San Clemente, CA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2008, the City of Southlake adopted the Major Corridors Urban Design Plan, which provides recommendations to further define Southlake's unique sense of place through public amenity improvements made along the City's major thoroughfares. The Urban Design Plan also recommends the creation of a wayfinding signage system that "directs drivers and pedestrians to important destinations, heightens interest by highlighting key attractions and reinforces community identity with repeated forms, colors and text fonts." The Wayfinding Sign System Plan complements and enhances the urban design efforts along the City's major roadways by adding elements that reinforce the community's identity and character. The Wayfinding Sign System Plan will serve as the framework to implement an attractive and effective signage system throughout the City that facilitates wayfinding for visitors and residents to government facilities, shopping areas, parks, and school facilities. This plan defines the desired design template for wayfinding signs within the City, identifies Southlake's key destinations, provides a sign message schedule and location analysis for each sign, and prioritizes sign installation based on the criteria of location and effectiveness. In addition, this plan makes several policy recommendations to augment a more comprehensive wayfinding sign system and thus further enhance the visitor's experience in Southlake.

The goals of a wayfinding sign system in Southlake are to: ■ Promote tourism ■ Emphasize Southlake as a destination - ■ Highlight/market key attractions The City of Southlake currently has no unified wayfinding sign system. m Enhance urban design While there are a few city directional signs, motorists in Southlake rely ' Reinforce community identity mostly on the signage of private commercial and residential development ■ Enhance the visitor's experience and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The purpose of this ■ Reduce driver and pedestrian frustration plan is to define a palette of wayfinding sign designs for use throughout the City—TxDOT roadways, City of Southlake roadways, and pedestrian Improve traffic flow environments. The plan also identifies preliminary sign locations, prioritizes ■ Improve roadway safety their installation, and provides recommendations to complement and further enhance wayfinding signage within the City. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLANS The Wayfinding Sign System Plan is one in a sequence of plans that address the enhancement of Southlake's community character, built environment and organizational effectiveness. The Plan is meant to stand both independently and in the context of the policies and plans set by other Southlake planning documents, including the Southlake Strategic Plan, Southlake 2030, Southlake 2025 and the Urban Design Plan. There is currently no unified wayfinding sign system in Southlake(top),but this plan produces a palette of wayfinding sign options to be implemented in the future(bottom).

The exercise was instrumental in establishing some initial criteria for how Southlake's signs should be designed. Redmond Schwartz Mark Design, Inc. (RSM Design) of San Clemente, California was selected as a consultant to assist in developing a sign design that balanced the standards of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) with the desired urban design of the city. To ensure this balance, representatives from TxDOT attended initial concept meetings for design advice and interpretation of the various TxDOT roadway sign requirements (addressed on page 13 of this document). Their early participation was significant, as design ideas were revised with their immediate input. The approach 1 „� also greatly increases chances of an expedited approval process when the City seeks to install signs isr I within the TxDOT roadways in Southlake. .0rit Recreation Center City Hall Distric, Justice Center O The sign designs were refined over the course of three subsequent committee meetings and numerous coriventiorl p staff/consultant meetings, including workshops on destination identification, destination nomenclature, tar D sign location analysis and a "mock-up" review meeting where full-scale replicas of the signs were evaluated in actual roadway conditions for color, size, scale and legibility. The committee sought public feedback on the plan by sending the design concepts and locations to a Southlake Program for the Involvement of Neighborhoods (SPIN) meeting held on January 21, 2010. The SPIN forum fosters open and timely communication between the citizens and city government regarding programs and issues affecting the quality of life in the community in order to provide positive relations and a stronger sense of community. Comments received from the SPIN meeting were positive about the planned signs. Because wayfinding signs would affect numerous areas of Southlake's organization, staff members from the departments of Public Safety, Community Services, Economic Development, Public Works, Planning Pictures from the WayfindingSignage Committee's & Development Services, and the City Manager's Office were consulted in the plan's development.

Material:A "Kit Of Parts" The sign will be made of various cast aluminum pieces that can be best described as a "kit of parts." The most significant advantage to such a Branding design is the ease for which a destination message may be changed, as each An important component of Southlake's wayfinding signs is an element that individual destination message is written on its own painted aluminum allows motorists to recognize that they have entered and are driving within plate.

The distinct [SIGN DESIGN CONCEPTS] Southlake Wayfincling Sign SystemPlan 12 Sign Backs The City of Southlake sees the backs of wayfinding signs as an opportunity •" to produce a very unique sign system currently unmatched by any other community in the region. Backs of aluminum panel signs often appear utilitarian and plain while sign backs simply painted a single color appear to be a sign front with a missing message. By creating a subtle design or pattern to apply to the sign's back, the back then becomes an enhancement to the urban design of the roadway corridor. This can be done by using - tone-on-tone colors, with the City's logo, or another pattern that graphically describes Southlake to visitors. Advancements in the sign industry now allow for a multitude of application methods, such as silk screen painting, digitally printing onto vinyl appliques, or digital printing directly onto the sign face itself. Such embellishments are also shown to decrease the chance of"tagging" or other forms of vandalism to the sign.

Town Square Certain design concepts have to be reevaluated for environments where slower speeds and higher attracts a number of regional and national visitors pedestrian traffic are the norm; especially sign and letter size. Southlake Town Square is Southlake's throughout the year and is arguably Southlake's mixed use downtown district. In addition to retail, restaurant, hotel, entertainment and office uses, premier attraction. Enhancing the visitors' experience Town Square is the location of city and county government offices, a U.S. Post Office, city parks, and by adding appropriately-scaled wayfinding signs to assist visitors is thus an important component of this [, .P +r; C�, ,_ ice'* ' .:. plan. — 41 i • } fry •aT ' f,'i 14 s�, '• r After a cooperative exercise between city staff and the developer and management partners of Southlake R Town Square, it was determined that few signs located at the most strategic and effective locations _ '� r, •.-.' i i r {. would be preferred. It is also the City's policy that no commercial message may be displayed on signs that �`_ ��{•■, are funded with public monies. Generalized �. destinations names are recommended, such as "Hotel," "Theater," "Shopping & Dining," etc. The F ; $ following destinations are some of those identified for signage within the Town Square pedestrian environment: ip = '- Town Hall • \M -11 n'� ti :I•T + . ,'*_ '�"ham ,• '''' ,: `jkt t ;; Post Office - . •• .- ��� ,� � .�� . ��- � � Hotel Theater ', - ,,,F,LA ,, , Police/Fire Municipal Court t 1 ,r x ii �.•II - - S.H. 114 Exit Southlake Blvd Exit [SIGN DESIGN CONCEPTS] Southlake Wayfincling Sign System • Parking Signage There are few complaints about Southlake's Town Square, but a recurring complaint over the years has been the perceived lack of parking. To the contrary, Town Square has more than enough parking available but finding the spaces is where the difficulty lies. A new wayfinding sign system can help in this instance. Southlake Town Square offers a single row of convenient head-in and parallel parking spaces in front of most storefronts. This convenient parking, however, is r..' not sufficient to meet the market's parking demands for retail and office uses. The majority of parking is actually located within dedicated parking lots and two city- , owned parking structures (garages) located off-street and behind many of the retail/office buildings. This design allows for a more human-scale and pedestrian- friendly downtown environment. It is easy to understand how a person unfamiliar with Town Square might become frustrated by the apparent lack of parking spaces. Therefore, parking directional signs are recommended to notify motorists of the presence of additional parking— / and specifically the City's structured parking garages. The existing sign system for the parking garages has adopted a blue circle with a white letter "P" to indicate "parking" (shown at right). It is recommended that the same symbol continue out into the streets of Town Square. The proposed "P" uses the same "Goudy Old Style Bold" font as other city wayfinding signs with a directional arrow ,I / placed on the left side. An unobtrusive size of 12-inches in diameter is recommended as well as a thin black frame to match the existing �! stop signs in Town Square. /' 27 Southlake Wayfinding Sign System [SIGN DESIGN CONCEPTS] To avoid visual clutter with too many vertical poles in the Town Square environment, the existing light poles should to be utilized for wayfinding signs as well. All of the decorative light poles within Town Square are, however, owned by one of the City's franchise power utility providers. Close coordination and cooperation will be necessary to achieve the desired result of placing wayfinding signs on existing light poles. A stand-alone pole type is also provided as an alternative for corners without light poles or where use of a light pole is prohibitive. The illustration on the following page provides two design options for pedestrian signs, both with three-inch letters and the same colors used on other wayfinding signs. The first is a scaled-down version of the aforementioned TxDOT Roadway Sign. A maximum of three destinations would be listed per sign and, in the event the sign were attached to a light pole, the sign would "hang" off the side furthest from the drive lanes. The second option is a simpler and more traditional "T-pole" design where destinations branch from the pole in at least two directions, as illustrated in the rendering below. Each painted aluminum plate would be framed in black to match the existing stop signs and individually affixed to the light pole. This allows the most flexibility where signs could change even with special annual events. This is the preferred design for the pedestrian environment.

RECOMMENDATIONS 1) The City recognizes the attention the Southlake Town Square mixed use development receives as a regional shopping attraction. Surveys of Southlake Town Square's patrons show that more than 70% are from outside Southlake. Surveys have also shown that finding the development can be difficult for visitors, even from S.H. 114. Therefore, it is recommended that the developer and/or management partners of Southlake Town Square petition for TxDOT to place blue signs on SH 114 announcing "Southlake Town Square Next Exit" for Carroll Avenue in both eastbound and westbound directions. 2) The City of Southlake's Economic Development Department should continue to educate and encourage local retail businesses about the TxDOT Logo and Directional Sign Program for - 0 advertising on blue TxDOT signs along freeways. 3) The only logo or icon that should be used on wayfinding signs is the official City of Southlake logo. 4) Should TxDOT see it necessary to deny the Intersection Announcement Sign Design provided in this document, TxDOT and the City of Southlake should move forward with intersection announcement signs that do meet TxDOT approval. 5) This plan does not address the City of Southlake entry features described in the 2008 Major Corridors Urban Design Plan. It is recommended that those entry features continue to be explored and pursued as they are important welcoming messages to visitors of Southlake. 6) No commercial message, icon, or logo should be used on City-owned wayfinding signs. Timarron Country Club, however, is recognized as being unique to Southlake and is and will continue to be the only full service eighteen-hole golf course with frequent tournaments and events within the city limits. It is therefore provided a place in Southlake's Wayfinding Sign System. 57 Southlake Wayfinding Sign System [RECOMMENDATIONS] 7) As the DFW Connector project develops, the City of Southlake should emphasize to TxDOT the desire to have a sign announcing entrance into Southlake (i.e. "Southlake Next 5 Exits"). \ 8) The City of Southlake and TxDOT should work together to provide illuminated street name signs that incorporate the City's logo at all controlled intersections along SH 114 and FM1709. 9) The developers and property managers of Southlake Town Square1 should consider developing an internal directory sign system for Southlake Town Square's retail, restaurant, office and entertainment O uses. 10) An internal wayfinding sign system should also be developed for all City of kV '1a�T Southlake public parks and facilities. Such a system should implement similar ,;r- and consistent design principles as outlined in this planning document. " - g p p p g Specifically, in areas such as Bob Jones Park and Bicentennial Park, automobile ' "turn off" stations may be placed so that drivers and pedestrians can conveniently review an entire map of the park to determine their next step.
