Signs Draft Ordinance No. 2006-18 (amending Chapter 16 and Chapter 20 sign regulations) CONSIDERATIONS: The submittal requirements for aesthetic review are set forth in Section 9-605 and include the spaces; (c) illustrations of all walls, fences, and other accessory structures and the indication of height and their associated materials; (d) elevation of proposed exterior permanent signs or other constructed elements other than habitable space, if any; (e) illustrations of materials, texture, and colors to be used on all buildings, accessory structures, exterior signs; and (f) other architectural and engineering data as may be required. The procedures for review and approval are set forth in Section 9-603. The proposed signage was discussed with staff and approved by staff for referral to the City Commission for aesthetic review before the proposed Ordinance No. 2006-18 was presented to staff. The proposed signage is consistent with the current sign code (sections 16-78 and 16-86). Staff believes the proposal meets the requirements of the proposed ordinance. It has less than 32 SF of copy area and is more than 25' from an intersection, consistent with Section 16-78. Section 16-86 is proposed to be stricken.

The proposed signage appears to adequately address this criteria and fit appropriately with the building, signage, and other features. No landscaping is required by code around monument signage at this location. (2) The plans for the proposed project are in harmony with any future development which has been formally approved by the City within the surrounding area. The proposed sign age appears in harmony with existing and future development in the area. (3) The plans for the proposed project are not excessively similar or dissimilar to any other building, structure or sign which is either fully constructed, permitted but not fully constructed, or included on the same permit application, and facing upon the same or intersecting street within five hundred (500) feet of the proposed site, with respect to one or more of the following features of exterior design and appearance: (A) Front or side elevations, (B) Size and arrangement of elevation facing the street, including reverse arrangement, (C) Other significant features of design such as, but not limited to: materials, roofline, hardscape improvements, and height or design elements.

(4) The plans for the proposed project are in harmony with, or significantly enhance, the established character of other buildings, structures or signs in the surrounding area with respect to architectural specifications and design features deemed significant based upon commonly accepted architectural principles of the local community. This requirement appears to have been met. (5) The proposed project is consistent and compatible with the intent and purpose ofthis Article, the Comprehensive Plan for Winter Springs, design criteria adopted by the city (e.g. Towne Center guidelines, SR 434 design specifications) and other applicable federal state or local laws.
