A request for a 22 foot variance from the minimum 150 ft spacing, as described in Section 28-241(c)(1), to allow two signs to be 128 feet apart.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located in the eastern section of the City, along the IH 10 East truck corridor. There are several businesses in the area designed to support the interstate trucking industry, including truck stops, truck repair, leasing and sales. The applicant has one such business which sells and repairs semi-trucks. The 8.2 acre site includes a 36,000 square foot building and signage which displays the brand names of their products but no sign which identifies the business name. The ideal location on the corner of their site along the freeway is only 128 feet from another sign, so they are requesting a variance.
