MEMORANDUM # 96-278
Staff Report
Board of Zoning Appeals
Meeting: May 20, 1996
Petition: Case No. 218
Location: Shanes Motor Inn, 2607 South Federal Highway, Boynton
Beach, Florida.
Owner:
Steve Lovrekovic
Variance
Request:
Relief from City of Boynton Beach Land Development
Regulations, Chapter 21 - Zoning, Article 1111 Section
5 to install a 6 feet 8 inches by 5 feet freestanding,
double-faced sign with a sign setback from property
line of 1.5 feet (measured from the leading edge of the
sign - setback to the center of the sign pole is 4.75
feet) .
BACKGROUND
The subject property is located on the west side of South Federal
Highway, approximately 690 feet south of Golf Road (see Exhibit
"A" - Location Map), and is zoned C-31 Community Commercial. The
motel building was built as a conforming structure with
appropriate setbacks, however, when Federal Highway was widened,
the front yard setback was reduced to 8.9 feet, making this
building nonconforming. For the same reason, the setback of a
row of trees that is planted in the front yard, but north of the
referenced structure, was reduced to ten (10) feet - see Exhibit
"C" - Site Plan) .
There is a nonconforming pole sign located in the front yard of
the property that encroaches into the Federal Highway right-of-
way by approximately 2.7 feet (See Exhibit "B" - Survey) that the
property owner is intending to remove and replace with another
pole sign located entirely on his property (See Exhibit "C" -
Site Plan) .
The following is a description of the zoning districts and land
uses of the properties that surround the subject request:
North
Single family residence, zoned C-3 (Community
Commercial)
East
South Federal Highway right-of-way and
farther east is a condominium development,
zoned R-3 (Multi-family Residential)
South
Restaurant I zoned C-3 (Community Commercial)
West
Los Mangos residential development, zoned R-3
(Multi-family Residential) .
ANALYSIS
The petitionerls intent is to install a freestandingl double
faced sign having a pole center located at the distance of (4.75)
feet from the front property line. The sign size would be 6 feet
8 inches by 5 feet (see Exhibit "0" - Sign Proposal). Therefore I
the leading edge of the sign would be approximately 1.5 feet away
from the property line.
City's Land Development Regulations, Chapter 21 - Zoning, Article
III, Section 5 requires that:
Page 2
Memorandum No. 96-278
Steve Lovrekovic, Case No. 218
Staff Report - Board of Zoning Appeals
"All signs must meet a minimum ten (10) foot setback
measured from the property line to the closest surface of
the sign. Where a building is closer than ten (10) feet
from a property line, a freestanding sign can have its
leading edge one-half way between the property line and the
building" .
Since the building setback is 8.9 feet, the second part of the
above code provision applies. This condition would allow the
petitioner to place the leading edge of the new sign at the
distance of 4.45 feet from the east property line abutting
Federal Highway. However, the ten (10) foot distance between the
existing row of trees and the east property line would limit the
width of the sign to a maximum of five (5) feet. Visibility of
the sign from Federal Highway would be reduced by the projection
of this row of trees if the applicant complied with this
limitation. In order to avoid the reduction in visibility,
additional setback from the row of trees would be needed,
howeverl this would further limit the width of the sign.
Therefore, the property owner has decided to apply for the
variance to allow reduction in the distance between the leading
edge of the sign and the front property line from the 4.45 feet
allowed by code, to 1.5 feet. The applicant believes granting of
this variance would provide adequate sign visibility from Federal
Highway. Find attached, Exhibit "E", the Applicantls Request for
Variance and Exhibit "F" the Applicant's Reasons for Requesting
the Variance. The summary of facts is as follows:
1. The current sign is nonconforming in that it does not meet
the required setback andl in fact, encroaches into the
right-of-way of Federal Highway.
2. The motel building became nonconforming upon the widening of
Federal Highway and associated condemnation of a portion of
the front yard setback of the property.
3. Pursuant to the sign code criterion, the nonconforming front
setback of the property sets the required distance between
the leading edge of the proposed sign and the property line
as 4.45 feet.
4. The petitioner is requesting a zoning variance to erect a
pole for the proposed sign at a distance of 4.75 feet and
the leading edge of the sign at a distance of 1.5 feet from
the property line.
NOTE: As stated in Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 10.B.2.b:
"The board of zoning appeals may prescribe appropriate conditions
and safeguards in conformity with this chapter".
In the event the Board grants the variance, it is recommended
that the variance become null and void if either of the following
takes place:
a) the row of trees is removed or
b) the ourrentl nonconforming motel ~tructure is
demolished or demolished and replaced with a conforming
building.
