Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Zoning Application No. Z0625-0404 submitted by Centurion American on behalf of MM Mesquite Retail 3 LLC for a change of zoning to amend Planned Development - Light Commercial Ordinance Nos 4595, 4799, and 5019 to allow the installation of a 30-foot-tall multi-tenant freestanding sign located at 21717 IH 635 (also known as 355 and 375 Rodeo Center Blvd).
(No responses in favor and one response in opposition to the application have been received from property owners within the statutory notification area. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval with certain stipulations.)
Body
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Iron Horse Planned Development (PD) to allow a 30-foot-tall multi-tenant freestanding sign for the Iron Horse Commercial development located along Rodeo Center Boulevard and IH-635. The Iron Horse PD currently does not permit pole signs. Under the Mesquite Sign Ordinance, monument signs are allowed up to 50 square feet in area with a maximum height of 10 feet. For properties adjacent to a freeway with a posted speed limit over 55 mph (as is the case here, per the plat showing frontage along IH-635), monument signs may be up to 20 feet in height and 100 square feet in area. The applicant is requesting approval for a sign that exceeds the height limit but maintains a sign face area of 100 square feet.
The residential portion of Iron Horse has been completed, and commercial development within the project includes Wave Wash, 7-Eleven, and Panda Express. Additionally, two multi-tenant buildings (355 and 375 Rodeo Center Blvd) have been constructed. Ojos Locos restaurant will occupy the building at 375 Rodeo Center Blvd, while Action Behavior Center, a medical office use, will partially occupy 355 Rodeo Center Blvd.
On August 11, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request by a vote of 7-0.
