PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to approve the proposed fourth modification to the development agreement to allow one (1) building mounted multi-tenant identification sign at the Villagio shopping center (a.k.a. S.R. 434 Retail). APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Chapter 166, Florida Statutes Development Agreement (DA) & Modifications Chapter 20, Section 20-470 (3) (c) & (t) CONSIDERATIONS: Villagio (a.k.a. SR 434 Retail) was approved as a shopping center with an Italian village theme within the C-l zoning district and the SR 434 New Development Overlay Zoning District. It is comprised of one primary 2- story building and 2 much smaller detached single-story outbuildings on the same site. The first floor of the primary building is retail with 6,000 SF of restaurant area at the northwest comer. A sign permit application for the proposed Wine By Design depicted 1 internally illuminated building-mounted multi-tenant identification sign for the north (SR 434 side). The application did not meet the City's code requirements because it is proposed at 23'-4", which is higher than the prescribed maximum 14' above the adjacent sidewalk grade (Subsection 20-470 (3) (c) in the SR 434 New Development Overlay Zoning District). The dimension of the sign is 3' instead of May 29, 2007 Regular Agenda Item 602 Page 2 of2 the 2' maximum set forth in Subsection 20-470 (3) (f) of the Staff agrees with the applicant that, given the height of the building fayade and the archway on the side of the building, the sign is proposed at the most aesthetic location for a building-mounted identification sign. The applicant's drawing depicts the 14' and 23'-4" dimensions on the face of the building and superimposes the proposed signage. Staff considered not only the dimensions of the building and its features, but also the distance from the building to the SR 434 ROW. In contrast, the Yen- Yen sign extended to a height of21 '-4" above the adjacent sidewalk. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Commission approve the proposed fourth modification to the existing Villagio development agreement to allow the proposed dimensions and proper placement of the proposed building-mounted multi-tenant identification sign.
