Description/Background:
The subject property is a commercial development located on the west side of 1300 E. south of 7755. The High Point Center Development is a 31.89 acre planned commercial center that was originally developed as part of a phased master plan starting in 1987. In 1991 a sign theme was established for the development to provide guidance on monument, wall, and pylon signs. (Exhibit #1 - Planning Commission Minutes) Two pylon signs were constructed at 25’6” in height with a textured stucco and brick base matching that of the building. (Exhibit #2 - Existing Signs).
In addition, the pylon signs were limited to 122 square feet for the face and required that the wording for “High Point Center” be lit in neon. The base of the sign was required to contain a brick landscaped planter. The monument signs on the development were required to match the pedestal base of the pylon signs with the basic design to match the pylon center.
