Summary:
The applicant is requesting approval for a Master Sign Program for the Live! Block Development within the Live! District. 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.
This Master Sign Program is a revision to a previously approved Master Sign Program that was granted approval. However, the site plan is currently obtaining a new Development Order for the changes proposed. Therefore, a new Master Sign Program is required rather than an amendment.
Prior approvals for Master Sign Program(s) within the District have been for the common areas controlled and developed by the Master Developer of the overall project. The applicant is proposing a variety of sign types, compliant with the standards adopted by Ordinance 2022-56. This ordinance has been attached for your convenience along with the overall Pomp! Master Sign plan that established directional and monument signs for the overall Live! Pomp! Development.
This application includes Canopy Signs, Flat Wall Signs, Blade/Projecting Signs, Art & Amenities Signs Window Signs, a Roof Sign, and Gateway Signs, all of which are defined by and have standards provided in those modified sign standards of Ordinance 2022-58. Again, for reference, this Ordinance is provided within the backup.
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.
