Summary:
The applicant is requesting approval for a Revision to the Master Sign Program approved for the Live! District common areas in August of 2023. The original approval was for 13 signs for the new development known as The Pomp!. The requested revision (“Phase 2”) includes 10 monument signs and 6 directional signs. The subject property is located on the east side of Powerline Road (AKA: SW 26 Avenue), west of the Tri-Rail train tracks, south of Racetrack Road (AKA: SW 3 Street), and north of the Cypress Bend community.
In 2020, the City Commission approved Land Use Plan Amendment and a Rezoning application for the Planned Development establishing the Live! District Master Plan (Ordinance 2019-107, amended with Ordinance 2021-02). As part of the Planned Development, the applicant received approval from the City Commission to propose modified standards and distinct sign requirements for this development. The sign guidelines were adopted as an exhibit to the Master Plan by Ordinance (Ordinance 2022-58). A copy of the Ordinance has been included with this report for reference.
After several Site Plans were approved for development consistent with the Master Plans, and reviewed by the Architectural Appearance Committee, the applicant received approval for the “Phase 1” common area District Master Sign Program. The applicant is now seeking to amend the common areas Master Sign program to accommodate the latest developments and District improvements. The applicant has provided the new drawings for the monument signs and the updated overall district site plan. The applicant also seeks to add more locations of the directional signage, the design for which was previously approved.
The Phase 2 signs within the package for this Master Sign Program includes the following:
• Ten (10) Monument Signs, two of which are located within the frontages of Powerline Road and Racetrack Road, and eight (8) of which are located internal to the site.
• Six (6) Vehicle Direction signs, located within the Interior Sign Area (B02).
• All of the proposed signs are consistent with the modified sign regulations adopted by the City Commission.
Pursuant to Section 155.2205, Code of Ordinances, the Architectural Appearance Committee may require such changes in plans and specifications as, in its judgment may be requisite and appropriate to ensure that the exterior appearance of buildings and structures enhances the aesthetic character of the surrounding development by complying with the architectural appearance standards of this Code and approved design guidelines.
