Summary:
The applicant is requesting approval for a revised Master Sign Program for the Plaza at Oceanside located at 1 North Ocean Boulevard. 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. The proposal is for wall signs on the building façade and free standing signs facing East Atlantic Boulevard and North Ocean Boulevard. Each wall sign will consist of channel letters attached to an architectural feature mounted to the arcade immediately in front of the tenant bay. The size of the letters is limited to 18” for a single line of text and 24” for a logo. All signs may include a bracket along the bottom with additional copy, but this text is included in the sign area allowed.
The Master Sign Program for this property was approved at the August 24, 2020 Architectural Appearance Committee meeting. The changes from that approved Master Sign Program include additional sign locations along East Atlantic Boulevard and revised language/text regarding the letter size of the wall signs.
The property is located north of East Atlantic Boulevard, between North Riverside Drive and North Ocean Boulevard (A1A).
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.
