Carroll Ave., Suite 100, leaving an existing non-illuminated wall sign as installed.

Staff said the sign’s only noncompliant feature is letter depth: the installed letters are three-quarters of an inch deep whereas the ordinance requires a minimum depth of two inches. Staff also showed adjacent tenant signs and explained some existing signs predate the ordinance change that added the 2-inch letter-depth requirement.

No applicant representative appeared at the hearing; staff noted an email from the practice indicating the doctor might be in surgery during the meeting. Board members said the sign “is essentially what’s up there right now” and that the variance request concerned letter depth only. One member observed the installed sign was not materially different from neighboring signs and motioned to approve the staff recommendation to leave the sign as is.

Kimball Ave., while directing the operator to submit a conforming sign application before the next City Council meeting.

Staff described two installed signs at the site: a freestanding order sign/canopy roughly 9 feet 9 inches tall and about 6 feet wide with a 46-inch display, and a media/menu board whose noncompliant aspect is the absence of a masonry surround required by the ordinance. Staff said one small wall sign previously at the location had been removed.

Tamar Chapa, identifying herself as a project manager working with Cent Holdings on the Burger King location, said the work was done before her company took over the project and that the canopy/menu arrangement had been in place about two years. Chapa said the operator is willing to obtain a permit and “we're happy to comply” if a permit is required, and asked that the menu board not be removed while the matter is resolved.

Board members discussed enforcement, precedence and business operations. Some members said the canopy and menu board are functional for drive-through customers and voiced concern about forcing a temporary closure. Others emphasized that the lack of a permit is a recurring issue and the board should not encourage a practice of “doing the work and asking forgiveness later.”

The board first considered a motion to deny the variance but ultimately approved a motion that passed 3-2 to approve the case SB25-0007 while instructing the applicant to submit a conforming sign application prior to the upcoming City Council meeting. The staff and several board members encouraged the applicant to include photographs of nearby fast-food standard installations for council context.

The board noted that if the City Council ultimately denies permit relief, the applicant would be required to remove the nonconforming signs after council action and an inspection process. The sign-board approval allows the business to continue operating while the application and council process proceed.","The Sign Board voted 3-2 to approve the Burger King sign-variance case (SB25-0007) and required the applicant to submit a conforming sign application prior to the next City Council meeting.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6491187,"Sign board asks SmartQuest Academy to take three sign design options to council",725,75000,800000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5617672-6b436cb1d7d2272c87d6af212f9c02fc&start=75&end=800","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5617672-6b436cb1d7d2272c87d6af212f9c02fc/thumbnail_75000.jpg","/articles/6491187/Southlake/Tarrant-County/Texas/Sign-board-asks-SmartQuest-Academy-to-take-three-sign-design-options-to-council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491187-b7d416d6623879820043fa3c87409262/orig.mp4?Expires=1770774584&Signature=PVAWiCQXUkLCcQSQavPujICY2OrttfoY4ZQbeX0ZvQKb-GThZCRtoJhUPIwyceD7CuAskc3LNl9fIMx7jvzcGr0Btew7tOq9LQWvQWOO6U3cLHfyeP9lNKeMXHYdRPChnGKBwa-XVzXCXqaxKhY-UBPGUj4ugB18JYkt1pphCeTCT3NIuQ~3ZENc5p~8Oklba9~95HzjvNnCYiMOHpB2CLuSEcXSxvYCPQST-kf-4yga86Se~iJKBs8Pycgjy9HLkvLhbWeYHhvDvcBtV4RXkktHVVNf5r5Tn0R7KAeTaf7A9c5wKgbkiqPV9KbeBuvQzenAZKhQGhFNFRT6K43MJQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Southlake Sign Board voted 5-0 on Aug. 21, 2025, to send a sign-variance request for SmartQuest Academy (280 Commerce St., Suite 105) to City Council with instructions that the applicant present three design options.

Staff told the board the site is covered by a conditional sign permit that limits logo height to 18 inches, total sign area to 43.4 square feet and sign copy color to black. The applicant is requesting a logo height of 31 inches, a sign area of 100.41 square feet, and multi-colored lettering (brown, orange, green, yellow and blue). Staff presented two renderings: an applicant-preferred, full-color design and a second option that would comply with the conditional permit.

Elisa Cabriglione, identifying herself as a SmartQuest Academy representative, told the board the building owner requested the variance and said the colors were selected to make the preschool look “more preschool friendly and welcoming.” Cabriglione said the owner, Carla, “just liked those colors a lot.”

Board members debated three issues: logo height, sign area and sign color. Several members said they opposed setting a precedent by approving larger logos or bigger sign area, while others proposed a compromise. One commissioner recommended allowing the logo and color but keeping the copy in black so the signs remain visually consistent with neighboring tenants. Dr. Springer proposed a motion requiring the applicant to take three options to council: (1) a no-variance option that complies with the ordinance, (2) a version that changes the brown letters to black, and (3) the existing colored-letters design as submitted.

The board approved that motion 5-0. The board’s action sends the variance request and the three design options to City Council; the applicant will present the options at council for a final decision.

The board did not adopt a variance at the sign-board level; the vote directs the applicant to prepare the three versions for council review. Staff advised the board the west side of the building is not subject to the same conditional permit and may display different signs that already include color.","The Southlake Sign Board voted 5-0 to require SmartQuest Academy (Suite 105, 280 Commerce Street) to present three sign options to City Council: a code-compliant option, a version with brown lettering changed to black, and the applicant's full-color design including a 31-inch logo.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6491191,"Southlake Sign Board approves minutes from Aug. 7, 2025",69,0,69000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5617672-6b436cb1d7d2272c87d6af212f9c02fc&start=0&end=69","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5617672-6b436cb1d7d2272c87d6af212f9c02fc/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6491191/Southlake/Tarrant-County/Texas/Southlake-Sign-Board-approves-minutes-from-Aug-7-2025","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491191-0756b6924ed507545d29d3d0336278ae/orig.mp4?Expires=1770774584&Signature=mBwJt4~KwdiOaXM9kxuVBmitUN7-ZsWfjky-hgzI20Tlyfju8qg7K5C90QOQ6d-Q4VxY7G6G9BS3Xjjq8YRcNj4N6UO8JtHEkt9cNEjpHgG2vq3d91jUrNJpOQcs81j4uTw6Ib7CjD2rhEJvdemUai4ZjSOAJvBhj9YQJ9BBaXm3r~sQ25I8y~U9B3Zkvc9G889syj84B~rpzI1wp5zywZOu6gb4mC89OFMkxuDnjvBuZkG-CiVDL7DY3CgQwtLRo9lAII6qECw6~oVa3I4iQrS3u6d41oMuBQI1SMvj91Z0JmjHmM-OALtRY2ELqgKPAEVIAKYrZjrXdwWd-uJLDA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Southlake Sign Board voted 5-0 on Aug. 21, 2025, to approve the minutes from its Aug. 7, 2025, sign board meeting.
