Resolution - Rejecting All Submittals for Professional Golf Course Management Services Administrative Comments 1.This item is recommended by the Parks & Recreation Department.

The new RFP would specify a contract start date of October 1, 2016. Recommendation The resolution be approved.
Resolution - Approving Sign Variance Case #S1512-0047 to Allow a Multi-tenant Monument Sign to Exceed the Maximum Height and Maximum Area - Property Located at 3907 West Airport Freeway - Michael R. Coker company, Applicant -CSFB, Owner Administrative Comments 1.Impact: If approved, this sign variance would allow the placement of a multi-tenant monument sign that exceeds the maximum height and maximum area permitted by the Sign Ordinance. 2.The property at 3907 West Airport Freeway is an approximately 19.2-acre tract that is zoned primarily S-P-2 (Generalized Site Plan) for C-C (Community Commercial) district uses. The property is also within the State Highway 183 Overlay District. 3.The property is developed with a large retail center and has an existing nonconforming multi-tenant sign, as well as three other pole signs. Recently, TxDOT contractors removed a second multi-tenant sign from land recently acquired from the shopping center by TxDOT for highway widening. The owner was able to salvage the sign, and wishes to re-erect it, with modifications to convert it from a pole sign to a monument sign. The applicant statesthat the sign was removed without proper notification, and that the property may be considered “excess property by TxDOT”. However, at this time staff has not received such notification from TxDOT, and the previous sign was on property currently owned by TxDOT. 4.The proposed sign would be classified as a “multi-tenant monument sign” that is 34 feet tall, has a 651sq. ft. sign face and will be double sided. The sign height is slightly shorter than the existing nonconforming multi-tenant sign. 5.The sign is proposed to be placed on the subject property, located just north of where the previous multi-tenant sign was located. The proposed multi-tenant sign is shown located on the east side of the access point. Staff cannot support any signs being located on the east side of any access points, since the sign potentially blocks visibility from the westbound traffic for cars exiting the shopping center. 6.The applicant’s submittal shows the proposed sign within a utility easement. Staff recommends locating the sign on the west side of the driveway, outside of the utility easement. Staff cannot support having a sign of this size within any utility easement. 7.The property ownership has made numerous improvements and renovations to the property in the past 3 years, and has plans to continue to do so, including an expansion of the shopping area into the former Calloway’s Nursery location on the west side of the property. Unlike most shopping centers of this size, this one (with the exception of The Olive GardenRestaurant) is located on a single lot, thereby limiting the number of pole signs and multi-tenant signs that may be placed on the property. 8.The previous property owner was compensated for the removal and relocation or replacement of the multitenant sign previously on the property. Recommendation The resolution be approved, subject to requiring the sign to be located on the west side of the driveway and outside of any utility easements.

Resolution - Approving Sign Variance Case #S1512-0047 to Allow a Multi-tenant Monument Sign to Exceed the Maximum Height and Maximum Area - Property Located at 3907 West Airport Freeway - Michael R. Coker company, Applicant -CSFB, Owner Administrative Comments 1.Impact: If approved, this sign variance would allow the placement of a multi-tenant monument sign that exceeds the maximum height and maximum area permitted by the Sign Ordinance. 2.The property at 3907 West Airport Freeway is an approximately 19.2-acre tract that is zoned primarily S-P-2 (Generalized Site Plan) for C-C (Community Commercial) district uses. The property is also within the State Highway 183 Overlay District. 3.The property is developed with a large retail center and has an existing nonconforming multi-tenant sign, as well as three other pole signs. Recently, TxDOT contractors removed a second multi-tenant sign from land recently acquired from the shopping center by TxDOT for highway widening. The owner was able to salvage the sign, and wishes to re-erect it, with modifications to convert it from a pole sign to a monument sign. The applicant statesthat the sign was removed without proper notification, and that the property may be considered “excess property by TxDOT”. However, at this time staff has not received such notification from TxDOT, and the previous sign was on property currently owned by TxDOT. 4.The proposed sign would be classified as a “multi-tenant monument sign” that is 34 feet tall, has a 651sq. ft. sign face and will be double sided. The sign height is slightly shorter than the existing nonconforming multi-tenant sign. 5.The sign is proposed to be placed on the subject property, located just north of where the previous multi-tenant sign was located. The proposed multi-tenant sign is shown located on the east side of the access point. Staff cannot support any signs being located on the east side of any access points, since the sign potentially blocks visibility from the westbound traffic for cars exiting the shopping center. 6.The applicant’s submittal shows the proposed sign within a utility easement. Staff recommends locating the sign on the west side of the driveway, outside of the utility easement. Staff cannot support having a sign of this size within any utility easement. 7.The property ownership has made numerous improvements and renovations to the property in the past 3 years, and has plans to continue to do so, including an expansion of the shopping area into the former Calloway’s Nursery location on the west side of the property. Unlike most shopping centers of this size, this one (with the exception of The Olive GardenRestaurant) is located on a single lot, thereby limiting the number of pole signs and multi-tenant signs that may be placed on the property. 8.The previous property owner was compensated for the removal and relocation or replacement of the multitenant sign previously on the property. Recommendation The resolution be approved, subject to requiring the sign to be located on the west side of the driveway and outside of any utility easements.
