Council approves sign variance for Springtown Animal 24-hour Emergency Clinic

Springtown City Council · January 23, 2026

Summary

After a public hearing the council approved a variance to allow a wall-mounted sign for the new Springtown Animal 24-hour Emergency Clinic, citing site constraints and the need for visible wayfinding; the vote was unanimous.

The Springtown City Council, acting as the Zoning Board of Adjustment, voted unanimously on Jan. 22 to approve a variance request permitting a wall-mounted sign for the proposed Springtown Animal 24-hour Emergency Clinic at 524 North Main Street.

Applicant representative Van Miller, president of Elite Signs of Texas, told the council that parcel setbacks and property lines limit options for a pole or ground sign and that a building-mounted wall sign would improve visibility for motorists and emergency responders. Miller said the clinic's owner, Linda Gursky, was unable to attend due to an injury. "We wanna be able to see where that emergency clinic is," Miller told the council, noting the sign would be tasteful and not overbearing.

Staff reminded council that decisions of the board of adjustment may be appealed to district court. Council member Beers moved to approve the variance; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously. Council members expressed hope the owner heals quickly and said they look forward to seeing the finished signage.
