PROJECT: Master Sian Plan for Granite Place Two
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Granite Properties, Inc. is requesting approval of a Master Sign Plan for the new
Granite Place Two development located at 601 State Street, Southlake, Texas.
REQUEST: The proposed Master Sign Plan includes sign regulations for six (6) attached
signs; 4 on the south and 2 on the west elevations and a monument sign. The
proposed building signs are 3 upper story signs and 3 first floor signs (the tenants
have not been identified for this request). Additionally, the applicant is proposing
architectural asymmetrical wall washer LED lighting at the base of the pilasters at
the south elevation of the building. This area is not governed by any of the current
Master Sign Plans that regulate Southlake Town Square signage. The Sign
Ordinance No. 704, as amended, prohibits upper story signage unless approved
as part of a master sign plan.
A detailed summary of the requested master sign plan is as follows:
