A master signage plan is an administrative permit which establishes standards (size, design, location, etc.) for all exterior signs associated with a multi-tenant/multi-building development with two or more tenants, whether on a single lot or multiple lots. The sign standards of the code provide clear regulations for the permitting, design, location, construction, modification, use, maintenance, and removal of signs in the City of Tyler.
a. Applicability
A master signage plan is required for all multiple-tenant buildings, planned district developments and all multi-building or multi-occupant commercial developments.
b. General Requirements
1. The lot or lots involved must be contiguous constitute a single cohesive development.
2. The sign or signs must be located on a lot that one of the advertised businesses occupies. Alternately the property owner may secure an easement, and provide written evidence of such, from the owner or entity responsible for an adjacent property where a sign may be placed.
3. The sign must be designed in the overall architectural style of the buildings within the development.
4. The signs may be any sign type that is otherwise allowed by this code.
5. Private streets within the boundaries of the development are treated as public rights- of-way for purposes of determining allowable signage.
6. Individual pad or lease sites, defined in an approved site plan, are treated as separate lots for purposes of determining allowable signage; however, it is intended that a business will not be allowed advertising on both the multiple tenant (shared) sign and another free-standing business identification sign.
7. In addition to signage that would otherwise be allowed on a lot for business identification purposes, one additional monument sign not exceeding eight feet in height and 32 square feet in area may be located at each intersection of public roadways and/or private roadways for purposes of directing traffic to various areas and businesses within the development.
8. All other provisions of this code will be applicable to this sign category, including but not limited to, allowed number based on road frontage (multiple lot developments are treated as a single lot for this purpose), allowable size as a function of zoning district, spacing, illumination, materials, etc.
9. A wall sign displaying the name of a shopping center may be allowed for developments with less than 2,000 square feet in façade area as long as the proposed principal sign and tenants' signs do not exceed the maximum areas which all tenants with direct outdoor entrance or storefront could have individually. (Ord. No. 0-2012-83; 10/10/12)
c. Application Submittal Requirements
1. Master Application Form
2. $80 Filing Fee
3. The applicant shall provide two paper copies and one digital copy of the proposed site plan consistent with the information from the Site Development Plan Check List.

2. Review for completeness of application
3. Staff review
4. Final action

Per Article VIII, Division G of this code, an appeal of an administrative decision such as a master sign plan) may be filed by any person aggrieved by the administrative decision; and any officer, department, board or bureau of the city affected by the decision.

Flags and flag poles are considered signs and are therefore subject to these regulations:
a. Flag poles erected in the city are limited to a maximum height of 35 feet, measured from the highest point of the pole to the ground level. Individual flag size is restricted to 24 square feet in area. A Flag and its groungd-supported staff shall be located on private property behind the property line.
b. A maximum of three flags or a maximum of three flagpoles with one flag on each flagpole may be located on a property.

(Ord. No. 0-2010-20; 3/10/10) (Ord. No. O-2010-119; 11/10/10) (Ord. No. 0-2023-29; 4/26/23)
a. Sign Pooling
A freestanding, joint use sign may be permitted to serve two or more tracts, each of which would otherwise be eligible for one freestanding sign. The joint use permit may authorize a larger area of a single sign utilized by all tracts than would be permitted for individual freestanding signs serving each tract. The total square footage of informational area may not exceed 80 percent of the cumulative area which could be permitted for the individual tracts served by the joint use sign. A joint use sign permit may only be granted in lieu of permits for individual freestanding signs. The total square footage in the informational area for a joint use sign may not exceed 300 square feet.
b. Joint Use Sign Permits
1. Before authorization of any joint use sign permit, the request therefore will be referred to the planning director for study and recommendation by staff concerning the effect of the proposed use on the character and development of the adjacent land uses. The planning director will decide whether to approve or deny the request.
2. The following information must accompany all joint use sign permit applications:
(a) A joint use agreement signed and acknowledged by each participating tract owner.
(b) The joint use agreement must specify the rights of each owner to use the joint use sign(s).
(c) The joint use agreement must stipulate that the rights to use the sign through each party to the agreement be set forth and the rights run with the land to the full benefit of the successors of the parties.
(d) A detailed site plan showing location, size, and architectural elevation of all proposed freestanding signs.
(e) A legal description of the area served by the joint use permit and sign and of each individual tract.
a. The copy/artwork on an awning must not exceed the area and size that is allowed for a wall sign on the wall to which it is attached. However, the total area of wall signs and awning signs on any wall must not exceed the area and size allowed for a single wall sign and must not extend more than 75 percent of the length of the awning.
b. All awnings and canopies have the potential to be signs and are therefore subject to Sign Construction and Maintenance Standards set forth in Section 10-406.
c. The entire length and height of backlit awnings in which the lighting causes the illumination of the awning, of which the length will be limited to 75 percent of the façade of the building, will be counted toward the allowed square footage of the attached sign. (Ord. No. 0-2009-70, 6/10/09) (Ord. No. 0-2013-77; 8/28/13)
a. In addition to the standards set forth in Table, all electronic message centers (EMC) signs located in the city must adhere to the following requirements:
1. EMCs must meet all the requirements of this sign code. All EMC signs shall comply with the appropriate City sign and other regulations.
2. The maximum height of any freestanding EMC that is not attached to or part of a multi-part freestanding sign is eight feet.

3. The maximum area of an EMC sign shall not exceed sixty-four (64) square feet, and is in addition to other sign allowances. As an EMC sign is a form of reader board, the EMC sign square footage may not be coupled with any other form of reader board.
4. Minimum separation between EMC signs is 70’, unless approved by the Planning Director based on visibility needs.
5. EMCs may be used for all or part of an on-premise sign that displays a commercial or noncommercial message. EMCs may not display off-premises commercial advertising, unless located in DBAC properties within the downtown planning area defined in the Comprehensive Plan and meeting all requirements of subsection 16. below;
6. All EMC signs shall have a minimum hold of three (3) seconds, plus one (1) second for each additional line of copy over three (3) lines. (Ord. No. 0-2010-119; 11/10/10)
7. No animation of any type, or flashing light, or "spell on" display mode is allowed on any EMC.
8. All EMC signs shall be antiglare. All EMCs must be equipped with an automatic dimmer device.
9. As measured at the property line, the maximum light emanation from an EMC sign shall be no greater than .2 footcandles.

16. EMC marquee signs in DBAC properties within the downtown planning area defined in the Comprehensive Plan shall be placed on a projecting marquee feature for on-premise and/or off-premise advertising and may only be permitted through a Special Use Permit approved by City Council. When considering a Special Use Permit for an EMC marquee sign, the City Council may consider the following:
(a) Sign is contextual to the architecture and/or historical image of building and DBAC district in general.
(b) Sign includes time dedicated to promoting downtown Tyler.
(c) Sign meets the intent to restore and rehabilitate historically used marquees.
(d) Sign color scheme promotes downtown sense of place.
