Title

Appl. #PL2017-165 - SIGN APPLICATION - Pine Tree Plaza monument signs, 300 SW Blue Pkwy.; Acme Sign, Inc., applicant

 

Body

Issue/Request:

The applicant requests approval for two (2) monument signs that are taller than the maximum height allowed by the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO).  The applicant further requests approval for one of the monument signs to be larger than the maximum allowed by the UDO.  The maximum height allowed for a monument sign in the PMIX (Planned Mixed Use) district is 12 feet, and the maximum allowed size is 72 square feet for sign face area and 96 square feet for structure area.  However, the UDO grants the Planning Commission the authority to consider applications for signs that exceed the maximum allowed size standards.  Staff supports the requested increased heights and size.

 

Recommendation

Recommendation:  Staff recommends APPROVAL of the sign application to allow a 20-foot tall, 158 sq. ft. monument sign along SW Blue Pkwy. and a 13-foot tall monument sign along SW Jefferson St.
