Board grants sign-area variances for two Socorro Logistics Lane buildings
Summary
The board approved requests to allow 180‑square‑foot wall signs on two Socorro Logistics Lane buildings (where the code allows 50 sq. ft.), following presentations from planning staff and the applicant’s representative about visibility, logo layout and lighting.
Planning staff presented Item 10 seeking sign-area variances for two buildings at 9220 and 9250 Socorro Logistics Lane (ICMUD zoning). Under §46-6-34(24E) the code allows 50 sq. ft. per building; the applicant proposed 180 sq. ft. wall signs for each building, a requested variance of 130 sq. ft. per building. Staff recommended approval.
Representatives for the property owner described tenant branding and visibility needs for truck traffic and employees entering the logistics park. One presenter said the sign uses significant blank-space area when measured and that letters themselves are comparable in height to an existing Honeywell sign nearby; the representative explained the panels would be flush-mounted and not halo‑backlit. “We want more visibility,” a representative said, adding the company is investing in the campus and expects more signs in the future.
After questions about measuring methodology, sightlines from North Loop and lighting, the board voted to approve the variance requests (mover recorded as Marion/Marion Cruz; second recorded as Deborah Lopez). The motions carried and staff will file the approvals with the permit record.
