MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER
H.T. HARDY, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 20, 2001
SUBJECT: ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AM01-01; SECTION 60,
SIGN REGULATIONS, RELATIVE TO HISTORIC SIGNAGE
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission consider
the following amendment to Section 60, Sign Regulations relative to historic signage,
and take any action necessary.
BACKGROUND:
Phil Parker recently applied for permission 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 submitted an application before the Board of Zoning
Adjustment requesting a 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 and the request was denied.
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 the
placement of a historical replica sign on a structure whenever a certificate of
appropriateness has been 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.
