Park Road was formerly occupied by the Dixie Cafe restaurant and now occupied by a three-story commercial bank building which is under construction. The property is located at the east side of Rebsamen Park Road between Cantrell and Cedar Hill Roads. The south property line is adjacent to a two-lane private drive that services several office buildings to the east of the subject property. The adjacent property to the north is occupied by the Town Pump bar / restaurant and liquor store while the properties to the west across Rebsamen Park Road are occupied with a Waffle House restaurant and parking lots that service a Boy Scouts of America facility and the Bank of England on the northeast corner of Rebsamen Park Road and Cedar Hill Road. A paved drainage channel borders the east property line with CDI Contractors office located on the other side of the stormwater culvert. MARCH 18, 2020 Z_9559 ITEM NO. 8 (CONS The new occupant of this commercial building (Centennial Bank) is requesting to install wall signs on the north, south, and east building elevations which are not adjacent to street frontage as required by code. The proposed north wall sign at the front of the building will indicate the name of the facility and be approximately thirty eight (38) feet in length and thirty-six (36) inches in height (114 square feet). In addition, a Centennial Bank logo is on the west portion of the north fagade approximately nine (9) feet in width and five (5) feet in height (45 square feet). A logo approximately twenty (20) feet in width and twelve (12) feet in height (240 square feet) is proposed for the south elevation facing the private drive and the east elevation facing the drainage channel and CDI contractors will replicate the proposed south elevation sign in size and style. Section 36-557(a) of the Municipal Code states, "All on -premises wall signs must face required street frontage except in complexes where a sign without street frontage would be the only means of identification for a tenant." The applicant has stated that the front of the building is not oriented towards the street. Therefore, a request is being made to place signage on the sides of the building that will be most visible to vehicular traffic. The applicant has indicated that a precedent has been set in this area for building signage that does not face the primary road. The Bancroft building facing Cantrell and serviced by the private drive at the south of the subject property has provided graphics on each of the four sides of the building facing all directions of approaching vehicles. The proposed wall signs conform with guidelines for building mounted signs in all respects, with exception of the north, south, and east orientations adjacent to the surrounding private properties rather than public streets. Except for the west side of the building adjacent to Rebsamen Park Road, vehicular traffic approaches the building from either the north, south or east with Rebsamen Park Road only participating as an access to onsite parking. The applicant stated the existing circulation routes to the site imply the need for proposed wall signs which will be visible to this approaching traffic. Based on the above assessment and analysis, staff finds the requested variances to conform to established sign patterns throughout the surrounding area. E. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested wall mounted signs as specified in the submitted plans and elevations. 2 MARCH 18, 2020 Z_9559 ITEM NO. 8 CaN'T.
