BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER�� SCOTT WILLIAMS, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 21, 2010 SUBJECT: WORKSHOP -AM10-07 -AMENDMENTS TO THE GRAPEVINE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE, SECTION 60, SIGN REGULATIONS, REL4TfVE TO ELECTRONIC MESSAGE SIGNS AND ELEVATED DlSPLAY AREAS RECOMfVIEIVDATION: City Council to consider possible amendments to the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, Section 60, Sign Regulations, relative to electronic message signs and elevated display areas and take any necessary action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A sign contractor working for Park Place Mercedes has requested City Council consider amendments to allow electronic message signs under specific conditions. The ordinance currently prohibits flashing or moving signs, except for signs that display fime,temperature or a message, that do not change more frequently than every fifteen (15) seconds�. Staff has prepared a draft ordinance amendment, based partially on the contractor's request to allow electronic signs that change more often than every fifteen (15) seconds, with the following conditions: Section 60.C.5. - (a) Sign shall not be visible from public rights-ofi way. (b) Sign must be on premise. (c) Maximum height: Eighteen (18) inches above grade. (d) Maximum gross surFace area: One hundred (100) square feet per one hundred' (100) linear feet of street frontage of the lot. If the electronic message sign comprises a portion of another sign, the aggregate area shall not exceed the square footage allowed by the most restrictive type of sign. (e) Required Setbacks: R:�AGENDA\09-21-10VWM10-07.4.doc 9f15/2010 2:0230 PM 1 (1) Sign shall be setback a minimum of two hundred (200)feetfrom any property line (2) Sign shall be located a maximum of seventy five (75)feet from main building. (3) Sign shall be a minimum of three hundred (300) feet from all residentially zoned properties, public parks or designated open space. (f) Messages cannot be displayed for more fhan twenty(20) minutes per hour. (g) No flashing or strobing shall be permitted. While working on the draft amendments, staff realized another change was necessary. Section 60.C.14 prohibits "Displaying, elevating or continuously moving objects such as cars, trucks, vans, or boats or other similar objects for the purpose of identifying, advertising or drawing notice to a place of business shall not be permitted." Since the requested electronic sign would be on a podium used to elevate automobiles for display, staff has draffied amendments clarifying this section. The amendment would allow elevated displays not to exceed five (5} feet for cars, trucks, vans, boats, motorcycles or similar objects fior a business which has received a conditional use permit from City Council to allow such uses. _. Should City Council approve of these amendments, staff will bring them to a future joint public hearing. � Q:1ZCU1AM10-07.4.doc 9!7/2010 9:26:07 AM 2 - DRAFT SECTION 60, SIGN STANDARDS - � 092110 The bond is for the benefit of the Citjr; who may recover its costs incurred in removing same.
