HARDY, DIRECTOR OF DEV OPMENT SERVICESri-)4`h MARCY RATCLIFF, PLANNER MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 21, 1995 SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 60, SIGN REGULATIONS RELATIVE TO TEMPORARY DIRECTIONAL SIGNS FOR RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission set a public hearing to consider amendments to Section 60, Sign Regulations, defining a temporary directional sign and its dimensions and placement for a residential development. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Attached is proposed draft language for Section 60.B.1.h. and 60.B.2.k., Temporary Directional Signs. These amendments are a result of input received from Joe Wright of Wright Construction Company. Home builders have expressed concerns about the decrease in new home starts over the last several years. According to area homebuilders, a major cause for the decrease in new home starts is a result of the limited number of new home residential subdivisions, which normally generate the essential traffic flow necessary to attract prospective buyers to these areas. It has been suggested if temporary directional signs were allowed in key locations, along the freeways and thoroughfares in the City of Grapevine, attention would be attracted to new residential developments, thereby improving new home sales. The proposed amendment to Section 60.B.1.h. creates and defines a new functional classification of signage allowed in the City of Grapevine termed Temporary Directional Signs. Temporary Directional Signs are further classified in Section 60.B.2.k. as a structural type sign allowed in all zoning districts. The location of these signs are limited to State Highways and designated thoroughfares. Temporary signs along State Highways shall have a maximum cabinet size of 64 square feet. Signs on thoroughfares shall have a maximum cabinet size of 32 square feet. Subdivisions would be limited to only two signs each. These signs shall be permitted for a period of up to two years and shall be removed when ninety five (95 %) percent of the lots in a subdivision have been issued a building permit. HTH /tw 0AZCU \SEC601.TDS 1 C. DEVELOPMENT SIGNS: A temporary sign identifying the developing tract of land on which it is located.

For computing the area of any wall sign which consists of letters mounted or painted on a wall, the area shall be deemed to be the area of the smallest rectangular figure which can encompass all of the letters. 1st Draft 081495 10 Section 60
