Title
Approval of an ordinance on third reading with the caption reading: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY OF PFLUGERVILLE CODE OF ORDINANCES TITLE XV LAND USAGE, BY AMENDING THE EXISTING CHAPTER 154 SIGNS; REMOVING REFERENCE TO CHAPTER 157.542 WITHIN SECTION 154.002; REPLACING SECTION 154.904 IN ITS ENTIRETY TO INCLUDE NEW AND MODIFIED ZONING DISTRICT NAMES; REPLACING ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; CONTAINING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING A PENALTY NOT TO EXCEED $2,000; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Summary
The amendment of Chapter 154 Signs is proposed to correspond to the proposed amendments of Chapter 157: Unified Development Code (UDC). The sign amendments include the incorporation of the Corridor zoning districts (CL3, CL4, CL5) sign standards that are currently located within Subchapter 5 of the UDC. Due to the creation of new zoning districts, staff has included sign standards appropriate to each new zoning district based on the most similar existing zoning districts' standards. For example, the new Single-Family Residential (SF-R) zoning district utilized the same sign standards represented in Single-Family Suburban (SF-S), originally named Single-Family 1 (RS-1). Staff also updated the names of the existing zoning districts where the nomenclature has changed over the years.
