STAFF REPORT
DATE: November 12, 2014
TO: Planning Board Members
FROM: Dennis Mrozek, Principal Planner
PROJECT REQUEST
A request Robert A. Merrell III, Esq., Cobb Cole, on behalf of G&I VII Bellair Plaza, LLC, to
approve a resolution for a Comprehensive Sign Plan for Bellair Plaza.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The application is proposing a CSP that will apply to the Bellair Plaza property. The CSP
identifies all existing and proposed signs by general location as depicted on the Sign Location
Map of the CSP and the total allowable sign area for each sign type. The applicant has proposed
an amendment to the LDC that would permit the use and approval of CSP’s for retail centers
along the west side of Atlantic Avenue (A1A) with a minimum of 25 acres. The Bellair Plaza site
exceeds 25 acres.
PROJECT ANALYSIS:
The proposed CSP (Attachment A) for Bellair Plaza groups’ sign types by sign build and
purpose. The CSP provides for four types of signage.
1. Sign Type I: Identification Signs (ID Signs) – ID signs identify the site, venue or a
specific location of importance to visitors.
2. Sign Type II: Existing Tenant Ground Sign – Existing ground signs identifying tenants at
Bellair Plaza as identified on the Section 4.1 - Sign Location Plan.
3. Sign Type III: Directional and Information Signs – Direction and Information Signs aid
and regulate flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic and provide visitors with information
about the site, its destinations, amenities and sponsor recognition.
4. Sign Type IV: Graphic and Décor Signs – The purpose of Graphics + Décor is to create
and maintain an attractive visual appearance of the entire Bellair Plaza Property.
5. Sign Type V: Regulation Signs – Regulation Signs are Signs that are required by the
Florida Building Code (FBC) and the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other
governmental or public safety body. FBC and ADA shall control the development of
Regulation Signs.

Bellair Plaza.
Sign Type I: Identification Signs (ID Signs)
1. Primary ID Monument (one EMC permitted per side)

Maximum Sign Area:
332.7 sq. ft. per side Total
Located on A1A Main Center Entrance – Includes EMC
150 sq. ft. per side EMC
(48 sq. ft. proposed)
2. Secondary ID Monument

Located at Secondary Entrance to Bellair Plaza
Maximum Sign Area:
20 sq. ft. per side
Monument Signage
Bellair Plaza has approximately 1,700 feet of frontage along A1A. Based on this frontage, the
LDC permits two ground signs with up to 700 square feet of combined sign area per frontage, in
addition to four square feet per business as directory ground signage. Maximum height permitted
for shopping center ground signage is 50 feet. Proposed maximum height is 35 feet.
EMC Details
The applicant is requesting an Electronic Message Center (EMC) sign to be included in the
Bellair Plaza CSP. In March 2011, the City Commission approved Ordinance 11-74 permitting
EMC’s within specific zoning districts or uses. The applicant has submitted an application for
approval that would permit an EMC sign in retail centers exceeding 25 acres and located along
the west side of A1A as part of a CSP. Approval of that text amendment would permit the use of
an EMC at this location.
EMC’s are required to meet the design, construction, location, and operational standards detailed
in Art. 18, Sec. 6.20 (c) of the LDC, unless the variance to the standard is specifically approved
as part of a CSP. The proposed EMC sign detailed below exceeds the 8 foot maximum height
Bellair Plaza CSP
Page 3
permitted for an EMC sign. The proposed maximum height of the Bellair Plaza Entry sign with
an EMC is 35 feet. This exceeds the maximum height allowed by 27 feet.
Additionally, the applicant has proposed the EMC be permitted to display static graphics,
multiple background, foreground and text colors. The LDC currently restricts EMC’s to one
single background color and does not permit graphics. Final approval of the CSP by the City
Commission will be required to permit the variance requests.
Sign Type II: Existing Tenant Ground Signs
The Existing Tenant Ground Signs shall be permitted to remain in their current state and location
under this CSP. Bellair Plaza reserves the right to choose to update or leave the Existing Tenant
Ground Signs as is.
Sign Type III: Direction and Information Signs
Directional and Information Signs aid and regulate flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic and
provide visitors with information about the campus, its facilities and amenities. Sub-categories
include:
1. Vehicular Directional Sign
2. Pedestrian Maps and Directions.

Disabilities Act (ADA) and other governmental or public safety body. These signs help to
protect the health and safety of visitors and employees and address special needs persons with
disabilities. FBC and ADA shall control the development of Regulation Signs.

Minor Amendments

purpose of the CSP and is a request for a sign type which was not specifically contemplated by
the CSP. A Minor Amendment will be processed as follows:

 City staff reviews the sign request for compliance with the CSP and approves or denies the
sign request
 If the City staff does not approve a sign request or determines that the Sign for which a
permit is being requested is not specifically permitted by this CSP, Bellair Plaza shall have
the right to request a Minor Amendment to the CSP from the Planning Board
 If such request is denied by the Planning Board, Bellair Plaza shall have the option appealing
the decision to the City Commission which shall have the ability to overrule the Planning
Board.
Major Amendments
Any other sign request not allowed by the CSP or which proposes to increase the total allowable
sign area for the CSP by more than ten percent (10%) cumulative over a five year period shall be
considered a “Major Amendment” and shall require approval by the Planning Board and City
Commission.
RECOMMENDATION
The application request is tentatively scheduled to be reviewed at the January 21, 2015 (Public
Hearing) City Commission Meeting. Based on staff analysis and review, the request for
approval of the Comprehensive Signage Plan for Bellair Plaza will be in compliance with the
LDC and Comprehensive Plan, if approved by action of the City Commission.

recommendation of approval to the City Commission.
