(“Subject Property”). The Applicant is proposing to amend the Land O’Lakes Master <br />Sign Plan approved in 2018 to include a third freestanding sign within the corporate campus. The <br />Applicant is seeking flexibility through the Site Plan Review process as a sign standard adjustment <br />to allow an additional freestanding sign along Lexington Avenue. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />1. Overview of Request <br /> <br />The Applicant has submitted a land use application for a Site Plan Review, seeking flexibility on <br />the number and size of freestanding monument signs allowed for the Subject Property. New <br />Horizon Academy is located within Buiding C on the Land O’Lakes corporate campus. The <br />campus consists of 47 acres that is developed with three buildings and two parking lots. The <br />Subject Property has road frontage along County Road F West and Lexington Avenue. As part <br />of the headquarter campus expansion in 2018, Land O’Lakes began partnering with New <br />Horizon Academy to provide onsite childcare to their employees. Since 2020, New Horizon <br />Academy has seen a decline in enrollment with many campus employees continuing to work <br />full-time from home. As a result, the two parties have agreed to allow for open enrollment of <br />childcare services to non-employees.
