REGULAR AGENDA: 4.A. 2022-501 CONSIDER THE PROPOSED SIGN VARIANCE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED 1200 HOMESTEAD RIDGE, BOERNE, TX KNOWN AS CORLEY FARMS (KCAD 12154) TO ALLOW FOR AN ENTRY FEATURE SIGN THAT EXCEEDS THE SIGN SIZE REQUIREMENTS IN THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, SECTION 9.7.E, SIGNS MOUNTED ON ACCESSORY STRUCTURES. TAKE NECESSARY ACTION. Ryan Bass, City Environmental Planner / Urban Forester, presented the proposed variance. Ms. Laura Haning, Planning and Community Development Director, explained that city code is currently being reassessed to address various definitions, but as of now, this entrance feature is defined as signage and requires a variance. Discussion ensued regarding materials as presented, possible utility conflicts, and distance of the proposed structure from Scenic Loop, and if it would be visible from Scenic Loop. Mr. Bass clarified that the structure is approximately 1000 feet from Scenic Loop, and that the back lit logo on the structure may be visible from Scenic Loop, but likely not the structure itself. Robert Ruffo, landscape architect with Cude Engineers, discussed size of the structure.
