REQUEST: Community Development Department requests that the City Commission consider
a wall sign proposed for both the east (Tuskawilla Road) side and west (courtyard)
side of Building No.1 (immediately north of Barney's Coffee) within the JDC
Calhoun Town Center site.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Agenda Item is for the City Commission to consider wall
signs that have taller letters and in different locations than those depicted on the
approved Building No.1 architectural rendering.
CONSIDERATION: The Town Center Code states that "All signs shall be subject to a
Discretionary Aesthetic Appropriateness Review by the DRC in order that all
signs are consistent and in harmony with the Winter Springs Town Center."
Signage should be coordinated in size and placement with the building and
storefront. The sign consists of internally lit individual letters for the name "Gian
Carlo's," unlit individual letters for "RESTAURANT & PIZZERIA," and
comprises approximately 32.5 square feet (2.5' x 13'), and is much smaller than
the 1 0 percent of the applicable fayade area allowed by the Town Center Code.
The restaurant occupies the north 51 feet of Building No. 1 (65'- 2.5" wide). This
portion of Building One is approximately 28 feet to the top of the parapet.
Therefore, the applicable building fayade is 1,428 square feet (28' x 51' = 1,428
SF; 1,428 x 0.10 = 142.8 SF maximum wall signage allowed by Subsection 20-
327 (f) of the Code). It is approximately 15 percent smaller than the 38 square
foot wall sign approved for the nearby Tijuana Flats, which has a much smaller
lease area and fayade area.
The approved building elevation depicts the signage for this portion of the
building, on the portion of the window that is immediately above the marquee. In

contrast, the applicant proposes signage to be located higher on the fayade, below
the upper level windows. Staff believes the sign should be located below the
building expression line, instead of above it.
The proposed sign meets code requirements, but is taller and located in a
different area than what was depicted on the approved architectural
rendering. It should be located below the building expression line.
APPLICABLE CODE:
Section 20 - 327. Architectural guidelines.
ATTACHMENTS:

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Commission approve the proposed internally lit,
individual letter, approximately 32.5 square foot sign for both the front (east) and
rear (west) side of Building No.1, below the building expression line.
