Council Approves Sign Code Exception for Mural at Vitruvian

Vitruvian West Phase II is the second of three multi-family apartment buildings known as Vitruvian West, located at the northeast corner of Marsh Lane and Vitruvian Way. The developer, UDR, Inc., has substantially completed this phase and presented to Council at its June 8 meeting a mural spanning two adjacent facades at the southeastern portion of the building for consideration.
Murals are considered "signs" by Addison's Sign Ordinance and UDR's proposed project is well in excess of the area requirements prescribed for the Ordinance. Council approved a meritorious exception for the new Vitruvian mural at its June 8 meeting.

The proposed concept plan envisions a roughly 46-foot tall by 52-foot wide mural that spans two adjacent facades at the southeastern portion of the building. The mural design highlights key elements of Texas' heritage, the northern mockingbird and bluebonnets.
