No issues related to this sign variance.
B. Staff Analysis:
Treasure Hill Pet Hospital is located on the 0-3 zoned
property at 1221 Breckenridge Dr. The owners of the clinic
propose to place a new ground -mounted sign on the property.
The sign, including the base, will be 10 feet tall and 64
square feet in area. The code limits ground -mounted signs
on office zoned properties to 6 feet in height and 64 square
feet in area. The applicants are requesting the additional
height to allow a message board to be incorporated into the
sign.
Staff believes the variance request is reasonable. The sign
is tastefully designed in a monument style.- The property is
located directly across from the large C-3 zoned
Breckenridge Village property and is two lots south of
Rodney Parham Road. There are many, larger=and taller signs
in the area. In 1984, a variance was granted allowing an

11 -foot tall monument sign to be placed on the 0-3 zoned
property adjacent to this site, at 1225 Breckenridge Drive.
Staff does not believe the proposed sign will have a
negative impact on adjacent properties. Again, the area of
the sign does not exceed that permitted in office zones and
the monument style design is appropriate for office -zoned
properties.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested sign height
variance subject to the sign being designed as proposed in
this application.
