OUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING, BUT DON'T GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE WE HAVE A CITY OF SOUTHLAKE SIGN BOARD MEETING COMING UP.

[00:00:12]

APPRECIATE EVERYBODY JOINING US FOR THAT. WE DON'T HAVE ANY ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS.

I'M GOING TO ASSUME NO UNLESS SOMEBODY CHARGES BACK IN.

NO CHAIRMAN'S COMMENTS. WE'LL MOVE RIGHT TO CONSIDERATION NUMBER FIVE, WHICH IS OUR MEETING MINUTES FROM THE FEBRUARY 20TH MEETING.

[5. Consider: Approving the minutes from the February 20, 2025, Sign Board Meeting.]

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THOSE BEFORE WE CONSIDER A MOTION? MR. CHAIRMAN, I MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE ITEM NUMBER FIVE ON OUR AGENDA.

MOTION BEEN MADE. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. VOTE PLEASE.

AND PASSES SEVEN ZERO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MOVE ON TO THE LAST ITEM OF OUR AGENDA.

[6. Consider: SV25-0004, Sign Variances for CED – Consolidated Electrical Distributors Inc., located at 1825 Mustang Court, Suite 100.]

NUMBER SIX SIGN VARIANCE FOR CED, CONSOLIDATED ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTORS.

YES. THIS IS A REQUEST FROM CONSOLIDATED ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTORS FOR A SIGN VARIANCE TO ALLOW AN ADDITIONAL FLAT PANEL A TYPE WALL SIGN.

THEIR LOCATION IS 1825 MUSTANG COURT, SUITE 100.

THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW SHOWING THE LOCATION. THIS IS THEIR SUITE HERE.

SO THEY HAVE ALREADY HAD A FLAT PANEL A SIGN APPROVED ON THE EAST ELEVATION.

NO VARIANCE REQUIRED. FLAT PANEL A SIGNS ARE ALLOWED IN INDUSTRIAL AREAS.

BUT THE ORDINANCE LIMITS FLAT PANEL SIGNS TO ONE PER TENANT.

SO THEY ARE REQUESTING A SECOND FLAT PANEL A SIGN ON THE SOUTH ELEVATION HERE.

AGAIN, THE SIGN IS FULLY COMPLIANT WITH THE SIGN ORDINANCE, EXCEPT FOR THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING A SECOND SIGN, AND THERE'S ONLY ONE ALLOWED PER LEASE SPACE. THIS IS THE PROPOSED WALL SIGN ON THE EAST OR, SORRY, THE SOUTH ELEVATION. AND HERE WE HAVE SOME VIEWS.

THE TOP ONE IS FROM IRA E WOODS AND MUSTANG COURT, AND THE BOTTOM IS FROM MUSTANG COURT AND SOUTHWESTERN.

THIS IS THE EAST ELEVATION AND THE SOUTH ELEVATION.

AND THIS IS THE APPROVED EAST ELEVATION SIGN.

AGAIN, THIS ONE DOES NOT REQUIRE A VARIANCE. IT'S ALREADY BEEN APPROVED AND A PERMIT HAS BEEN ISSUED. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

OKAY. SO OTHERWISE COMPLIANT EXCEPT FOR JUST NUMBER OF SIGNS.

YES. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? ALL RIGHT.

I THINK WE'RE GOOD. IS THE APPLICANT HERE? WHY DON'T WHY DON'T YOU IF YOU DON'T MIND, LET US JUST DELIBERATE REAL QUICK, WE'LL SEE IF WE NEED YOU. AND IF SO, YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME TO COME UP AND COMMENT, BUT I GUESS ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS ONE? WORKS FOR ME. WE'RE ALL WAITING. I THINK IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS BUILDING IS.

IF THIS IS PURELY AN OFFICE SPACE, THEY DON'T NEED IT.

IF IT'S A WALK IN TRAFFIC, MAYBE. BUT I'M. I'M GOING.

THIS IS JUST SETTING A BAD PRECEDENT FOR THESE BIG BOXES THAT COULD BE SPLIT UP 47 WAYS, AND EVERYBODY WANTS A SIGN ON EVERY CORNER.

SO I SAY NO. OKAY. ANY OTHER THOUGHTS ON THIS REAL QUICK? WELL, I THINK THE LOCATION IS SOMEWHAT OF A DESTINATION LOCATION.

IT'S NOT LIKE A PASSERBY OR WHAT HAVE YOU. AND FOR THAT REASON, I WOULD NOT BE OPPOSED TO HAVING THEM HAVING A SECOND SIGN.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? I DON'T THINK I CAN GET ON BOARD WITH IT.

I DON'T SEE THE REASONING BEHIND HAVING THE SECOND ONE MYSELF, SO I'D RATHER STICK WITH OUR ORDINANCE.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? I'M OKAY ALLOWING ANOTHER SIGN. I MIGHT SUGGEST THAT INSTEAD OF PUTTING IN THE LOCATION THEY HAVE IT, THEY JUST MOVE IT TO THE LEFT ONTO THE PANEL, THAT'S IMMEDIATELY TO THE LEFT.

IT SORT OF SEPARATES THE SIGN AND MIGHT MAKE IT MORE LEGIBLE TO THE STREET, WHICH IS WHAT THEIR FOCUS IS TRYING TO DO.

OKAY. YEAH, I GUESS I'D SAY NORMALLY I'D PROBABLY BE A LITTLE MORE OF A STICKLER AS WELL, BUT IT'S IT'S A LARGE SPACE. IT'S A HARD CORNER, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ON A CORNER.

IF THEY WERE JUST IN THE MIDDLE, KIND OF A MID-BLOCK SPACE, SO TO SPEAK, I WOULDN'T FEEL THE NEED TO PUT TWO SIGNS.

BUT SINCE THEY'RE ON KIND OF TWO SIDES OF THE BUILDING AND IT DOESN'T, IT COMPLIES IN EVERY OTHER WAY. I, I CAN GET OVER IT, BUT ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? I MEAN, I'M FINE WITH IT.

I THINK THAT IT'S A BIG SEA OF BIG BRICK BUILT CONCRETE BUILDINGS.

SO JUST FOR DELIVERY SAKE, THEY MIGHT NEED A SECOND SIGN.

ALL RIGHT, WELL I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU OTHER THAN, I GUESS THE COMMENT.

MAYBE YOU CAN KIND OF NOTE IN TERMS OF JUST, YOU KNOW, SIGN LOCATION, BUT YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME UP AND TALK IF YOU WANT, OTHERWISE WE CAN JUST TAKE A VOTE. SO IT'S YOUR YOUR CALL.

ALL RIGHT. NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, IF YOU DON'T MIND.

[00:05:03]

AND THEN JUST ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY REAL QUICK. SAM LEOPARD WITH FAST SIGNS ALLIANCE. WE'RE THE CONTRACTOR ON THIS.

AND THE SECOND SIGN, THE VARIANCE WE'RE TRYING TO GET IS TO HAVE TWO OF THE FLAT PANEL AS WE CAN PUT ANOTHER SIGN UP HERE.

THE LANDLORD, THE PROPERTY OWNER BROOKFIELD, JUST REQUESTED THAT THEY MATCH.

AND IT LOOKED REALLY SILLY TO HAVE A FLAT PANEL ON ONE SIDE AND THEN INDIVIDUAL LETTERS ON ANOTHER.

STAFF. SO WE ALLOW OTHER TYPES OF SIGNS LIKE A TRADITIONAL SIGN, A CHANNEL CUT LETTERS.

IT'S TWO ALLOWED PER ONE PER STREET FRONTAGE.

SO YOU COULD HAVE TWO PER TENANT. BUT SPECIFICALLY WITH THE FLAT PANEL A THERE'S ONLY ONE ALLOWED PER PER LEASE SPACE.

SO IT'S KIND OF A TECHNICALITY AND YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE A MATCH. SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE. IT'S KIND OF A TECHNICALITY TO MAKE. AND ON THE OTHER SIDE I'LL CALL IT THE STREET SIDE. THERE'S A NEW BUILDING BEING BUILT TODAY, SO THAT ONE'S NEARLY POINTLESS IN A COUPLE MONTHS WHEN THAT BUILDING'S FULLY UP.

SO. AND THERE IS SOME CUSTOMER TRAFFIC HERE, CUSTOMER PICKUP AT THIS LOCATION AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT. NO, THAT'S VERY HELPFUL CONTEXT. THANK YOU FOR COMING FORWARD.

SO I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY TO THE POINT WHERE WE CAN ENTERTAIN A MOTION I'M GUESSING AT THIS POINT. NOW THE OTHER THING THAT WASN'T MENTIONED WAS THE UP LIGHTING.

THEY'RE PROPOSING UP LIGHTING. AND THAT'S I GUESS, NOT A VARIANCE THAT WE NEED TO NOTE.

NO. WE'VE ALLOWED UP LIGHTING FOR OTHER. OKAY.

PERFECT. THERE YOU GO. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR COMING FORWARD I GUESS WITH THAT.

UNLESS THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION AND WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES.

OKAY, NOW THAT YOU HAVE MORE CONTEXT, MR. CHAIRMAN, I MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE ITEM NUMBER SIX ON OUR AGENDA, SB 25 -0004, SUBJECT TO OUR STAFF REPORT DATED MAY 2ND, 2025, AND NOTING THE APPLICANT'S WILLINGNESS TO CONSIDER MOVING THE LOCATION OF THE SECOND SIGN OVER TO THE LEFT ON THE PROPOSED SOUTH ELEVATION.

WHAT KIND OF MATERIAL IS THAT? THE TILT WALL.

SECOND. MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? AND VOTE.

CONGRATULATIONS. PASSES 6 TO 1, WHICH IS A COMMON VOTE WE HAVE UP HERE IN SIGN BOARD.

CONGRATULATIONS. GOOD LUCK AT THE NEXT MEETING. MAY 20TH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NOW WE ARE ADJOURNED.
