BACKGROUND: The development order (D.O.) for the Indian River Mall project approved in July 1994 required the mall developer to obtain Board of County Commissioners approval of a sign package for the entire project (mall building, Indian River Commons shopping center, and outparcels). The sign package, at a minimum, is required to show the height, size, and type of free-standing signs to be utilized on the entire project site. Subsequent to the D.O., the county and the developer entered into a local developers agreement in June 1995 that re -iterated the D.O. sign approval requirements and specifically provided that the developer could apply for a sign regulations modification pursuant to normal allowances of sign ordinances section 956.16(3). Staff has worked with the developer over the last several months to come up with a sign package that allows signs large enough for the overall project but that are also generally in keeping with sign principles reflected in the Wabasso Corridor Plan. The proposed package provides all of the required height, size, and style details. The Board is now to review and approve the sign package. ANALYSIS: The sign package proposes monument -style signs at three SR 60 driveway locations, and at the project's 66th Avenue and 26th Street entrances. Taller, pylon signs are proposed at three SR 60 driveway locations. All signs have base and landscaping treatments, and all tie into a common color and style theme for all mall signs (external and internal) , including six small directional signs located at various points within the project parking area (see attachment #1). The sign package also covers all commercial outparcels and restricts signs for such outparcels to the Wabasso Corridor Plan monument style sign requirements. The package also reflects a modification allowed via the sign ordinance, whereby the project's total free-standing sign area is reduced by 10% in return for allowing an increased number of -signs on SR 60. Specifically, that increase accommodates the use of monument -style signs on each side of two SR 60 entrance driveways. The following free-standing signs are proposed: A. Four SR 60 driveway entrance monument -style signs, limited to a height of 7'-8" (see attachment #2). B. One SR 60 pylon sign with readerboard, limited to a height of 20' (see attachment #3) C. One SR 60 pylon sign, limited to a height of 20' (see attachment #4) D. Two secondary entrance, monument -style signs; one at the 66th Avenue driveway and one at the 26th Street driveway. These signs are limited to a height of 6'-10" each (see attachment #5) E. One Indian River Commons shopping center pylon sign, limited to a height of 20' (see attachment #6) F. Six parking lot directional signs limited to a height of 7'-5" each (see attachment #7) G. All outparcel signs are limited to a height of 10' and will be monument -style signs meeting the Wabasso Corridor Plan standards for signs. 23 April 23, 1996 Boa 97 PACE 877
