Executive Summary
The subject property is a corner lot with frontage along Potranco Road and Stevens Parkway, within the City's Extra-Terratorial Jurisdiction. The surrounding area is occupied by commercial properties such as gas stations, food services, major thoroughfares and nearby residential lots. The applicant is seeking to erect a 55' tall, 240 square foot single tenant sign on the lot for a McDonald's. The applicant states concern of various topographical changes existing along Potranco Road, Stevens Parkway and the property itself to build a taller sign to attract customers to the area. There are multiple platted easements, drainage improvements causing the proposed sign to be located on the southern side of the subject property and be set back due to power lines. The sign will be oriented to Potranco Rd.
Chapter 28, Section 28-45, allows a maximum of 40 feet height to single tenant signs located on the street classified as Arterial Type A.
