PROJECT:Sign Variance to the Southlake Town Square Phase I Conditional Sign
Permit (Master Sign Plan) regulations for the Z Gallerie
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY:
Willow Creek Signs, representing Z Gallerie, is requesting approval of a
variance to the Southlake Town Square Phase I Conditional Sign Permit
(Master Sign Plan) regulations for the Z Gallerie located at 280 State Street,
Southlake Texas.
DETAILS:
The purpose of this item is to gain approval of a sign variance to the Conditional
Sign Permit for Southlake Town Square Phase I for the total number of sign
types on the same facade. The Phase I conditional sign permit, adopted in
November of 1998, allows up to two (2) of the following three types of signs on
each building wall facing a street, drive or parking area: a) one (1) fascia or (1)
building blade sign; and b) one (1) pedestrian blade sign.
The Z Gallerie currently has one (1) fascia sign on the curved elevation of the
building at the intersection of State and Prospect Street (northeast façade), a
pedestrian blade sign on the State Street elevation (east façade), a building
blade sign on Prospect Street (north façade), and an attached sign on the rear
of the building (west façade facing internal drive and parking area).
The applicant is seeking approval to replace the pedestrian blade sign (4-sq. ft.)
on State Street with a building blade sign (9.66 sq. ft.). Currently, the attached
sign is counted as the State Street fascia sign which would only allow a
pedestrian blade sign in addition to the fascia sign.
