STAFF REPORT
A. Public Works Issues:
No Comments
B. Staff Analysis:
The C-3 zoned property at 10425 Stagecoach Road is occupied by a branch bank
facility which was recently constructed. The property is located at the northeast
corner of Stagecoach Road and Otter Creek Road. There are subdivision access
roads located along the north and east property lines. Access to the branch bank
facility is from the subdivision access roads.
As part of the bank development, the applicant is proposing wall signs on all four (4)
sides of the building. There are currently wall signs on the north, south and west
building facades. The sign on the north fagade consists of the Metropolitan Bank
eagle logo. The applicant also proposes to place a sign on the east building fagade
which will match the existing sign on the west (front) fagade. All of the wall signs are
under 10 percent of the building fagade area for each side of the structure.
Section 36-557(a) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires that all on -premise wall
signs face required street frontage except in complexes where a sign without street

frontage would be the only means of identification. Therefore, the applicant is
requesting a variance to allow the wall signs on the east and north building facades
with no public street frontage.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Staff feels the request is reasonable.
Although there are not public streets along the north and east property lines, there are
access drives along these property lines which will serve the remainder of the
subdivision. These drives will essentially function as public streets. Therefore, staff
feels that it will be appropriate to have wall signs on the east and north facades, and
that these signs will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the overall
subdivision.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested sign variance, subject to permits being
obtained for all signs.
