In a recent government meeting, officials discussed zoning file 2426, which involves a request for a Planned Development (PD) amendment for a mixed-use site located at the southeast corner of Central Expressway and Campbell Road. Originally rezoned in 2005, the 14.8-acre site currently features 620,000 square feet of restaurant, retail, office, and multifamily spaces.

The applicant is seeking the amendment to implement a master sign plan, which would allow for signage that does not comply with existing city regulations. If approved by the city council, the applicant will submit a detailed master sign plan for review by the city plan commission. Proposed signage may include monument signs, pedestrian kiosks, and wall-mounted signs.

Key considerations for the sign plan will include its consistency with the architectural design of the development, its compatibility with surrounding uses, and its ability to create a unique sense of place. Notably, the plan will not permit off-site signage, although there is a technicality regarding one proposed sign that may extend slightly onto adjacent DART property for visibility purposes.

During the meeting, officials confirmed that any electronic signage would be addressed in the master sign plan, adhering to existing regulations. The public hearing for zoning file 2426 was opened, with the applicant present to provide further details. No public correspondence had been received regarding the request at the time of the meeting.
