Staff Analysis:
The C-4 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.
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".
