The adjacent lot is in the floodplain and the <br />proposed billboard location is in the floodway. Section 13-21 — Floodways - prohibits encroachments <br />and new construction in a floodway. <br />Section 28-11 of the Sign Ordinance governs billboards and is included. The highlighted portions of the <br />ordinance show the sections that are in conflict with the proposed billboard relocation. The sign is <br />currently grandfathered at its current location. <br />The following reasons are highlighted in the attached section of the ordinance; <br />• The property is currently zoned General Retail (GR), it is required to be either Light or Heavy <br />Industrial. A request for a zoning change can't be accepted for the sole purpose of installing a <br />billboard. <br />• No billboard shall be placed within 2000-feet of another billboard. The billboard at the <br />northwest corner of Loop 286 and F.M. 195 is within 2000-feet of the existing sign. <br />• No billboard can be located closer than 300-feet to any building. The bank building that is <br />being constructed and the Carpet World building to the east is approximately 300-feet apart. <br />• The minimum side yard setback is 100-feet. The current property frontage is less than 200-feet <br />wide. <br />• The maximum area of all faces of a sign shall not exceed 288 square feet. The current sign face <br />has over 800 square feet on both sides. <br />BOARD�COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />EXHIBITS: <br />Request Letter from Guaranty Bond Bank, Sign Ordinance Section 28-11, aerial and photos <br />ACTION: <br />❑ Financial Report <br />❑ Department Report <br />❑ Presentation <br />❑ Public Hearing <br />City of Paris <br />❑ Minute Order <br />❑ Resolution <br />❑ Ordinance <br />❑ Other <br />BUDGET INFO: <br />Expense $ <br />Budgeted Amt. $ <br />YTD Actual $ <br />Acct.
