HomeMy WebLinkAbout754-BADATE: June 18, 2020 TO: Board of Adjustment FROM: Katrina Purcell, Planner 1 SUBJECT: To consider a request to allow a Variance to the minimum sign size requirement of 20 square feet within the Urban Corridor Overlay District. STAFF REPORT Janet Glasscock of Brazo Sign Co., for Beauparte Apartments, has applied for a Variance to the minimum sign size requirement of 20 square feet and the minimum height requirement of 5 feet within the Urban Corridor Overlay District. This is for the property located at 3580 S Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway. The Urban Corridor Overlay District states that "(A) One (1) detached identification sign may be constructed to identify a single-family residential development of ten (10) acres or more. Such signs will be subject to the following conditions and restrictions: (iii) The sign shall not exceed twenty (20) square feet in area; and (iv) The sign shall not exceed a height of five (S) feet above the ground." The applicant states that these requirements will impede the visibility for attracting new residents at this property. The size submitted will be 49.02 square feet and 5 feet in height, which is smaller than the existing sign (75 square feet) located there now. The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all three conditions necessary for approval have been met: A) That the granting of the variance will not be contrary to the public interest; B) That literal enforcement of the ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship because of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, shape topography or other extraordinary or exceptional physical situation or hardship physical condition unique to the specific piece of property in question. "Unnecessary hardship" shall mean physical hardship relating to the property itself as distinguished from a hardship relating to convenience, financial considerations or caprice, and the hardship must not result from the applicant or owner's actions; and C) That by granting the variance, the spirit of the ordinance will be observed and substantial justice will be done.

March 10, 2020 To: City of Beaumont Board of Adjustment Re: 3580 S MLK Jr Pkwy, Beaumont, TX 77705 We would like to request a variance for a monument sign located at: Beauparte Apartments 3580 S MLK Jr Pkwy Beaumont, TX 77705 We feel that having a sign limited to 20 SF as allowed in the Urban Overlay District will impede the visibility for attracting new residents at this property. The current sign is 75 SF and completely in ill repair. We are proposing a sign that is substantially less than the current sign (49.02 SF) and with the new look and updated design will attract more residents and create an aesthetically pleasing look to the property. We believe that the overall purpose for the Urban Overlay District is to bring a cohesive look to the area and bring more business and revenue into a currently distressed area and bring the community together with pride. I have also outlined the reasons on the Variance Application From attached. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any additional information. Best Regards, enetlasscock Project Manager Brazo Sign Company 7220 Chippewa Blvd Houston, TX 77086 281-395-2770 The Board of Adjustment has the power to grant variances where the following listed conditions have been met.

"Unnecessary hardship" shall mean physical hardship relating to the property itself as distinguished from a hardship relating to convenience, financial considerations or caprice, and the hardship must not result from the applicant or owner's own actions.
