Request
A request for 1) a six foot variance from the maximum 24 foot tall freestanding pole sign height, as described in Section 28-239, to allow a sign 30 feet tall; 2) a 10 foot variance from the minimum 10 foot sign setback to allow a sign on the front property line, per Section 28-241(c)(1)(c).
Executive Summary
The applicant is requesting the proposed signage to advertise a Baskin Robbins/Dunkin' Donuts. The subject property has street frontage along San Pedro Avenue, identified as an Arterial Type B thoroughfare. Per Sections 28-239 and 28-241 of the San Antonio Sign Code, the tallest freestanding sign height permitted for a single-tenant Arterial Type B/Commercial Collector sign is 24 feet and includes a 10 foot minimum setback. The sign's design will consist of two cabinets, the lower of the two being as close as 17 feet from the ground. Should the sign comply with the allowed sign height, the lower sign would be 11 feet from the ground. The applicant has stated that taller sign heights are common along the corridor and the requested height will protect the sign from vandalism. Also, the site layout places restrictions on the location of the sign.
