BACKGROUND/SUMMARY OF ITEM
The Sign Ordinance describes in Section 3.1407 the allowable signage in Business and Agricultural
Zoning Districts. Businesses are permitted to have both attached and detached signage. The Sign
Ordinance does not permit attached signage to be placed above the roof line. (§3.1407 a 2)
Staff has received requests for increasing the allowable signage for properties near the intersection of
Interstate 35 and FM 455, but not directly fronting either thoroughfare. At the worksession on October
1, Staff presented the idea to City Council to expand the signage allowance within an area around the I-
35 & FM 455 intersection for properties that do not front directly oil either thoroughfare.
Staff has drafted the following potential amendments to the Sign Ordinance, based on Council direction
so far.
1. Create a Regional Commercial District: Shown on the attached map, these sign allowances
would apply only to this area. Roughly the area is from 101h Street to Acker Street, and Pecan
Street
to the 5th Street— I-35 merge.
2. Properties that do not have frontage on either 1-35 or FM 455 would be permitted to install
signage to a maximum of 10 feet above the roof or the height of the parapet, whichever is
greater.
3. Businesses would also be permitted to place the detached non -pylon signage they are permitted
on an adjacent site that fronts on either thoroughfare with the agreement of the owner.
STAFF OPTIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Staff is requesting direction from City Council concerning the idea of expanding the commercial
signage options for businesses near the Interstate 35 and FM 455 intersection
