Bennett on behalf of myself/ourselves as authorized agent for Ascension Seton Southwest Hospital affirm that on Month October , Day 9 , Year 2020 , hereby apply for a hearing before the Board of Adjustment for consideration to (select appropriate option below): Erect Attach Complete Remodel Maintain Other: Type of Sign: FREE STANDING Portion of the City of Austin Land Development Code applicant is seeking a variance from: LDC section 25-10-130 & 25-10-131 ***SEE ATTACHED*** City of Austin C-1/3Section 2: Variance Findings The Board must determine the existence of, sufficiency of, and weight of evidence supporting the findings described below. In order to grant your request for a variance, the Board must first make one or more of the findings described under 1, 2, and 3 below; the Board must then make the finding described in item 4 below. If the Board cannot make the required findings, it cannot approve a sign variance. Therefore, you must complete each of the applicable Findings Statements as part of your application. Failure to do so may result in your application being rejected as incomplete. Please attach any additional supporting documents. I contend that my entitlement to the requested variance is based on the following findings: The variance is necessary because strict enforcement of the Article prohibits any reasonable opportunity to provide adequate signs on the site, considering the unique features of the site such as dimensions, landscaping, or topography, because: This is a very large corner lot. There is approximately 2120' of frontage on FM 1826 with 2 existing signs. There is 826' of frontage on US 290 with a new entrance and ZERO signs. The granting of this variance will not have a substantially adverse impact upon neighboring properties, because: Of the size of this property. The signs are spread out and not near the neighboring properties. The granting of this variance will not substantially conflict with the stated purposes of this sign ordinance, because: This sign is for a new entrance off of US HWY 290 which will provide quicker access to the hospital. The existing entrances are off of FM1826 and have existing signage. Without this new sign, there would be no way to identify the new entrance is for a hopital, due to the elevation of the street versus the location of the hospital on the property. Granting a variance would not provide the applicant with a special privilege not enjoyed by others similarly situated or potentially similarly situated, because: Most other properties do not serve the public in a life saving capacity nor are they on a large corner lot. —OR— —OR— AND, City of Austin C-1/4Section 3: Applicant Certificate I affirm that my statements contained in the complete application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
