MEMO TO:
HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM:
ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER` OI /
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 16, 2001
SUBJECT: SECTION 60, SIGN REGULATIONS, APPENDIX D,
GRAPEVINE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE
RELATIVE TO HISTORIC SIGNAGE
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider amendments to Section 60, Sign Regulations, Appendix D,
Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance relative to historic signage, and take any
necessary action.
BACKGROUND:
Phil Parker recently made application to replace the existing projecting signage on the
front of his building with a historic replica of the "Willhoite's Garage" sign for his
restaurant on Main Street. -Since the sign did not meet the requirements of Section 60,
Sign Regulations, Mr. Parker made application to go before the Board of Zoning
Adjustment for special exception to allow the historic signage to be placed on the
building. The Board of Zoning Adjustment ruled that there was no hardship or special
exception, therefore the variance was not granted.
As part of the restoration of the Palace Theatre, there are plans to replace the historic
sign on the front of the Buckner building with a replica of the "Buckner Grocery Store"
sign. This sign would also not meet the requirements of Section 60, Sign Regulations.
Staff is proposing an amendment to the Sign Regulations, which would allow historical
replica signs to be placed whenever a certificate of appropriateness is granted by the
Historic Preservation Commission.
Attached you will find details of the sign which Willhoite's was requesting as well as the
Buckner sign.
