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