Hovde, Staff Planner Report Date: April 17, 2009 E-mail: Ihovde(o-)cstx.gov Meeting Date: April 24, 2009 For SONIC DRIVE-IN- BUILDING & SIGN REVIEW (09-0050032) Item: Presentation, discussion and possible action on sign details for Sonic Restaurant. Location: 512 Harvey Road Applicant: Greg Lee, Sonic Operations Item Summary: The applicant is requesting to install Pop Board signs on the sides of the building and a sign with a picture of a cherry limeade on the front of the building facing Harvey Road. These items are considered signs because they advertise the goods and services sold at this location. The frames of the Pop Boards were approved to be painted SW 6447 Evergreen on June 17, 2008; however, the signs themselves were not specifically addressed during the meeting. The applicant has stated that the Pop Board signs were existing when the project underwent fagade renovations and that they wish continue their use. In addition, the applicant is seeking approval of the cherry limeade sign on the front fagade under the patio. Pictures of this sign were submitted with the last sign package that was approved by DRB, but it was not specifically addressed during the meeting. This location has 54 square feet of existing approved attached signage. This request includes an additional 144 square feet, which is still under the 352 square feet of attached signage that is allowed for this location with its two pubic entry facades. All signs reviewed and approved by DRB will require the submittal and approval of a sign permit application in order to receive a permit to install the signs. Issues/Items for Review: Signage - The UDO provides the Design Review Board with the following guidance when considering signs in Wolf Pen Creek: ■ Section 5.6.A.11 a. Every sign shall be designed as an integral architectural element of the building and site to which it principally relates b. Every sign shall have good scale and proportion in its design and in its visual relationship to buildings and surroundings. c. The colors materials and lighting of every sign shall be restrained and harmonious with the building and site to which it principally relates. d. The number of graphic elements on a sign shall be held to the minimum needed to convey the sign's major message and shall be composed in proportion to the area of the sign face. e. Each sign shall be compatible with signs on adjoining premises and shall not compete for attention. f. Identification signs of a prototype design and corporation logos shall conform to the criteria for all other signs. Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Pop Board signs. Staff recommends denial of the cherry limeade sign because it is visible from Harvey Road and utilizes multiple colors that may not be harmonious with the Wolf Pen Creek District. In addition, the cherry limeade sign does not meet standards set forth in Section 5.6.A.11 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), which states that the number of graphic elements on a sign shall be the minimum needed to convey the sign's major message.
