The Flower Mound Planning and Zoning meeting on September 22, 2025, focused on a proposal to increase the square footage of two signs located on FM 1171. The request seeks to raise the allowable sign size from 60 square feet to 108 square feet to enhance visibility and legibility for drivers traveling at 50 miles per hour.

The proposal includes one sign facing eastbound and another facing westbound. The westbound sign's placement is particularly critical as it is adjacent to commercial property owned by the town. The planning team emphasized the importance of ensuring that the new signage does not obstruct or distract from existing commercial signage while remaining visible to motorists.

To accommodate the increased size, adjustments were made to the sign's design, including spreading out the letters for better readability. The team presented visual comparisons between the current 60 square foot design and the proposed 108 square foot design, illustrating the differences in legibility from various distances.

The eastbound sign's location was also adjusted due to significant slopes and utility easements in the area, which required careful planning to ensure compliance with local regulations while maximizing visibility.

Overall, the proposed changes aim to improve the effectiveness of the signage while adhering to the town's planning guidelines. The Planning and Zoning Commission will review the proposal further before making a final decision.
