STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Comfort Inn Sign
SUBMITTED BY: Sonya Doerr, AICP
Community Development Director
DATE: June 14, 2007
BACKGROUND: On November 13, 2006, the City Commission approved a Waiver from the City’s sign regulations to allow face panel replacement for the existing Comfort Inn sign located
at 2401 Mayport Road, which had been damaged by storms, subject to the following conditions:
This Sign Waiver is granted for a temporary time period, and shall expire July 01, 2007.
Prior to July 01, 2007, the applicant shall submit a report to the City Commission addressing how the existing sign will be brought into compliance with current sign regulations.
Pursuant to these conditions, the Applicant returns to the City Commission to request that the existing sign be permitted to remain for a period not to exceed four years at which time
the hotel will be converted to a Quality Inn, with a new sign that will comply with the current sign regulations. This 4-year time period would still bring this sign into compliance
sooner than the September 09, 2012 date when all nonconforming signs must be brought into compliance.
BUDGET: No budget issues.
RECOMMENDATION: Consider request to extend previously approved Sign Waiver for a period of time not to exceed four (4) years, which date shall be June 25, 2011.
ATTACHMENTS: Applicant’s letter of request, Staff Report and Minutes from November 13, 2006 City Commission meeting.
