Sign Variance for Brio Tuscan Grille
PROJECT:
REQUEST: This is a request for a variance to the Southlake Town Square Grand Avenue District
conditional sign permit requirements for Brio Tuscan Grille, located at 1431 Plaza
Place. A sign package specific to the Brio Tuscan Grille was approved as part of the
Grand Avenue District conditional sign permit. Exposed neon was not proposed or
approved for this sign. The applicant is now requesting exposed neon on two
previously approved signs located on the north and south building facades. With the
exception of the exposed neon, the signs comply with the City Council approved sign
drawings that were included as a part of the conditional sign permit for the Grand
Avenue District. The City Council approval of the Grand Avenue district conditional
sign permit specifically stated that other than the theater signage, all neon signage
must be approved by City Council. The neon is proposed to be affixed to the 3 inch
deep open face channel letters spelling “Brio”. The exposed neon is to be clear gold.
No other areas of the sign will have exposed neon (see Attachment E).
ACTION NEEDED: Consider variance request.
