Item # 11
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
DISCUSSION:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable
for neighborhood retail.
This application is the outgrowth of a request to modify the
signage regulations regarding this shopping center. Specifically,
the existing ordinance requires all signage to be installed with
neutral colors including white, tan and other non-obtrusive
colors. All tenants with permanent signage currently comply
with that stipulation. This applicant is a Blockbuster Video Store
franchisee, and requests the Blockbuster ticket to be allowed with
colors of blue and yellow. The size of the proposed sign
measures 3 feet by 6 feet and is within the maximum size
allowed.
The Committee to Improve the Visual Image of Coppell (CIVIC)
recommended to Council that all signs be of a restrained color
(i.e., white, black, neutral, etc.). The applicant in this case,
therefore, must submit a reason why our standards should be
relaxed for this tenant.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
As stated above, the Committee to Improve the Visual Image of Coppell
(CIVIC) report presented to Council in February of 1997 recommended that
signage be restrained and in colors of white, grey, black, or neutral. Therefore,
if the applicant can not prove to the Commission that there is a compelling
reason to allow the blue and yellow Blockbuster sign, the request should be
denied. If, on the other hand, the Commission feels the sign is warranted, staff
will prepare an amending condition.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
