D. 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.
DECEMBER 18, 2025 Z-10223
ITEM NO.: 1
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.
E. 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".

ITEM NO. 2 Z-1 D224
The site plan indicates that the existing 6.8 square foot deck extends northwest
from the residence occupying the center of the yard at the rear of the dwelling.
The applicant proposes to construct a 16.8 square foot wood frame deck screened
enclosure. The applicant states the new deck structure will extend an additional 10
feet into the rear yard area.
Section 36-254(d)(3) states "There shall be a rear yard setback having a depth of
not less than twenty-five (25) feet. "Therefore, the applicant is requesting a
variance to allow the extension of the primary structure into the rear yard area
reducing the setback to no less than 8-feet.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Staff views the requests as
reasonable. The reduction of rear yard area for the screened in deck structure is
similar to development patterns in the area. Staff believes that the requested
variance will have no adverse impact on the surrounding properties.
E. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback reduction from
twenty-five (25) feet to a minimum of 8 feet only at the portion of the property that
references the deck addition, with the following conditions:
1. A building permit being obtained for all construction
