Title
Consider/Discuss/Act on an Ordinance Amending the Code of Ordinances of the City of McKinney, Section 134, “Signs” by Revising Paragraph (a) of Chapter 134-10 entitled “Multiple-Building Lot Coordinated Signage,” to Allow Coordinated Signage on Property that is Developed in any Non-Residential Zoning District in Addition to Property Developed in a Planned Development District or in the McKinney Town Center
Summary
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.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY: N/A
BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A
