Staff Analysis:
The C-3 zoned property located at 3519 Old Cantrell Road is occupied by a restaurant which is located along the eastern portion of the lot with parking areas along the west and south
sides of the property .
The applicant is proposing to locate a new 78 square foot metal sign upon the south roof area of the building to increase visibility of the business from Cantrell Road to the southwest.
The applicant states the sign will be approximately 43-inches in height and 271-inches in length with 9-inch anchoring brackets extending to the roof structure of the rear portion of
the building.
Section 36-543 of the City’s Zoning Ordinance prohibits Roof Signs, or any sign that is not mounted on a vertical surface. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance to allow
the proposed roof mounted sign on the south building roof area, which has street frontage along Cantrell Road.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance and views the request as reasonable. The proposed roof mounted sign on the south building roof area will be visible by northbound traffic
on Cantrall Road located along the southwest perimeter of the property. Staff believes the proposed signs are proportionally small in nature and should have no adverse impact on the
adjacent properties.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested variance to allow a roof mounted sign with minimal street frontage, subject to the descriptions and any conditions contained in the “staff
analysis”.
