Request
A request for a 20' variance from the maximum sign height of 60', as described in Chapter 28, Section 28-45, to allow a sign to be 80' tall.
Executive Summary
The subject property, currently vacant, is located adjacent to West Loop 1604 North on a 1.243 acre tract. The applicant is seeking to erect an 80' single tenant sign for a proposed McDonald's restaurant. The general topography of the site as well as adjacent properties along West Loop 1604 North is categorized as flat with no change in elevation from north to south.
Chapter 28, Section 28-45, requires a maximum single tenant sign height of 50' if located on streets classified as Expressway. Due to the elevated expressway adjacent to the subject property, the applicant is able to utilize a provision of Section 28-45 to allow an additional 10' of height, thereby allowing a maximum 60' sign height by right. Alternatively, the applicant can apply for an Administrative Exception which would allow 10% additional height, thereby giving a 6' height increase above the 60' maximum sign height for a 66' sign height.
The adjacent QuickTrip south of the subject property did not obtain a variance for their single tenant sign and followed Section 28-45 for a 60' sign height.
