Commission approves special sign district at Landmark to support phased commercial development
Summary
Planning staff recommended and the commission unanimously approved a special sign district for the Landmark (formerly Hunter Ranch) development on I‑35W frontage, allowing larger ground signs and sign types to support phased retail, including a grocery anchor.
The commission voted 6–0 to recommend approval of a special sign district at Landmark (formerly Hunter Ranch), a roughly 120‑acre commercial parcel along I‑35W and Robson Ranch Road.
Cameron Robertson told the commission the district would permit a series of larger multi‑tenant ground signs and targeted temporary/wayfinding signs tailored to the site’s extensive TxDOT easements and phased development. "The purpose of this special sign district is for some ground sign sizing locations and numbers as well as some additional sign types and definitions that do not currently meet our chapter 33 regulations," Robertson said in his presentation. Staff said the district includes design controls, CCR review of sign materials and limits on illuminated ground signs.
Commissioners asked about portable sign standards and political signage; staff clarified portable (A‑frame) signs would be limited in effective area and height in the district and that typical political signs are treated differently under the code. The commission recommended approval 6–0; staff said no public comments were received during the notice period.
