STAFF REPORT
Thuy Truong has applied for a variance to the minimum setback for
an owner identification sign from 15' to 4'. The property is located
at 7995 Hwy. 105.
In November, 2002, City Council approved a specific use permit to
allow a beauty /nail shop on the subject property. Ms. Truong states
that to erect the sign at the required setback would require that the
lone oak tree on the property would have to be cut done for the sign
to be seen from the highway. She says that her sign at this location
would line up with neighboring signs.
For non-residential uses in the RM-H District, the Zoning Ordinance
allows one detached owner identification sign that shall not exceed 50
sq. ft. in area and 15' in height and shall be located a minimum of
15' from any property line.
A site inspection of the subject property shows that Ms. Truong=s
existing sign is approximately 2' from the front property line. The
sign for the dentist office, to the east, is approximately 15' from the
front property line. There also appears to be adequate room to move
the sign to the required 15' and not have to cut down the
aforementioned oak tree.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
