Staff Report
Board of Zoning Appeals
Meeting:
October 21, 1996
Petition:
Case No. 224
File No:
BZAV 96-008 (sign size and height)
Location:
3300 South Seacrest Boulevard
Owner:
W. M. Cassell
Project
Name:
Saint Joseph's Episcopal Church and School
Variance
Request:
Relief from the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 21 - Signs, Article
IV, Section 1.B which limits freestanding signs to 32 square feet in area and
6 feet in height to allow a size of 106 square feet and a height of 14 feet 6
inches.
BACKGROUND
The subject property, St. Joseph's Episcopal Church and School, is located at 3300 South
Seacrest Boulevard (see enclosed Exhibit "A" - Location Map and Exhibit "B" - Survey).
The zoning designation of the property is R-1AAB (Single-family Residential). The existing
church and school facility is operating under a conditional use approval which is required
for this type of use in this zoning district. The most recent improvements (expansion of the
classroom building #5) were granted conditional use approval in September 1996.
The petitioner proposes to erect a 14 feet 6 inch high freestanding sign in the front yard of
the property (see Exhibit "E"). The size of the sign would be 106 square feet (See Exhibit
"C" - Sign). The sign would be located north of the main access driveway from Seacrest
Avenue (see Exhibit "0" - Site Plan). According to the petitioner's statements in Exhibit "F",
the purpose of this sign is:
. to emphasize the significance of this property in the neighborhood
. to make the sign compatible with the architectural features and improvements on
the property
The following is a description of the zoning districts and land uses of the properties that
surround the subject property:
North - single-family homes, zoned R-1AAB;
South - undeveloped land, zoned PUO (Hills at Lake Eden);
East - single family homes and farther northeast is the Seacrest Scrub
preservation area, zoned R-1AA; and
West - single family homes, zoned R-1AAB.

Case No. 224
Staff Report - Board of Zoning Appeals
ANAL YSIS
The City of Boynton Beach land Development Regulations, Chapter 21 - Signs, Article
IV, Section 1.B states that:
"On plots containing permitted nonresidential structures or uses, a flat or
freestanding sign, not exceeding thirty-two (32) square feet in area will be
permitted. A flat wall sign must not be higher than ten (10) feet, nor a
freestanding higher than (six) 6 feet... ".
Article II, Section 1.B of Chapter 21 states that the Board of Zoning Appeals may grant sign
variances to:
"Allow the area and/or height of a sign to be increased by up to twenty-five (25)
percent of the maximum allowable height or area. . ."
The proposed increase of the sign area is 74 feet which is 231 percent of the maximum
allowable area. Similarly, the proposed increase in the height of the sign is 8 feet 6 inches
which is 142 percent of the maximum allowable area.
The summary of facts is as follows:
1. The property is located in the R-1AAB, residential zoning district and is surrounded
by single family homes. This zone allows only single family homes, churches, city
owned and operated facilities and private golf course and recreational clubs as
permitted uses. Schools require conditional use approval to ensure compatibility
with the surrounding neighborhood.
2. If the Board finds that there is a height hardship, the maximum sign height the
Board can approve is_I.Steet (seven feet lower than requested).
3. maximum sign area the Board
er than requested).
4. The proposed sign has a setback of 15 feet. The code requires a minimum of ten
feet from the Seacrest Boulevard right-of-way line.
As a point of information, the sign requested is freestanding and not a wall sign even
though a wall. for which a height variance is also simultaneously requested, is to be
erected behind the sign. Since the maximum sign height the Board can approve by b-1
variance is 7.5 feet and since the wall height requested ranges from 7' 4" to 8' 8", which
is higher than the allowable sign height, it is advised that the Board consider the combined
visual impact of these two types of structures and their relation to one another, due to their
proximity.
