EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This petition was reviewed by the City Council at its meeting of October 4,2007. The item
was continued, and the applicant was directed to meet with Councilman David Levy and
staff to discuss alternatives. The applicant has since revised the request and is now
proposing that the sign copy “Palm Beach Cancer Institute” be displayed on the top levels
of both the south and north elevations of the building as the principal structure signage. It
is also proposed that the sign copy “University of Miami” be displayed on the third level of
the south elevation as a principal tenant sign.
This request requires approval of waivers to allow the additional principal tenant sign on the
south elevation (“University of Miami”) and to allow the sign to be located above the second
floor line. A waiver will also be required for the principal structure sign (“Palm Beach
Cancer Institute”) to be displayed above the second floor line (on the top level) of the north
elevation.
After reviewing the petition at a meeting on June 26, 2007, the Planning, Zoning, and
Appeals Board voted 7-0 to recommend denial of any additional signs for the building. At
that time, the applicant was proposing the display of four different principal tenant signs on
four different elevations.
Staff has no objection to the relocation of the principal structure sign for Palm Beach
Cancer Institute on the top level of the north elevation, which faces the parking lot and
Kyoto Gardens Drive. However, staff does not support the display of the additional
University of Miami principal tenant sign on the south elevation.
BACKGROUND
On November 4,1993, the City Council adopted Resolution 134,1993, which approved the
Planned Unit Development (PUD) and allowed the site to be developed as a professional
medical office building originally known as the Good SamaritanEt. Mary’s Health Care
Pavilion. The site is located within the Regional Center Planned Community Development.
On March 16, 2995, the City Council adopted Resolution 16, 1995, which approved two
building identification signs with identical sign copy. One sign was approved for the third
level of the southeast elevation and one was also approved for the porte-cochere on the
northwest elevation.
On September 14,2004, the City Council adopted Resolution 172,2004, which approved
the relocation of the building identification sign to the top level of the southeast building
elevation. The sign copy was also changed to reflect the new building identification name,
“Palm Beach Gardens Medical Pavilion.” A condition of approval required the removal of
the existing sign on the third level of the south elevation prior to issuance of a building
permit for the new sign location on the top level. The sign on the north elevation was also
changed to match the new building identification name.

Section 78-285, Table 24, Permanent Signs, of the Land Development Regulations, allows
only one principal structure or principal tenant sign per parcel. This building has previous
approvals for two such signs. One sign is located on the top level of the south elevation
facing PGA Boulevard, and the other is currently located on the porte-cochere on the north
elevation. With this current request, the applicant is proposing that the copy of both signs
be changed to “Palm Beach Cancer Institute” and that the sign on the porte-cochere be
relocated to the top level of the north elevation. Both 24-inch high signs will have black
lettering that appears white at night. A waiver was previously granted to allow the sign on
the south elevation to be displayed on the top level of the south elevation facing PGA
Boulevard. A waiver was previously granted to allow the second principal structure sign on
the porte-cochere on the north elevation. With this application, the applicant is requesting
an additional waiver to allow this sign to be relocated to the top level of the north building
elevation building.
The request also includes one additional 18-inch tall principal tenant sign to be displayed
on the south building elevation with the copy “University of Miami.” This sign will also have
black lettering that appears white at night. The sign is proposed to be located two stories
below the “Palm Beach Cancer Institute” sign. The sign originally approved for the south
elevation was at this same location, but it was required to be removed prior to issuing a
building permit to display a sign on the top elevation.

Date Prepared: December 6,2007
Meeting Date: January 17,2008
Resolution 4,2008
Staff Analysis:
(1) Section 78-285 of the City’s Land Development Regulations (LDR) allows the
display of only one principal structure/principal tenant wall sign per building. The
intent of this provision is to allow signage with which to identify and locate a building.
Additional tenant signs are allowed only for ground floor users with individual
entrances for each tenant space or bay, such as those found at the Oaks Center on
Burns Road or in one-story retail shopping centers. To permit several tenants to
have signage when there are no individual entrances would constitute a form of
billboard-type advertising. There would also be confusion as to the proper
identification of the building, and no means of “way-finding” to the building would be
provided.
The Gardens Medical Pavilion already has two existing building identification signs
with the same copy on the north and south elevations. The current sign located on
the top level of the south elevation was approved by City Council on condition that
the existing sign located on the third level be removed prior to displaying the new
sign on the faqade at the top of the building. This is indicative of Council’s desire to
have not more than one building identification or principal tenant sign displayed at
the same time on the south elevation.
When adequately justified, staff has no objection to more than one building
identification sign, provided the signs are displayed on different elevations and have
the same name. However, it is staffs professional opinion that this request for two
different principal tenant signs on the same south elevation would not meet the
intent of the City’s LDR regarding building identification or principal tenant signage.
Section 78-221 , PGA Boulevard corridor overlay, Land Development Regulations,
states it is the City’s desire to create a special character and aesthetic quality for
this corridor and to also preserve and enhance its existing visual character. It is
staffs professional opinion that additional signage on existing buildings would be
detrimental to these goals. Staff does not support this request for additional tenant
signage on the south elevation of this building.
(2) The current building identification sign on the porte-cochere of the north elevation is
not readily visible from Kyoto Gardens Boulevard. It would benefit the public if the
sign were relocated to the top level so that it is more readily visible from the
northern parking lot, as well as the public roadway. Staff has no objection to this
waiver request.
PLANNING, ZONING, AND APPEALS BOARD COMMENTS
The Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board reviewed the subject petition at a public meeting
on June 26,2007. At that time, the applicant was requesting four different tenant signs on
four elevations. The Board voted 7-0 to recommend DENIAL to the City Council, with the
following comments:
4
Date Prepared: December 6,2007
Meeting Date: January 17,2008
Resolution 4, 2008
1. The applicant should choose only one name as the building identification sign, and
four different names on the building were too many.
2. The name “PBOI” could stand for any number of names, and it did not provide
proper building identification.
3. Only two building identification signs should be displayed in the locations originally
approved by the City Council (on the north and south elevations).
4. The Board expressed opposition to additional signage and contended that “less is
more.”
5. Allowing additional signage on office buildings is not the direction to go, and that
multiple signs on offices buildings are confusing as to the proper identification of the
building.
CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
The City Council discussed the petition at its meeting of October 4, 2007. The majority of
the members opposed additional signage on the building and commented that too many
signs would create a billboard effect. It was also pointed out that the sign code should be
amended if it is found to be too restrictive. However, waivers should not be allowed in
order to circumvent the current code. The Council postponed a decision and directed the
applicant to meet with Councilman David Levy and staff to discuss signage alternatives. A
meeting was held on November 1, 2007; and on November 14, 2007, the applicant
submitted a revised request as outlined in this report.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff has no objection to the relocation of a previously approved building identification sign
from the porte-cochere to the top level of the north building elevation. However, staff does
not support the display of an additional principal tenant sign on the south elevation.
Staff feels that this recommendation properly identifies the building and indexes the
surrounding environment while preserving and enhancing the quality and character of the
City’s appearance. There would be no conflicts between principal and tenant uses of the
building. Furthermore, it avoids visual clutter that may be potentially harmful to traffic,
pedestrians, and community appearance.

Re: MISC-07-04-28 Gardens Medical Pavilion Signage
Dear Ms. Holloman:
This correspondence is a follow up to the October 4'h, 2007 City Council meeting. During the meeting,
Councilmen Levy had some recommendations and the Council agreed to postpone the petition to
allow the applicant to meet with Councilmen David Levy and to submit a revised compromise.
The applicant met with Councilmen Levy on November Is', 2007 at the City. As a result of the meeting
the application proposes the following:
1. The applicant is proposing two (2) building identification signs. The building identification signs
are proposed on the south and north elevations facing PGA Boulevard and Kyoto Gardens
respectively. Both of these signs will read "Palm Beach Cancer Institute". The signs will be 24-
inches in letter height and will be located above the fourth floor.
2. The applicant is proposing to have one (1) principle tenant sign on the south elevation. The
sign will read "University of Miami". The sign will be smaller then the building identification
sign at 18-inches in letter height and will be located above the second floor.
The University of Miami is a highly regarded tenant. The University Of Miami Miller School Of Medicine
has opened and anticipated expanding their internal medicine practice in this location. On behalf of
the applicant, we believe it is in the public's interest to promote this world class institution.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please find enclosed with this correspondence 17 sets of
revised plans for distribution. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Donaldson Hearing, ALSA

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
-
Date Prepared: December 12,2007
Meeting Date: January 17,2008
Resolution 5,2008
This application was originally scheduled for the October 18,2007, City Council agenda but
was postponed at the request of the applicant. The applicant has revised the request and
is now proposing two 18-inch principal tenant signs on the north elevation and one 18-inch
principal structure sign on the east elevation of the PGA Financial Center Building. There
are two existing 36-inch high building identification signs with the copy “Chase” and a logo
on the north and south elevations.
This request requires approval of waivers to allow two additional principal tenant signs on
the north elevation and to allow the signs to be located above the second floor line.
Approval of a waiver will also be required to allow an additional principal structure sign on
the east elevation and for this sign to be located above the second floor line.
After reviewing the application at its meeting on July IO, 2007, the Planning, Zoning, and
Appeals Board voted 6 to 0 to recommend denial of any additional signage for this building.
At that time, the applicant was proposing four principal tenant signs, with two being on the
south elevation and two on the north elevation.
Staff recommends denial of the waiver requests to allow additional building signage.
BACKGROUND
On March 19, 1998, the City Council adopted Resolution 21, 1998, which approved the
development of a four-story, 76,112 square-foot office building known as the MacArthur
Center Office Building, located at the northeast corner of PGA Boulevard and Fairchild
Gardens Avenue within the Regional Center DRI. That approval included waivers
pertaining to the 62-foot building height, the front setback for the ground sign, and the
location of the two existing principal structure/principal tenant wall signs above the second
floor lines of the north and south elevations. The existing tenant monument sign at the
Mall Loop Road entry to the site allows building identification and provides advertising for
three tenants.
LAND USE AND ZONING
The subject site is within the Regional Center DRI and has a future land-use designation of
Professional Office (PO). The zoning district classification is Planned Community District
Overlay (PCD) with an underlying zoning of Professional Office (PO).
REQUEST
Section 78-285, Table 24, Permanent signs, allows only one principal structure or principal
tenant sign per parcel. This building has two existing 36-inch high signs on the north and
south elevations. These signs are white with blue trim and a blue Chase logo. With this
current request, the applicant is proposing two principal tenant signs on the north elevation
facing the mall and an additional principal structure identification sign on the east elevation.

Date Prepared: December 12,2007
Meeting Date: January 17,2008
Resolution 5,2008
The photographic renderings submitted by the applicant indicate all proposed signs will be
non-illuminated, 18 inches in height, and a dark bronze color.

Staff
Recommendation
(1) Denial
(2) Denial
Staff Analvsis:
(I) There are already two existing principal structure signs on the north and south
elevations, which serve to identify the building to passersby from the Mall Loop
Road and from PGA Boulevard. It is staffs goal to protect the integrity of the PGA
Boulevard corridor by being consistent with the requirements and intent of Section
78-221 of the City’s LDRs, which are to create a unique and special identityfor PGA
Boulevard Corridor. It is believed that an additional principal structure sign on the
east elevation of this building will be detrimental to the visual character of the
Corridor and is not necessary to identify the building. Staff recommends denial of
this waiver request.
(2) Section 78-285 of the City’s Land Development Regulations (LDR) allows the
display of only one principal structure/principal tenant wall sign per building. The
intent of this provision is to allow signage with which to identify and locate a building.
Additional tenant signs are allowed only for ground floor users with individual
entrances for each tenant space or bay, such as those found at the Oaks Center on
Burns Road or in one-story retail shopping centers. To permit several tenants to
have signage, when there are no individual entrances, would constitute a form of
billboard-type advertising. Also, this would be confusing as to the proper
identification of the building and would not provide a means of “way-finding’’ to the
building. Staff recommends denial of this waiver request.
PLANNING, ZONING, AND APPEALS BOARD COMMENTS:
The Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board reviewed the subject petition at a public meeting
on July 10,2007. At that time, the applicant was proposing four principal tenant signs, with
3
Date Prepared: December 12,2007
Meeting Date: January 17,2008
Resolution 5,2008
two being on the south elevation and two on the north elevation. The Board voted 6 to 0 to
recommend DENIAL of any additional building signage to the City Council. The Planning,
Zoning, and Appeals Board had the following comments:
1. Many buildings in the City have already been negatively impacted with too many
signs;
2. This is one of the most beautiful buildings on PGA Boulevard, and to add additional
signage would detract from the building’s appearance;
3. Commended staffs efforts to prevent too many signs on buildings; and
4. A request for a waiver is not an entitlement, and the Board has the right to look at
each request individually to determine whether it is appropriate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff does not support the display of additional principal structure or principal tenant signs
on any building elevations. Staff feels that additional wall signage visually clutters the
elevations and is a visual distraction. Additional tenant signage would cause confusion as
to the proper identification of the building and would not provide a clear means of “way-
finding” to the building. Furthermore, the existing tenant monument sign at the entrance to
the site provides a means of advertising for those tenants within the building; therefore,
additional wall signage on the building is not believed to be necessary.

Re: PGA Financial Plaza Building (Chase Bank) Signage Waiver
Petition M ISC-07-01-000022
Dear Ms. Holloman:
On behalf of the Lost Tree Village Corporation, please accept this correspondence as our
formal request to amend the previously submitted Miscellaneous Sign Petition. Following the
Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board public hearing we reevaluated the signage proposal. The
revised proposal reduces the number of proposed signs that will be permitted for the
building. As you are aware, the building currently contains identification signs on the north
(Mall Loop Road) and south elevations (PGA Boulevard). e
The applicant is requesting two principal tenant signs on the north elevation, facing the Mall
Loop Road. The applicant is also requesting one additional principal structure sign (building
identification sign) on the east elevation. The additional signage will aid in attracting and
sustaining high quality tenants in the Regional Center as well as in the PGA Corridor.
Please find enclosed with this correspondence seventeen sets of revised plans and a revised
justification statement for distribution. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate
to contact me. We thank you for your time and favorable consideration.

Justification of the above referenced waivers are outlined above in section entitled
“J u st ifi cat io n .”
Conclusion
The requests for additional signage and required waivers are consistent with the City’s Land
Development Regulations and the Comprehensive Plan of Palm Beach Gardens. The proposed
new signage will not create negative visual impacts on or off-site. The petitioner believes that
premier tenant occupancy is directly tied to the tenant’s ability to have clear identification of
their facilities to the general public. The petitioner shall work closely with Staff to ensure they
have all the necessary information and material to review and recommend approval of this
IC.
request.

DRAFT RESOLUTION FOR FLC
LEGISLATIVE PRIOlUTlES
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF , URGING

FOLLOWING ISSUES DURING THE 2008 LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
WHEREAS, as Florida’s population continues to increase, cities are challenged to
meet the service demands and infrastructure needs to account for new growth; and
WHEREAS, a majority of Florida’s municipalities are challenged to meet the
increasing infrastructure, affordable housing, transportation, and water quality needs of
their citizens; and
WHEREAS, the state has imposed greater accountability in comprehensive
planning and fiscal feasibility standards on municipalities; and
WHEREAS, Florida’s municipalities are dependent on other governmental
entities for financial stability and presently the state, counties, and school districts,
control every funding source that has been authorized for implementing growth
management capital improvements and complying with concurrency requirements; and
WHEREAS, municipal self-determination and local self-government are
constantly under attack from a variety of public and private interests; and
WHEREAS, the role and function of municipal government is constantly
evolving from new demands from its citizens and businesses.

processes;

state and local option revenue sources to meet financial feasibility requirements

occupations and establish new rate structures for local business taxes on a
periodic basis;

parks are rezoned, but not in a manner that requires removal costs to be the
responsibility of local governments;
Broadens municipal home rule and other authority to issue tax-increment financed
bonds and other forms of indebtedness without approval by referendum;
Provides an equitable, dedicated and recurring revenue source for municipal
transportation projects and opposes legislation that transfers or diverts state

delaying capacity improvement projects contained in the 5-year Work Plan when
it negatively impacts the comprehensive plan of the local government;
Authorizes the use of electronic traffic infraction detectors at traffic intersections;
