REQUEST:
The Community Development Department presents a request by Tuskawilla
Office Park, LLC, for conceptual review of entrance features and signage for the
Tuskawilla Office Park..
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this item is for the City Commission, in its capacity as the Development
Review Committee (DRC) to consider a request of the Tuskawilla Office Park LLC for entrance
features with signs for the Tuskawilla Office Park, pursuant to the Town Center Code. This is
conceptual, only. The request is for the City Commission, as the DRC, to review and determine
what is aesthetically appropriate, consistent with, and in harmony with the Town Center, before
the applicant spends considerable funds and time to process a special exception.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY:
Subsection 16-86 (b). Identification Signs.
Subsection 20-237 (I) (1). Architectural Guidelines.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The Town Center Code allows free-standing monument signs by special exception only along the
SR 434 frontage. Staff interprets this to prohibit free standing monument signs throughout any
portion ofthe Town Center not abutting the SR 434 frontage. Identification signs are to be at

least 25 feet from an intersection. Any sign placement must not obstruct visibility at
intersections or driveway curb-cuts.
When similar renderings were reviewed by Dover Kohl and Partners, their response was that any
such sign should be incorporated into a decorative feature and should not be a stand-alone sign.
Dover Kohl and Partners did not, however, discount the possibility that a sign could be tastefully
incorporated into the existing wall that extends along the south side of the project, in that portion
of the wall that extends to the Tuskawilla Road right-of-way.
FINDINGS:
1. The entrance feature with signage constitutes a free-standing monument sign and is
therefore prohibited in the Town Center by Section 20-237 ofthe City Code.
2. On June 18,2002, the staffDRC considered the recommendation and voted to
recommend denial because free-standing monument signs within the Town Center are only
allowed along the SR 434 frontage - and then, only with a special exception. The site does not
front on SR 434, no special exception application has been received, and the $500 fee for a
special exception has not been paid.
3. Dover Kohl and Partners recommended that any signage (other than on the buildings) be
incorporated into some decorative feature.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Commission deny the request because free-standing monument signs
within the Town Center are allowed only along the SR 434 frontage - and then, only with a
special exception.
