Before you file in Rowlett

Planned developmentsA planned development (PD) ordinance can set its own development standards and may change the sign rules (Sec. 77-205.A). If the property is zoned PD, check its ordinance with the city.
Special use permits and overlaysRowlett's zoning map shows some properties only as SUP (special use permit) or IO (industrial overlay), without the base district. Ask the city which base district applies; the sign table depends on it.
District directional signsOff-site district signs inside a larger development need a district sign plan approved by the City Council (Sec. 77-512.F).
Code rewrite under wayRowlett is rewriting its Development Code and Form Based Code (Recode Rowlett). Sign rules may change when it is adopted. Source
