First Texas Honda has requested the City Sign Review Board reconsider the action taken on August 13 to deny the request for variance to permit a 60 ft sign at their location at 3400 Steck Avenue.
The Case Number is C16-2012-0011 – 3400 Steck Avenue. (same as before)
The hearing for the case is scheduled for Monday, September 17 beginning at 5:30 PM in the City Hall City Council Chambers. The agenda for he meeting is not available at this time. It is understood that this case will be the first one considered. It is also understood that the procedures will be:
First the board will consider the request for reconsideration. The applicant and opposition will each have 5 minutes to speak, possibly with a 2 minute rebuttal period. Then the public hearing will be closed and the board will consider and act.
If the board votes to reconsider the denial, then the public hearing for the request for variance may be reopened or postponed. If the public hearing is reopened the applicant and opposition may each have 5 minutes to speak.
While speaking time is quite limited, the number of neighbors who show up and register for or against the variance, as well as the number of neighbors in the audience should show the board the neighborhood interest, concern and support. At this time there is uncertainty about how the board hearing will be conducted. Therefore, flexibility and adjustment to changing circumstances may be necessary.
It is understood that a new notice of the public hearing of the case was mailed to stakeholders on September 6, with comment forms. These forms may be used to indicate whether the submitter is in favor of or object to the variance and comments. The forms should include include the name, address, signature, date and telephone number of the submitter. Forms may be mailed to the address on the form, or delivered to Susan Walker, Planning & Development Review Department, 1st floor, 505 Barton Springs Road.
