Request
A request for a 20' sign variance from the sign height maximum of 40', as described in Chapter 28, Section 28-45, to allow for 60' tall single-tenant sign.
Executive Summary
The subject property, currently undeveloped 1.3-acre lot, is located adjacent to North Foster Road that is classified as a Secondary Arterial Type A with 86' of Right of Way. The subject property is approximately 600' from closest point at rear of lot to IH-10E Expressway and just over 700' from the front of the property. The applicant is seeking to erect a 60' single-tenant sign for a proposed McDonald's restaurant.
Chapter 28, Section 28-45, requires a maximum single-tenant sign height of 40' if located on streets classified as Arterial Type A. The Code provides an Administrative exception and allows for an additional 10' to only expressway signage, which starts at 50'. The adjacent QuickTrip south of the subject property is permitted up to 50' with grade bonus up to 60' height due to Expressway frontage. There is varied topography along Foster Road and the Frontage Road access from IH-10 E creating visual hindrances.
