Body
REQUESTOR:
Economic Development, Tourism, and Planning Department
BACKGROUND:
The subject property includes two lots located at 1501 and 1505 LBJ Freeway. The site is developed with two seven-story multi-tenant office buildings (Park West 1 & 2) and associated structured parking garages constructed in the 1980s. The applicant, Forge Commercial, requests approval of a detailed site plan with special exceptions related to signage.
The current zoning of this site is Planned Development District No. 78 (PD-78), which limits the total number of signs per property to a maximum of two. The eastern office building (Park West 2) currently features two wall signs at the top level of the building for existing tenants. There is no wall signage currently installed on the western office building (Park West 1). The applicant is proposing to allow a total of six wall signs (three per building), requiring a special exception from PD-78 requirements. No other changes are proposed to the existing office development.
