Currently, pole signs in excess of 20-feet in height up to a limit of 40-feet are allowed as a conditional use on property that is zoned "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District, "CC" Community Commercial District and "HC" Highway Commercial District provided that property has frontage on State Highway 360, State Highway 114 (excluding Business 114 i.e. Texan Trail), Farm to Market Road 2499 and State Highway 121—excluding that area of State Highway 121NVilliam D. Tate Avenue that is 2,400 feet south of the southern right-of-way of Timberline Drive all the way south to the city limit line. In simpler terms, a request for a pole sign in excess of 20- feet must have the appropriate zoning and be located along a state highway (excluding State Highway 26) or Farm to Market 2499 however, no pole sign in excess of 20-feet can be located on State Highway 121/William D. Tate south of the State Highway 121/360 intersection. The exclusion of this portion of State Highway 121 relative to pole signs in excess of 20-feet was based primarily on the desire to limit visual clutter along one of the main entryways into the city.
