HISTORY:
On March 11, 2003, City Council approved a Site Plan and Minor
Plat to allmv for the construction of a 6,293 square-foot office
building for Champions School of Real Estate.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
regional retail uses.
DISCUSSION:
This request is to allow for a 20 square-foot sign to be placed on the west
elevation of this 6,293 square-foot building. When the Site Plan was
approved, one year ago, the elevations indicated one sign on the north side
of the building and a monument sign at the comer of Denton Tap and
Natches Trace. These signs have been installed. The applicant is now
requesting one additional sign on the west side of the building, which is
identical to the sign on the north elevation, to allow for visibility from
northbound Denton Tap. This building has over 120 feet of building
frontage; therefore, these two signs (totaling 40-square feet) is in compliance
with the Sign regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the Site Plan Amendment to allow for an
additional sign for Chan~pions School of Real Estate, with no conditions.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request.
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.
