Summary:
The applicant is requesting approval for a Master Sign Program. The proposal is for wall signs, and window signs. The Riverside Promenade project received approval from the AAC on October 22, 2015 to develop one new retail building (Building A) and two new two-story restaurants in the Intracoastal Waterway (Buildings B and C). The structures have frontages on one or more roadways, specifically along East Atlantic Boulevard, South Riverside Drive, Hibiscus Blvd, and the Intracoastal Waterway (waterfront). Each wall sign will consist of channel letters painted in the individual business corporate branded colors. The maximum letter height is limited to 24 inches pursuant to Section 156.08.A.2.b [Overlay Districts], and the total square footage is limited per the size of each bay, outlined in the Master Sign Program elevations. Building B includes two proposed sign locations, one on the east elevation and the second on the west elevation (Intracoastal Waterway frontage). Building C has three proposed sign locations, one on east, north and south elevations; however, for tenants in a stand-alone building, on the end of a row of tenants, or a tenant occupying a corner unit may be permitted a maximum of one sign on up to two building facades. When applying for the building permit for the sign, the applicant must choose two of the proposed sign locations for Building C.
The property is located on the south side of East Atlantic Boulevard, between the Intracoastal Waterway and Hibiscus Avenue.
Pursuant to ?155.2416, [Master Sign Program], all multi-tenant mixed-use or multi-tenant nonresidential developments which exceed 5,000 square feet and which are located along a designated arterial or collector road(s) as defined by the Broward County Trafficways Plan are required to obtain Master Sign Program approval. The Master Sign Program must be reviewed and approved by the Architectural Appearance Committee (AAC), prior to Zoning Compliance Permit approval.
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.
