121-06: SIGNAGE:
The following signage regulations and design criteria shall apply to the development of all properties designated on the Sketch Plan:
   A.   Development Entrance Signs: These are signs that are being allowed within the development to establish and define the project's overall signage character in terms of color, material, lighting, and to be unifying features that define the development with through the use of a cohesive theme.
      1.   Illumination: Since these signs will be located within several possible zoning districts within the development (residential and commercial), for consistency these signs shall be allowed to be externally illuminated, halo lighted, or they may be internally illuminated if the light intensity is muted through the use of materials and/or face applied vinyl consistent with the development colors as depicted in the preserve signage and identity package on file with the city.
      2.   Timing of Installation: These sign elements shall be installed at the time of final platting of the property on which the sign(s) will be placed and may be located within the buffers along SW Grand Prairie Parkway. At the time of final platting, an easement shall be recorded for the corresponding placement of the sign(s) along with acceptable documentation, as determined by the city that outlines maintenance, repair and removal responsibilities for the signs.
      3.   Primary Entrance Signs (labeled as 'P' on the PUD sketch map): Primary Entrance signs shall include the "Preserve" logo, shall not exceed seven feet (7') in height and the maximum size of the sign copy shall not exceed twenty-four (24) square feet. If a proposed primary entrance sign meets the criteria of a landscape sign as permitted according to the current City sign code, the sign may be increased to eight feet (8') in height. The Primary Entrance signs shall be allowed at all corners of intersecting streets with SW Grand Prairie Parkway and shall be setback a minimum of fifteen feet (15') from the ultimate street right-of-way line of all adjacent roads. The signs may be located within the buffer along SW Grand Prairie Parkway.
      4.   Secondary Entrance Signs (labeled as 'S' on the PUD sketch map): Secondary Entrance signs shall include the "Preserve" logo, shall not exceed six feet (6') in height and the maximum size of the sign copy area shall not exceed fourteen (14) square feet. If a proposed secondary entrance sign meets the criteria of a landscape sign as permitted according to the current City sign code, the sign may be increased to eight feet (8') in height. The Secondary Entrance signs shall be allowed at all corners of intersecting streets with SW Grand Prairie Parkway and shall be setback a minimum of ten feet (10') from the ultimate street right-of-way line. The signs may be located within the buffer along SW Grand Prairie Parkway.
      5.   Gateway Signs (labeled as 'G' on the PUD sketch map): Gateway signs shall include the "Preserve" logo, shall not exceed eight feet (8') in height and the maximum sign copy shall not exceed eleven (11) square feet. A Gateway sign shall be allowed on each side of SW Grand Prairie Parkway at both the north and south ends of the development and shall be setback a minimum of ten feet (10') from the ultimate street right-of-way line. The signs may be located within the buffer along SW Grand Prairie Parkway.
      6.   Boundary Markers (Labeled as 'M' on the PUD sketch map): Boundary Markers shall include the "Preserve" logo, shall not exceed eight feet (8') in height and the maximum area of the sign (from ground to top of sign) shall not exceed fourteen (14) square feet. Boundary markers shall be setback a minimum of ten feet (10') from the ultimate street right-of-way line and may be located within the buffer park area along SW Grand Prairie Parkway.
   B.   Non-Development Monument Signs: Monument signs for individual properties within the development that are not part of the Preserve development sign package (i.e. multifamily residential and non-residential properties within The Preserve PUD) shall comply with current City sign code. Signs associated with residential development shall not be in addition to Primary or Secondary Entrance signs: one or the other may be implemented at entrances off of SW Grand Prairie Parkway. Signs associated with residential development which take primary access off of a roadway other than SW Grand Prairie Parkway shall be allowed signage in accordance with city code. All non-development monument signs are required to incorporate The Preserve logo, including the identified development colors and materials. To accommodate The Preserve name or logo to be added to the top of the sign, an additional one foot (1') of height and eight (8) square feet of sign area shall be permitted in addition to what would normally be allowed by the City sign code. It is strongly encouraged, but not required that tenant identification on multi-tenant commercial signs be of the same font style, size and color. Non-development monument signs shall be located no closer than one hundred feet (100') from Primary Entrance Signs or Secondary Entrance Signs.
   C.   Wall Signs: Building wall signage for medium density and commercial properties shall comply with current City sign code.
   D.   Neighborhood Signs: Neighborhood signs as depicted in The Preserve Signage and Identity Package shall comply with the regulations for Residential Subdivision Signs within the current City sign code.(Ord. 2383, 10-21-2019; amd. Ord. 2413, 5-4-2020)
