The site is located at 5198 Rufe Snow Drive. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow a 208-square-foot 29-foot tall pole sign on the property. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The site under consideration is The Shoppes at Crown Point shopping center, located at the southeast corner of Rufe Snow Drive and Dick Lewis Drive. The buildings on the property are being renovated as part of the Business Improvement and Growth (BIG) Program. The shopping center includes multiple properties covering approximately 23 acres, with a tenant mix of office, retail, service uses, and restaurants, as well as WinCo Food and Floor & Decor. As part of the work on the site, the owner proposes to construct a new pole sign on Rufe Snow Drive. There is an existing pole sign associated with the shopping center located on property at 5142 Rufe Snow Drive. While the date of construction for the sign cannot be determined, it has existed on the site since at least 1990 according to aerial photographs. At that time, pole signs were allowed on all nonresidential properties. However, since 2002, pole signs are only permitted in the freeway overlay zone. The freeway overlay zone allows pole signs within 200 feet of the right-of-way of NE Loop 820 and Airport Freeway. The sign location under consideration is approximately 150 feet south of the intersection of Rufe Snow Drive and Dick Lewis Drive, and over 900 feet from the highway right-of-way. At this location, only monument signs are permitted. The owner is seeking variance to allow a pole sign on the property. The variance application and supporting materials are attached. The materials include a copy of the application explaining the reasoning for the variance request and other relevant documents. An analysis of the request and relevant code is below. NORTH RI HLAND HILLS ANALYSIS The variance request is related to standards for pole signs in the freeway overlay zone, which are contained in C21.i.on ,I„OCR„-,12. of the sign regulations. This section permits pole signs only in the freeway overlay zone, an area within 200 feet of the right-of-way of NE Loop 820 and Airport Freeway. Pole signs must not exceed 65 feet in height.

DESCRIPTION Installing a 28'-9"illuminated pylon sign 1. List the pertinent section(s) of the Sign Regulations and indicate the specific interpretation(s), variance(s),or nonconforming use exception(s)being requested. When speaking with Chad in the sign department,he stated that with the height we presented,it would require Sign Review Board approval. 2. State the grounds for the request and detail any special conditions that cause hardships that in your opinion justify the variances or exceptions being requested. Explain any unique circumstances, if applicable,not considered by the Sign Regulations. The challenging circumstance is that when this property was originally developed, a pylon sign was approved with a limited number of tenant panels. Over the years as the property was divided up, the sign panels were assigned to the properties conveyed. Based on this, there is inadequate signage for the tenants in 5198 Rufe Snow Drive. This has caused extensive vacancies—with some lasting over a decade. In order to maintain a higher level of occupancy and attract quality tenants, having brand presence on Rufe Snow Drive is critical. We are requesting for the tenants to each have a sign panel with street frontage to ensure that the businesses will come and that they will be successful in the center.

Downloaded from https://ecode360.com/NO6898 on 2025- NORTH KI HLAND HILLS SIGN REVIEW BOARD MEMORANDUM FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: August 11, 2025 SUBJECT: SRB25-0020 Public hearing and consideration of a request from Five Star Parks & Attractions for a variance to Chapter 106 (Signs) of the North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances at 8651 Airport Freeway, being 11.515 acres described as Lot 2R1, Block A, Richland Oaks Addition PRESENTER: Clayton Husband, Principal Planner SUMMARY: Five Star Parks &Attractions is requesting a variance to Chapter 106 (Signs) of the North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances. The site is located at 8651 Airport Freeway. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow a 200-square-foot electronic message sign to be added to an existing pole sign on the property. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The site under consideration is Malibu Jack's, located at 8651 Airport Freeway. The property is generally located northeast of the Bedford Euless Road and Strummer Drive intersection. Malibu Jack's, an indoor theme park, opened in June 2025 in a 137,000- square-foot space formerly occupied by At Home. There is an existing pole sign on the property, which was constructed in 1992 for the original tenant of the building. The existing sign is 45 feet tall with a sign area of 400 square feet. In March 2025 a sign permit was issued to reface the message area on the sign for Malibu Jack's. The sign is located in the freeway overlay zone, which allows pole signs within 200 feet of the right-of-way of NE Loop 820 and Airport Freeway. Pole signs must not exceed 65 feet in height, with an allowed sign area of two square feet per linear foot of freeway frontage up to a maximum size of 400 square feet. A new sign permit application was submitted in May 2025, which proposes to add a 200- square-foot electronic message sign to the existing sign. As part of the review of the proposed sign, it was noted that the addition of the electronic sign would result in the overall sign area exceeding the maximum allowed sign area of 400 square feet. Modifications to the sign were considered to comply with the standards. However, the owner ultimately decided to seek a variance to allow the sign as proposed. The variance application and supporting materials are attached. The materials include a copy of the application explaining the reasoning for the variance request and other relevant documents. An analysis of the request and relevant codes is below. NORTH RI HLAND HILLS ANALYSIS The variance request is related to standards for pole signs in the freeway overlay zone, which are contained in C21.i.on ,I„OCR„-,12. of the sign regulations. This section permits pole signs only in the freeway overlay zone, an area within 200 feet of the right-of-way of NE Loop 820 and Airport Freeway. Pole signs must not exceed 65 feet in height. The allowed sign area is two square feet per linear foot of freeway frontage up to a maximum size of 400 square feet. The applicant proposes adding a 200- 16ffuiudulhf �� diryiiiNllliid��ll)�ll square-foot electronic message sign to the existing sign. The proposed sign design is shown in the exhibit (right). The electronic sign is 10 feet tall and 20 feet wide and would be added below the existing sign message area. Additional sign exhibits are attached. ailai�u I ,Iy .� I The lot has 40 feet of freeway frontage at the drive approach, which is a shared access with the adjacent building to the west. However, the property widens to 215 feet behind the adjacent building. A survey of the property is attached for reference. The request is being processed as a variance application, which would waive certain sign standards for the property. The Board may include appropriate conditions as part of the approval of a variance request. The affirmative vote of four Board members is required to approve a variance. A public hearing is required for consideration of a request for variance. Notice of the public hearing was published in the newspaper and mailed to all owners of real property within 200 feet of the site. OPTIONS FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION The Sign Review Board has the following options on this application. 1. Approve the variance as presented. This action would approve variances to the sign standards for ground signs and allow the sign sign to be constructed as presented. 2. Approve the variance with conditions. This action would approve variances to the sign standards for ground signs, subject to the owner making modifications to the size, location, or design as directed by the Board. 3. Deny the variance. This action would require the sign to be built in compliance with ground sign standards.
