Petition:
Case No. 240
File No:

Location:

Fidelity Federal Bank
Variance
Request:
Variance to Section 5 - Setbacks, Article III of Chapter 21 of the City's Land
Development Regulations is requested to allow a 5 foot variance from the
required setback of 10 feet for a monument sign.
BACKGROUND
The subject property, Fidelity Federal Bank, is located on the southwest corner of
Woolbright Road and Corporate Drive, see Exhibit "A" - Location Map. The property is
zoned C-1, Office and Professional Commercial District. The subject site contains a bank,
There is an existing sign on the property advertising the Fidelity Federal bank. The
location of this sign is along the northern frontage facing Woolbright Road, approximately
85 feet west of the western line of the Corporate Drive right-of-way, see Exhibit "B" -
Survey. The setback of the sign is 5 feet. The sign was constructed on the northern
embankment of a drainage swale. The swale extends from the western driveway to the
property to the decorative entry walls located at the northeast corner of the property, see
Exhibit "C" - Site Plan, The existing drainage swale does not allow the sign to be located
10 feet from the northern property line, as per the issued permit. The sign was adjusted in
the field without the city's approval in a non-conforming location with a setback of
approximately 5 feet. Subsequently, the property owner was cited by the City. Therefore,
the property owner filed a sign variance application was filed with the City, see Exhibit "D"
- Application.

Fidelity Federal - sign variance
Case No. 240 -staff report
The following is a description of the zoning districts and land uses of the properties that
surround the subject property:
North -
Right-of-way of Woolbright Road and farther north is a Racetrac gas
station in the Shoppes of Woolbright PCD,
East -
Right-of-way of Corporate Drive and farther east is undeveloped land,
zoned C-3.
West -
Palm Beach Leisureville residential development, zoned R-1AA and
undeveloped land zoned C-1.
South -
Boynton Commerce Park PID,
ANALYSIS
The City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 21 - Signs, Section 5,
Article III, sets out the following requirements for signs setbacks:
''All signs must meet a minimum ten (10) foot setback measured from the property
line to the closest surface of the sign. 11
Article II, Section 1.A of Chapter 21 states that the Board may grant sign variances to:
11 Allow a setback less than that required under the chapter, 11
The existing drainage swale, located just south of the monument sign prevents the sign to
be located with a required setback of 10 feet from the northern property line, Since the
swale extends along the entire frontage of Woolbright Road between the northern
driveway and the southern corner of the property, and contains landscaping and entry
walls, no alternative location for the sign conforming to setback requirements can be
found, These circumstances, according to the petitioner, present a hardship that is further
elaborated in Exhibit "E" - Statement of Special Conditions.
The code states that zoning code variances cannot be approved unless the board finds the
following:
a, That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land,
structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures
or buildings in the same zoning district.

Memorandum No. 97-502
Fidelity Federal - sign variance
Case No, 240 -staff report
b. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant.
c. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by this ordinance to other lands, buildings, or structures in the
same zoning district.
d. That literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant
of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the
terms of the ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the
applicant,
e. That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the
reasonable use of the land, building, or structure.
f That the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose
of this chapter [ordinance] and that such variance will not be injurious to the area
involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
Unlike other development applications, the code does not require staff to make a
recommendation regarding whether an applicant meets the above criteria warranting a
variance to the city's ordinance.
If the Planning and Development Board and City Commission will impose conditions of
approval, they will be included in Exhibit "F" - Conditions of Approvals.

STATEMENT OF SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. The existing double-faced monument sign, which is the subject
of the variance request, was installed wi thin the minimum 10-
foot street setback in order to avoid interfering with the
existing drainage swale that extends east-west along the roadway
buffer. Placing the monument sign outside the 10-foot setback
would have resulted in the sign being located deeper wi thin
the slope of the existing swale.
B. The monument sign was not installed to the design
specifications of the property owner. A decision in the field
was made by the sign contractor to locate the sign outside of
the existing drainage swale, thus causing an encroachment of
3 feet into the required 10-foot setback.
c. Approval of the requested variance will not confer on the
applicant any special privilege. The monument sign could be
physically relocated outside the 10-foot required setback, but
doing so would interfere with the existing drainage swale and
constitute a finacial hardship on the applicant.
D. The city zoning code permits the type and size of the
existing monument sign on the subject property. In addition,
commercial centers within the city commonly enjoy the same usage
of monument signs along their property lines. The 10-foot
setback requirement, if strictly enforced in this instance,
would result in an unnecessary and undue hardship on the
applicant by requiring the relocation of a sign that otherwise
conforms to standards established by the city zoning code.
E. The requested variance of 5 feet is the minimum variance
that wi 11 make possible the reasonable use of the structure.
F. Granting of the variance will not adversely affect the
general health, safety and welfare of the public nor be injurious
to the area. Furthermore, the requested variance is deemed
consistent with the general intent and purpose of the city I s
zoning code and is in harmony with the commercial character
of the area.
