FROM REGULAR 2000-02 - Staff was asked if they had come up with MARCH 27 any alternatives to provide for these type of banners AGENDA in the City, since seasonal banners are also used by the City. The City Manager advised that if the banners were not for advertising, the Council might want to direct that an amendment be prepared to the ordinance that will allow for seasonal types of banners. The Mayor suggested that in addition to considering seasonal banners, the Council might also want to consider an ordinance that would allow businesses that are affected by road construction some considerations such as pennants, portable signs, etc. Staff was directed during the regular Council meeting to prepare for the Council's consideration an amendment to the Sign Ordinance that would allow for banners of this type by businesses and to provide for the regulation of the condition of the banners. Agenda Item No. 17 - GN 2000-28 - There was Randy/Tom S. concern expressed that "reasonable deposit" should be a specific amount. It was felt that if the deposit varied between groups, it might be looked upon as being discriminatory. Staff advised that the deposit would be based on the size of the group and the impact the group would have on city services. The Council approved the ordinance during the regular Council meeting with clarification that the deposit be based on the size of gathering and projected impact on municipal services such as security, and for the repair of any damage to city property, or the cost of cleanup, or both.

(PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH RICHLAND BOULEVARD AND DAVIS BOULEVARD AT 5701 DAVIS BOULEVARD) APPROVED Mr. Joe Wilkinson, representing applicant, summarized request. Ms. Marcy Ratcliff, Director of Planning, addressed request as it relates to city codes and ordinances and summarized recommendations of staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Councilman Trevino noted that the neighbors who live along the back of this property seem to have driveways and access to their backyards through this property. What is going to happen to their access. Ms. Ratcliff advised Council that the access to the neighbors' backyard would be up to the individual property owners and the owner of the property, as the gates are on the applicant's property. Mayor Scoma clarified that a 6 foot screening fence would be erected on the back of the property. Councilman Trevino advised that is the reason why he raised the question; the individual property owners will not have access to their backyards. Ms. Ratcliff advised Council that the access in question is to storage buildings and not garages. Mayor Scoma believes the issue raised by Councilman Trevino is the reason why residents impacted by either a site plan or zoning should be notified so they have an opportunity to speak on the issue. If this is not in our current procedures than we have to get it incorporated. City Council Minutes March 27, 2000 Page 5 Mr. Wilkinson advised Councilman Trevino in this particular area there are no driveways that back into that alley. The screening wall is going along the back so none of the neighbors will be affected. Councilman Trevino also advised applicant that he and Steve Norwood attended a meeting at the mobile home community off Mockingbird. The residents major concern is the traffic at the offset of Mockingbird and North Richland Boulevard. It is difficult when someone is turning left onto Mockingbird going east on Mockingbird or going west on North Richland Boulevard. Have we taken that intersection into consideration and the affect this is going to have on that intersection. Ms. Ratcliff advised Council that the Public Works department reviewed the driveways and recommended the applicant place the driveways where they are shown on the site plan. The driveway along Davis Boulevard aligns with Mockingbird. Councilmen Mitchell suggested that Council look at the possibility of right-in and right- out. The city has a possibility of congestion at every corner where commercial property is constructed. Councilman Phifer moved to approve PZ 2000-02 as recommended by the Planning & Zoning Commission with the exception of the two-foot reservation, and the right-of-way to be dedicated on the plat and shown on the site plan. Councilman Milano seconded the motion.

SRC 2000-03 - PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF HARWOOD GRAPEVINE L TD TO VARY FROM THE SIGN REGULATIONS FOR CANOPY SIGNS ON LOT 5, BLOCK 1, WALKER BRANCH ADDITION IN A C1-COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. (PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8405 HARWOOD ROAD) APPROVED Mr. Marshall Merritt, applicant, asked Council to look at the sign ordinance and asked for Council's interpretation of wall signs. He asked the Council to consider if the letter and logos on the gas structure covering the gas dispensers fall under a wall sign or canopy sign. He believes it falls under a wall sign. If it is determined to be a canopy sign then he respectfully requests a variance to the canopy definition. Texaco's have 30" letters and 33" logos that are standard. Ms. Ratcliff advised Council that Mr. Merritt asked for an interpretation request from the sign review board. It is staff's opinion that this is considered a canopy sign and he must meet the regulations of the canopy size of the letters and logos. Councilman Mitchell asked what the difference if any was between this sign and any other sign in the city. Ms. Ratcliff advised Council this is the first gas station that has come in for a permit that falls under the new sign regulation ordinance passed in March of 1999. It is her understanding that the Land Use Ad-Hoc Committee specifically looked at canopy signs. Staff feels we interpreted the ordinance correctly. She sees how Mr. Merritt can see the way the ordinance is written it could be construed as a wall sign. Mayor Pro Tem Johnson asked if Staff has taken into consideration how much lettering is allowed on the canopy sign. She does not want the canopy sign to be used as a marketing tool for the store. Councilman Metts believes Council should approve the request for variance and Staff revisit the Sign Ordinance. Mayor Scoma opened the public hearing and asked for anyone wishing to speak to come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Scoma closed the public hearing. Mr. Cunningham asked Marcy if this canopy letters are allowed will this also allow an additional wall sign on their building. Ms. Ratcliff advised Mr. Cunningham that applicant would be allowed a wall sign. Mayor Scoma is concerned that Texaco has a small number of letters and emblem. If Council approves larger letters, than Mayor Pro Tem Johnson's point was now the City Council Minutes March 27, 2000 Page 8 applicant can advertise on the canopy sign. He believes that is what concerned the Land Use Ad-Hoc Committee. The size of letter is dictating rather than the amount of verbiage on the canopy. Ms. Ratcliff advised Council that the sign regulation specify that on a canopy 50% of that area can be covered with a sign. Based on that area the letters on the canopy can not exceed 12" and the logo can not exceed 16" in height. Mayor Pro Tem Johnson moved to approve SRC 2000-03 with the provisions that only the name and logo are permitted on the canopy sign with the letters at 33" and the logo at 30". Councilman Welch seconded the motion. Mayor Pro Tem Johnson requested that staff looks at the ordinance and bring back to Council for clarification and changes. Motion to approve carried 7-0. 13.

His company is converting the old outlet mall into a new office project with the health club remaining. He is happy to report that they are close to having the project leased that would provide about 1200 jobs. They bought the property last fall and since that time have been working with the Economic Development Department trying to make sure they followed all the rules and regulations. They were advised that a new landscaping ordinance was in effect when submitting for their building permit application. They have added extensive landscaping but it does not comply with the ordinance. Mr. Michael Kendall landscape architect for applicant advised Council that they are seeking variances to the landscape area percentage and the landscaping of parking lots. They have agreed to additional landscaping in the island and to raise the island on the drive to concentrate the vehicular traffic. Councilman Trevino asked what they were going to use for the raised curb. Mr. Kendall advised Council that it was going to be a solid concrete island.
