A. GENERAL: Notwithstanding anything in this ordinance to the
contrary, the erection of a sign or signs may be approved pursuant to
this section under a conditional sign permit approved by the City
Council. The purpose of this section is to allow for a specialized
review of signs which may not be appropriate generally without
certain restrictions, but which, if controlled as to the number, size,
height, color, location, lighting, or relation to adjacent properties,
would promote the health, safety, and welfare of the community.
Conditional permitting of signs shall not be based upon the content
of the sign, but is intended to allow for the evaluation of the physical
impact of the proposed sign on adjacent properties and to ensure
adequate mitigation of potentially unfavorable factors, such as the
number, size, height, color, location, lighting, and other potentially
unfavorable impacts.
B. APPLICATION: An application for a conditional sign permit shall
be submitted to the Building Official and shall include all documents
as required by Section 4 of this ordinance. Additionally, the
applicant shall submit construction plans drawn by a registered
professional engineer or architect in the State of Texas and also
provide renderings of the particular sign types, facades, materials,
compositions, dimensions, lighting, and colors.
City Council
Action: Consider the amendment to the Conditional Sign Permit for Gateway Plaza,
Phase I, Building 6.

Dear City of Southlake; -R p a 4 - ? 8 1
We request the vertical sign on the south pillar.
As we knew that the sign is can e of the most important
for small restaurant business.
The sign on the south face of the building is the most
important to us because it is the only opportunity
for people driving on Southlake Blvd to see our Restaurant
But unfortunately the designated sign area is hide
by pillars (see attached picture).
We strongly believe that your reconsideration to let
us have a vertical sign will attract more traffic to us.
'The first step to success of business,'
We believe that our restaurant will be one of famous
place in Southlake and will affect more people
to come to Gateway Plaza and City of Southlake.
Thank you again for this reconsideration, as this matter
will help bath of us towards gr of business success,
Sincerely,
The Team of Shogun, Southloke
