Summary:
The applicant is seeking approval for a Master Sign Program for the commercial plaza located at 800-898 North Federal Hwy. Pursuant to §155.2416 of the Pompano Beach Code of Ordinances, multi-tenant developments exceeding 5,000 square feet and located along designated arterial or collector roads are required to obtain Master Sign Program approval from the Architectural Appearance Committee (AAC) prior to obtaining a Zoning Compliance Permit.
The Master Sign Program establishes standards for building signage, including construction and mounting, size and placement, colors, and fonts. Building signs for tenants are generally limited to one sign per tenant frontage, with sign area restricted to the lesser of 10 percent of the tenant façade area or 75 percent of the sign band area. The signs will be illuminated, channel letters, aluminum with 5-inch returns. Text size will be 15”, 24”, or 36” letter heights for single-line signs, and 15” letter heights for two-line signs. Letters will be either white, red, or black, and the font will be either Arial Bold or Helvetica Bold. The signs will be centered within the approved sign band areas. The Program also establishes standards for tenant signage on the one existing free-standing sign.
The property is located on the east side of North Federal Highway, across from the Pompano Beach Community Park.
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.
