D. Staff Analysis:
The C-3 zoned property, located at 8023 Cantrell Road, is occupied by a drive-thru
coffee shop, 7Brew. The site is located on the south side of Cantrell Road near the
intersection of Foxcroft Road and Cantrell Road. The building is in the center of
the site, with dual paved drive-thru lanes circling the building.
The applicant has been approved for sign permits for wall signs on the north
(Cantrell Road) building facade. The applicant is proposing two (2) wall signs each
on both the east and west building facades. The proposed signs on the east and

west building facades will occupy less than ten (10) percent of their respective
facade areas. This complies with Section 36-555(a)(2)(a) of the Code.
Section 36-557(a) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires that all wall signs face
street frontage. Because of the reasons described in their cover letter, the
applicant is requesting a variance to allow the proposed wall signs on the east and
west 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 east and west building facades will
be visible by both eastbound and westbound traffic on W. Markham Street.
Therefore, the signs will aid in identifying the business. Additionally, the proposed
signs 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 (JUNE 15, 2023)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the
application to the Board and stated it recommended the sign variance be approved as
per the staff report. There was a consent motion to approve the application. The motion
was seconded. The application was approved on consent. The vote was 4 ayes, 0 nays,
1 absent.
