Planning and Development Civil Engineering Comments: No comments required B. Landscape and Buffer Comments: No comments C. Building Codes Comments: No comments required D. Staff Analysis: The C-3 zoned property located at 17100 Chenal Parkway is occupied by a fast food restaurant (Whataburger) which is currently under construction. The proposed building will be located within the north half of the lot, with paved parking on the south and west sides of the building. Chenal Parkway is located along the west property frontage, with a commercial street located along the south property boundary. A paved drive-thru lane extends from the parking to drive-thru windows on the north side of the building. Shared access drives from Chenal Parkway and the commercial street to the south serve the property. DECEMBER 15, 2022 ITEM NO.: 2 CON'T. Z-8022-A The applicant received sign permits for wall signs on the west (Chenal Parkway) and south (commercial street) building facades and a ground sign along the Chenal Parkway frontage. The applicant is also requesting wall signs on the north and east sides of the building. The applicant is proposing two (2) wall signs on the north building facade and one (1) wall sign on the east building facade. The wall signs on the north building facade will be 15.3 square feet and 34 square feet in area. The wall sign on the east facade will be 15.3 square feet in area. The proposed signs on the north and east building facades will occupy far less than ten (10) percent of the facade areas. Section 36-557(a) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires that all wall signs face street frontage. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance to allow the proposed wall signs on the north and east building facades, which have no direct street frontage. Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Staff views the request as reasonable. The proposed wall signs on the north and east building facades will be visible by southbound traffic on Chenal Parkway and westbound traffic on the adjacent commercial street to the south respectively. Therefore, the signs will aid in identifying the business. Additionally, the proposed signs are very small in nature and should have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties. E. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested variance to allow wall signs without street frontage, subject to the descriptions and any conditions contained in the "staff analysis". Board of Adjustment (DECEMBER 15, 2022) The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the application to the Commission and stated it recommended to allow the wall signs without street frontage variance be approved with conditions as per the staff report. There was a consent motion to approve the application. The application was approved on consent. The vote was 4 ayes, 0 nays and 1 absent. 2
