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.

Southlake Blvd. (FM 1709), SH 114 and N. Kimball Avenue ZA03 -011 1 Mr. Ward: Please accept this letter as our request fora conditional sign permit for the subject site. This letter'is in reference to the attached comprehensive signage plan for the redevelopment of the Wal -mart Center now referred to as Southlake Corn ers. i As shown on our Site Plan, this redevelopment is proposing to reduce the size of the Wal- Mart building and add additional retail shops closer to N. Kimball.Avenue. This revised site layout redefines the, traffic and pedestrian patterns for this site along both E. Southlake Boulevard and the service road of SH 114. Being a redevelopment of an existing retail operation, and having essentially three street fronts to contend with, the challenge is to create individual architectural elements that enhance the site, while substantially meeting all the city guidelines and ordinances. It is our contention to incorporate the signage onto the various facades and maintain a uniform appearance and balance from all street frontages. It is on this basis that we request the attached conditional sign permit. If there are any questions please call me. " Si ere , e .
