On July 14, 2022, the City Council approved proposed amendments to the sign ordinance. The approved code amendments addressed edits for consistency and clarification, past reasonable requests by applicants that could not be accommodated by the previous sign code, and changes in sign technology and materials that have occurred during the past 9 years. In conjunction with amendments, new definitions were added.
The purpose of the sign code is to provide standards for the appropriate design, scale, and placement of signs. The code regulates permanent signs, building signs, freestanding signs, and temporary signs. The standards for the allowable display area are based three road types: freeways, commercial roads, and neighborhood roads. “Special areas” identified in the code where separate sign standards supersede road type standards. The amount of display area is dependent on the road type/special area where the sign is located, lot and/or building size, and occupant frontage length of a building or lot frontage length for freestanding signs.
Amendments in the list that follows pertain to new concepts in the code. Click “Learn more” for more information and to view examples.
Amendments to the development code are recommended in Round Rock 2030, the city’s comprehensive plan. Round Rock 2030 recommends continually reviewing and revising development standards pertaining to commercial development, as needed. City staff continues to monitor changes in sign technology and consumer preferences to balance developers and business owners’ needs with community planning goals and design standards desired by the City.
