COUNCIL GOAL:                     Operational Excellence

 

MEETING DATE:                     November 1, 2016

 

DEPARTMENT:                      Building Inspections

 

CONTACT:                       Jeff Harris, Chief Plans Examiner

 

RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:                     

                     Approve Ordinance

 

ITEM SUMMARY:                                            

                     This item is to consider an amendment to the Sign Ordinance that would allow for coordinated signage in all non-residential zoning districts.

                     Currently, Paragraph (a) of Section 134-10, of the Sign Ordinance allows for coordinated signage in property that is developed in a PD - Planned Development District (“PD”) or in the MTC - McKinney Town Center (“MTC”).

                     All other non-residential zoning districts are currently limited to compliance with the standard provisions of the Sign Ordinance. 

                     The proposed amendment would also allow Coordinated Signage on property developed in any non-residential zoning district. 

                     The specific requirements relating to signage on property that is developed in a PD or in the MTC will not be impacted. 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: 

                     The current City of McKinney Sign Ordinance requires property that is already zoned for non-residential uses to be rezoned as a PD to utilize Coordinated Signage across the development.  The proposed amendment will provide greater flexibility and allow coordination of signage within a development without rezoning the property to a PD.

                     The ordinance criteria for compatibility of design will remain.
