PROJECT: Amendment to the Master Sian Plan for Granite Place Two
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Corgan, on behalf of Granite Properties, requests approval of an amendment to the
previously approved Master Sign Plan for Granite Place Two to permit one additional
upper -story sign on the building located at 601 State Street, Southlake, Texas.
DETAILS: This request is a proposed amendment to the Granite Place Two Master Sign Plan.
The amendment adds an additional upper -story sign on the north elevation,
identified as "Sign H". The proposed sign area measures 5 feet in height by 50 feet
in width and allows for any letter or logo size that fits within the defined sign area,
with a maximum letter and logo height of 5 feet (60 inches). Approval of this
amendment would result in a total of eight wall signs on the site, consisting of five
upper -story signs and three first -floor signs.
All previously approved conditions of the Master Sign Plan under MSP21-0006,
SV22-0013 and SV23-0021 will remain in effect unless otherwise approved.
At the February 05, 2026, Sign Board meeting, the Sign Board recommended
approval (5-0) with the addendum to remove Sign "C" from the original Master Sign
Plan to allow the addition of Sign "H" as requested by the applicant.
Case No.
