Administrative Comments
1. The applicant is seeking approval of a Sign Variance to allow the existing pole sign to be re-faced and remain at a height of 43 feet.
2. The property is located at 1615 W. Airport Freeway. The original sign was installed in 2007 and will remain at the same location.

4. The property is located at 1615 W. Airport Freeway.
5. The sign meets the minimum 30-foot setback from the property line and is not located in an easement.

Recommendation
The resolution be approved.

Item 41 - Resolution - Sign Variance 2022-08-5440 - Considering a Sign Variance to Allow a 40 Square Foot Sign Cabinet to be Replaced with a 40 Square Foot Two-Sided Digital Cabinet on an Existing Pole Sign, and to Allow the Total Sign Face to be 161 Square Feet - Property Located at 1650 West Irving Boulevard - Joe M. Roland DDS,
Applicant/Owner
Administrative Comments
1. The applicant is seeking approval of a Sign Variance and a Special Sign Permit to allow a 40 square foot sign cabinet to be replaced with a 40 square foot double-sided digital cabinet, and to exceed the maximum total sign face size of 150 square feet by 11 square feet to 161 total square feet.
2. The property is located at 1650 W. Irving Boulevard. The sign was installed in July 1972 and will remain in the same location.
3. The sign is in a utility easement. Additionally, while the pole is on the subject property, the sign itself is over the property line into the City’s right-of-way. If a license to encroach does not already exist, one will need to be obtained from the City prior to approval of any new sign permit.
4. The total existing sign area is just under 35 feet tall and is approximately 161 square feet and would not be expanded. However, since a portion of the sign is being replaced, an exception to Section 7.3 to allow the maximum total sign area to exceed 150 square feet is required.
5. Likewise, a Sign Variance and Special Sign Permit allowing a 40 square foot double-sided digital sign on an existing pole sign requires a variance to Section 7-3, which does not permit a digital sign on a pole sign, and to Section 7-3.1(b)(3), which limits digital signs to being visible from only one direction of traffic.
6. The site plan states that the digital sign must comply with all other portions of Section 7-3.1(b), which set requirements for display motion, brightness, and other features.
7. The applicant’s letter states that a digital monument sign would not have adequate visibility due to the topography of the land, existing trees and bus stops, and the width of Irving Boulevard.
8. Since the applicant is not expanding the total sign face, is not increasing the height, is not altering the location or width, and is limiting the digital component to 40 square feet, staff can support this request.
Recommendation
The resolution be approved.

John Carpenter Fwy., LLC, Owner
Administrative Comments
1. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial on September 6, 2022 by a vote of 6-1.
Commissioners in support: Cronenwett, Burns, Spurlock, Haacke, Prichard, Patel
Commissioners in opposition: McPhail
Commissioners absent: Joy, Collins
2. This case was postponed from the September 15, 2022 City Council meeting per the applicant’s request.
3. The 2017 Imagine Irving Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map recommends Business District uses for the subject property. This land use category is described as a flexible use district for retail, office and commercial uses. It consists predominantly of mid-rise with a mix of surface and structured parking. The requested zoning is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
4. The subject property is an approximately 1.226-acre site that has an existing building. The applicant is requesting a zoning change to allow hotel uses with variances to the meeting room and minimum room count requirements.
5. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing motor bank building and replace it with a 6-story, 140-room hotel with a lobby, lounge, fitness center, and a pool.
6. The property meets the requirements of Section 2.5.5 “Commercial Office (C-O)” in the Unified Development Code (UDC).
7. On April 21, 2022, revisions to Section 3.10 “Hotel Development Standards” of the UDC were adopted by the City Council. The applicant is requesting the following variances to Section 3.10 as noted in the following table:
Required
Proposed
Meeting Space (Sec. 3.10.2 (d)(5))

Variance of 4,066 sq. ft. (81%)
Room Count (Sec. 3.10.2 (d)(7))

The hotel will be required to provide a continental breakfast and a convenience retail market or pantry including refrigerated and frozen food options as required per Section 3.10.2 (d)(8). 10. All landscaping and parking requirements, along with all the other Hotel Development Standards will be met.
11. An update to the Hotel Development Standards, approved earlier this year, was made in an effort to correspond to current market trends and eliminate a need for variances from new hotel developments. Consequently, because the two variances being requested derive from the newly adopted standards, staff cannot support this request.
12. A total of 12 public notices were mailed. Staff has received one (1) letter in support and no responses in opposition to this request.
13. The case was postponed from the September 15, 2022 City Council meeting at the applicant’s request. No revisions or further information has been provided from the applicant during this time.

Items 43 - 45 - 43 Ordinance - Consider an Ordinance Amending the City of Irving Unified Development Code (“UDC”) Section 2.4.16 “R-Th Townhouse District Regulations” to Add Additional Allowed Principal Uses and Update the Regulations for Development of Townhomes
Administrative Comments
1. This item has been recommended by the Planning Department.
2. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended Approval on October 3, 2022 by a vote of 4-3; Spurlock, Collins, Haack, Joy approval; Burns, Cronenwett and Prichard opposed
3. The TH Townhouse district is an existing district created in 1970. Updates are being proposed to the TH district standards to reflect and be consistent with zoning cases with numerous approved variances to meet the apparent demands of the market. Approximately 50 SP cases have been processed requesting variances to the TH standards since the 1970’s.
4. The amendments will match what has been approved in past cases and allow a development to build by right if they meet all the standards.

4) Set a maximum building size of 6 units to provide easier and direct access to all sides of a structure for Fire service.
6. A discussion was held at the June 20 Planning and Zoning Commission work session with concerns about the reduced parking. The City Council Planning and Development Committee also discussed the proposal on July 14 and gave consensus direction to move forward with the amendment with a change to continue to require four (4) parking spaces per unit.
7. In addition to the parking spaces, recent changes to the proposal since the last hearing include a 15 foot front setback, requiring guest parking in developments with front entry garages, and a maximum of 6 units in a single structure. These changes will provide shared parking areas when on-street parking is not available and for improved access around the buildings for Fire service.
Recommendation
The ordinance be adopted.
Items 43 - 45

Administrative Comments
1. This item has been recommended by the Planning Department.
2. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended Approval on October 3, 2022 by a vote of 4-3; Spurlock, Collins, Haack, Joy approval; Burns, Cronenwett and Prichard opposed
3. The TH Townhouse district is an existing district created in 1970. Updates are being proposed to the TH district standards to reflect and be consistent with zoning cases with numerous approved variances to meet the apparent demands of the market. Approximately 50 SP cases have been processed requesting variances to the TH standards since the 1970’s.
4. The amendments will match what has been approved in past cases and allow a development to build by right if they meet all the standards. Discussions have been held with internal staff, especially Fire and Traffic to make sure proposed standards are consistent with their requirements. This will decrease the time and provide predictability to construct residential units which are needed to provide housing in Irving. 5. Proposed amendments:
