CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH
CITY COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Request from B & K Property Management and Development, Inc.
for a waiver from the sign regulations in conjunction with
redevelopment of a commercial property, generally located at 1487
Mayport Road
SUBMITTED BY: Sonya Doerr, AICP .p-L/
Community Development Director
DATE: May O1, 2003
BACKGROUND: The applicant has requested a waiver to the maximum height and size of
a freestanding sign proposed to be constructed on the east side of Mayport Road within the
1400 block. The proposed sign would serve the Mayport Square shopping center (the former
Fred's Saloon and adjacent properties), which is undergoing redevelopment to include various
retail and commercial uses.
Chapter 17-6 (a) (4) limits this project to one freestanding sign on the Mayport Road frontage
not exceeding eighty square feet in size and eight feet in height. (While the Mayport Square
project consists of several lots, it is defined by Section 17-2 as a single Development Parcel;
therefore, only one freestanding sign is permitted on the Mayport Road frontage.) It is the
Applicant's position that the maximum eight-foot height and eighty square feet limits do not
provide adequate signage for the number of businesses to be located within the project. The
requested sign contains 208 square feet at a height of 30-feet.
Section 17-15 of the sign regulations provides that an applicant may request from the City
Commission, a waiver of certain provisions of the sign regulations, and places the burden upon
the applicant to demonstrate the need for such waiver.
BUDGET: No budget issues.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recognizes that this project is of a substantial size, and that
adequate signage is needed for the individual businesses. The requested sign, however, would
seem to be in conflict with the intent of the Commission that signature signs identifying the
name of the shopping center, rather than each business within the center, become the standard
for commercial uses. The applicant must demonstrate that there are circumstances unique to
this project, which justify the need for the requested sign.
ATTACHMENTS: Application, sketch of proposed sign and property location map.
