Council approves large sign package for H‑E‑B and Jovi's with conditions and taller pylon
Summary
Council unanimously approved amendments to sign standards at 1040 West Centerville Road allowing larger wall panels and a 65‑foot pylon with masonry base, contingent on landscaping and reduced front‑wall area to 569.712 sq ft.
Council approved a zoning‑code amendment and modified sign standards to accommodate H‑E‑B and a new Jovi's tenant at the long‑vacant center on West Centerville Road. Staff described a package of deviations — larger front and rear wall signs, illuminated panel signs, a taller pylon (applicant requested 65 ft; Plan Commission recommended 60 ft) and a monument sign raised from 7 to 10 feet — and proposed conditions including an 8‑foot landscape buffer along Centerville and a masonry base for the pylon up to the first sign panel.
The applicant team (FSG Signs and Jovi’s/H‑E‑B representatives) said the changes are intended to modernize and revive a dated shopping center and that the pylon and wall signage will be proportionate to enlarged facades and adjacent freeway visibility. Council moved to approve staff and Plan Commission recommendations with two explicit adjustments: reduce the front wall sign area to 569.712 square feet and set the pylon height to 65 feet. The motion passed unanimously.
