 ZONING CASES AND COMPANION ITEMS
8 Resolution -- Requesting Sign Variance Case #S1002-0018 Located at 861
West John Carpenter Freeway - Bailey and Galyen Attorneys at Law,
Applicant - Phillip Galyen, Owner
Administrative Comments
1. This item supports Strategic Goal No. 1: Land Use.
2. Impact: This sign variance will enhance the signage for a business on West John
Carpenter Freeway by improving the visibility within the shopping center without any
negative impacts on West John Carpenter Freeway or MacArthur Blvd.
3. The applicant requests approval to install a 78 square foot wall sign on the
northwest elevation, which is not the front façade.
4. Section 7-3 (14) of the City of Irving Land Development Code states that wall signs
shall be located only on the front façade. Section 7-1 defines “front façade” as a
face of the building which faces a public street; or where no building façade faces a
public street, the façade which contains the door open to the public during business
hours.
5. Section 7-22 of the Land Development Code authorizes the City Council to grant a
variance to the sign regulations.
6. The previous tenant had signage on the northwest side of the building facing into
the parking area before the current sign ordinance was enacted. Signage on the
northwest side of the building is primarily visible from within the shopping center,
not from West John Carpenter Freeway or MacArthur Boulevard. Since the
proposed signage is compatible with the existing signage in the shopping center,
and since the proposed signage does not directly face either West John Carpenter
Freeway or MacArthur Boulevard, staff can support this request.
Recommendation
The resolution be approved.

9 Ordinance -- Zoning Case #ZC09-0061 - Granting S-P-2 (Generalized Site
Plan) for P-O (Professional Office) District and Restaurant Uses -
Approximately 2.9 Acres Located at 204 East Airport Freeway -
Healthspace JVI, LLC, Applicant - Argonaut Holdings, Inc., Owner
(Postponed from the March 4, 2010 City Council Meeting)
Administrative Comments
1. This item supports Strategic Goal No. 1: Land Use.
2. Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing Date and Recommendation: December
21, 2009 - Postpone indefinitely, 8-0 (Commissioner LaRose, absent); February 1,
2010 – Favorable with the stipulation that the site plan be revised to add restaurants
as a permitted use and to correct the landscaping notes, 7-0 (Commissioners
Randall and Zapanta, absent).
3. The applicant is requesting to rezone the property for medical offices and service
uses, and restaurant uses.
4. The property is currently developed with a 15,659 square foot single story building
and was previously used for an automobile sales lot. The property has been vacant
for several years. The applicant is wishing to rezone the property to renovate the
existing building for medical offices and services, and a restaurant.
5. This property is within the proposed State Highway 183 Overlay District, and is
being impacted by right-of-way acquisition along the frontage. Staff discussed the
proposed Overlay District with the applicant, who agreed to provide new
landscaping and a revised parking layout in keeping with the proposed Overlay
standards. A 30 feet deep landscaped buffer is being provided inside the new
property line, along with a landscaped buffer on both sides and landscaped strips
within the parking lot. New landscaping and trees are also proposed in the parking
areas behind the building.
6. The applicant proposes to do minor interior renovations to the building to create
additional medical office space and restaurant. Enhancements will also be made to
the exterior. Although these enhancements do not meet all of the commercial
design standards, staff believes they meet the intent.
7. Staff believes this proposed redevelopment is consistent with the vision for the
redevelopment of the State Highway 183 corridor, and can serve as an example of
how existing properties can be improved.
8. The stipulation of the Planning and Zoning Commission has been met.
9. Public notices were sent to thirteen (13) property owners, with no letters in support
or opposition received.
Recommendation
The ordinance be adopted per the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
