B. Staff Analysis:
Coldwell Banker Advantage Realty is located in the building
on the 0-3 zoned property at 12015 Hinson Road. The
property was previously occupied by Coldwell Banker McKinney
and Company. The applicant proposes to replace the existing
ground -mounted sign that still names McKinney and Company.
The proposed new sign will be of monument design, 70 square
feet in area and a maximum of 8 feet in height. The code
limits ground -mounted signs in the office districts to 6
feet in height and 64 square feet in area.
Staff is supportive of the requested variances. Due to the
difference in elevation and the presence of utility
facilities and landscaping, the existing sign is difficult
to see from Hinson Road. Allowing the slightly larger and
taller sign may help visibility and should have no impact on

other properties. The proposed monument style sign will be
located 5 feet behind the property line, 25 feet from the
curb of the street. The sign will not create a sight
distance hazard for traffic entering or exiting the site.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested variances to
allow a 70 square foot sign with a maximum height of 8 feet
subject to the sign being designed in monument style as
shown on the rendering submitted with this application.
