HomeMy WebLinkAbout2003 07 17 Regular Item B " BOA AGENDA ITEM [) July 18, 2003 Meeting REQUEST: The Community Development Department recommends the Board of Adjustment hear a request by Richard Gudenkauf for a variance from Section 20-486 (please see Ordinance No. 2000-17) of the City Code of Ordinances, to allow an existing non- conforming sign to remain within the SR 434 Redevelopment Overlay Zoning District. PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to consider a request by Richard Gudenkauf for a variance from Section 20-486 of the City Code of Ordinances to allow his existing non- conforming monument sign to remain in the front of his business at 155 West SR 434 beyond the November 14,2002, amortization deadline. Mr. Gudenkauf contends that there is no other place for his sign, which is in conflict with the 10 foot setback [from the property line] requirement. APPLICABLE CODE: Sec. 20-82. Duties and Powers; general. The Board of Adjustment shall make recommendations to the City Commission to grant any variance or special exception as delineated in this chapter. (1) The board of adjustment shall have the additional following specific powers and duties: a. b. c. . to recommend upon appeal such variance from the terms ofthis chapter as will not be contrary to the public interest where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions ofthis chapter will result in unnecessary and undue hardship. In order to recommend any variance from the terms of this chapter, the board of adjustment must and shall find: ~ July 18, 2003 Page 2 1. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure or building and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same zoning district; 2. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant; 3. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this chapter to other lands, buildings or structures in the same zoning district; 4. That literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of this chapter and would work unnecessary hardship on the applicant; 5. That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure; 6. That the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this chapter, will not be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. (2) In recommending the granting of any variance, the board of adjustment may recommend appropriate conditions and safeguards. Violations of such conditions and safeguards, when made part of the terms under which the variance is granted, shall be deemed a violation of the chapter.

Ordinance No. 2000-17 (please see attached) July 18, 2003 Page 4 CONSIDERATIONS: FINDINGS: On November 10, 1997, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 683, which, among other things, created the SR 434 Redevelopment Overlay.zoning District. It also set forth standards for signage and provided a 5-year maximum amortization period for signs that were not in compliance with the new standards. On June 12,2000, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 2000-17, which provided that any sign, other than a billboard, could be ' amortized and maintained until November 14, 2002. At or prior to November 14,2002, all nonconforming signs must be removed and may be replaced with signs that conform to the design standards set forth in the S.R. 434 Redevelopment regulations. All directly affected property owners were notified at or about the time Ordinance No. 2000-17 was adopted. As a reminder ofthe up-coming deadline, on July 26, 2002, former Community Development Director Charles Carrington sent each property owner with a sign in either of the SR 434 districts. The subject site hasC-l Zoning, a Commercial Future Land Use designation, and is located within the SR 434 Redevelopment Overlay Zoning District. Mr. Gudenkauf operates a business at the site. Staffhas suggested that the businesses at this site and the adjacent site to the east share a monument sign along the common boundary that divides their sites from one another - which would minimize the variance need and not compromise either vehicular circulation or public safety because it would require only a variance from the side setbacks. The applicant rejected this alternative. The existing sign is located within inches of the sidewalk that extends east and west along the south side of SR 434. This is inconsistent with the 10 foot setback [from the right-of-way] requirement set forth in Subsection 20-486 (1) (b) of the City Code of Ordinances. Along this portion of SR 434, the right-of- way appears to extend approximately 18 feet behind the face of the curb. l).The subject site, 155 W. SR 434, is located within the C-1 zoning district, the Commercial Future Land Use designation, and the SR 434 Redevelopment Overlay Zoning District. 2).The SR 434 RedevelopmentOverlay Zoning District sign standards have been in effect since November 10, 1997, with the adoption of Ordinance No. 683,. 3). On June 12,2000, Ordinance No. 2000-17 amended the amortization deadline set forth in Ordinance No. 683 and set forth a November 14, 2002, July 18, 2003 Page 5 deadline for existing non-conforming signs to be removed and replaced with signs that conform to Code. 4).On or about May 29,2003, the incomplete variance application (no abutters list) was received by the City. The applicant provided the name and address of one nearby proprietor on June 12,2003. 5).The Board of Adjustment is required by Code to find that the variance request meets all six variance criteria, set forth in Subsection 20-82 (1 ) (c), in order to recommend approval. 6). Staff does not find that the variance meets the six criteria for a variance: 1. there are no conditions or circumstances peculiar to the land, structure, or buildings which are not applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same SR 434 Redevelopment Overlay Zoning district; 2. special conditions and circumstances, if they exist, are the result of the applicant; 3. granting the variance requested would convey on the applicant special privileges that is denied by this chapter to other lands, buildings or structures in the same overlay zoning district; 4. a literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would not deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same overlay zoning district under the terms of this chapter and would not work an unnecessary hardship on the applicant; 5. the variance requested is not the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure; and ,6. granting the variance requested would not be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this chapter and would undermine the Code, which could be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. 7). A finanCial hardship does not constitute a hardship in terms of granting a vanance. 8). At its May 12,2003, meeting, the City Commission voted to allow affected property owners apply for a sign variance without paying the $500 variance fee. 9). The sign does not meet the 10 foot setback from the SR 434 right-of-way set forth in Subsection 20-486(1) (b) of the City Code of Ordinances. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommend that the BOA deny the variance request pursuant to the six variance criteria set forth in Subsection 20-82 (1) ( c) of the City Code of Ordinances.

To date, the business signage on your property is still in Violation of current code. After being approached by one of the business owners in your area, Staff spent some time determining what solutions could be derived that would meet the 10' setback along the property line at S.R. 434, without creating a vehicular hazard, and that would give ample visibility to the signage. It is our recommendation that the property could best be served by one multi-tenant sign, located in the landscaped median to the west of the current Appliance Store signage. It will be the responsibility of the numerous property and business owners to cooperate together to resolve this matter. Once a resolution has been reached, it will then be ' necessary to apply for a sign permit and bring the request before the Board of Adjustment. Sincerely, ~uk. Eloise M.
