Summary:
The applicant requests approval of a Master Sign Program for signage in an existing commercial development. The Master Sign Program aims to establish a legal foundation for any future signs. The site has an existing Tenant Wall sign.
The property is located at the northeast corner of NE 18 Avenue and East Sample Road.
Proposed tenant wall signs will be individually manufactured, internally illuminated channel lettering, 4 1/2” deep, flush-mounted onto the designated tenant facade area. All tenant panels will be made from impact-resistant white plexiglass. Tenants with a nationally trademarked, regional-marketing, letter/logo/font style may use their chosen color theme for their tenant faces, subject to landlord approval, for logo, logo color, letter style, and letter style color. Tenant wall signs must be centered in the sign band area as indicated on elevation drawings, subject to landlord approval. All tenant wall signs will be limited to 1 line of copy signage. The designated (default) font is Bell MT.
Pursuant to §155.2416, [Master Sign Program], all multi-tenant mixed-use or multi-tenant nonresidential developments that exceed 5,000 square feet and 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.
