Page 2 of 9 The Applicant is seeking flexibility to install an additional single-tenant freestanding sign along Lexington Avenue in order to advertise their childcare facility to the community. As part of this application, the existing monument sign along County Road F will be refaced to include the New Horizon Academy name and updated Land O’Lakes logo. No other changes are proposed to existing signage that was approved in 2018 as part of the Master Sign Plan. 2. Master Sign Plan Background In 2018, the City Council approved Planning Case #18-027—a Sign Standard Adjustment for a deviation from the sign code to increase the permitted size of the freestanding monument and auxiliary signs on the Subject Property. The Master Sign Plan includes four (4) auxiliary signs. Two (2) auxiliary signs are located internal to the corporate campus and two (2) are located at the far eastern and western access points adjacent to County Road F. The Applicant is not proposing any changes to the auxiliary signs as part of this application. Then there are two (2) approved monument signs that are located along abutting roadways (i.e. County Road F and Lexington Avenue). Under the Master Sign Plan, the Subject Property is allowed two freestanding monument signs each with a total sign area of up to 60 square feet and a sign copy area not to exceed 22.5 square feet. Flexibility was also granted to allow up to 25 square feet of auxiliary/directional signage on both monuments that is not to be deducted from the maximum sign copy area allowed. Additionally, all freestanding signs on the Subject Property are to be externally illuminated. For clarification between these two terms, “sign area” is defined as the area encompassing the sign face and sign structure, whereas “sign copy area” is defined as the area around the words or graphics on the sign. 3.
