Applicant RE/MAX Advance Realty
Property Owner Luis Jepeway, Jr.
Location: 7220 Red Road (Crossroads Building)
Request: Placement of signage on Marquee and Wall
Action: Mr. Soto-Lopez advised that the applicant was requesting approval for the installation of
a marquee and wall sign on a designated historic site at 7220 Red Road (Crossroads Building).
The applicant is proposing to place a new business sign on the marquee facing Red Road and to
place a wall sign on a marble wall adjacent to the storefront. One marquee sign is permitted but
may not exceed ten (10) square feet in area per ten (10) linear feet of street frontage. Direct
illumination is permitted. Marquee signs may replace permitted flat signs on a building face
where affixed. The proposed sign will contain the name of the new business (Re/Max Advance
Realty) occupying a storefront at the first floor of the building on the Red Road side of the
building. The sign area is 15sq. ft. which does not exceed the maximum permitted size of a sign a
marquee sign at this location (20 sq.ft.).
The sign will have direct electrical illumination using channel lettering. It is very important that
marquee signage on this building appear consistent as to type, location and size and color. The
proposed business sip matches the current sip pattern, height of lettering, and color. It will be
consistent with the other signs currently on the marquee therefore staff recommended approval.
Mr. Soto-Lopez advised that the second proposal was for a wall sign on the marble wall between
the applicant's storefront and the abutting business. The sign is not permitted based upon LDC
Section 20-4.3 (1) (5) as set forth above, which states that a marquee sign "...shall replace
permitted flat signs on that building face where affixed. There are other storefronts with wall
signs directly above the entrances to the business; however, the proposed location on a decorative
projecting marble wall is not appropriate. Mr. Ricardo Soto-Lopez advised that staff was
recommending disapproval for the second wall sign.
Mr. Hochstim questioned if the previous tenant set precedence by being allowed to have a wall
sign and a marquee sign. Mr. Soto-Lopez stated that one marquee sign was permitted by the
LDC and that he did not have sufficient information to answer the question.
Ms. Shelley requested that the applicant explain the mounting technique of the wall sign. Ms.
Hartog, applicant, replied that it will be affixed with industrial glue.
Mr. Kurtzman questioned if the applicant would be permitted to have a window sign as well. Mr.
Soto-Lopez replied that according to the LDC a marquee sign is permitted. Mr. Kurtzman
reworded his question and stated that he was asking if the marquee sign and a window signage
were both permitted. Mr. Hochstim then questioned if precedence was set for the sign to be
affixed on the marble stone. Mr. Hochstim farther added that the marquee sign is more visible to
vehicles, but pedestrians would need additional signage in order to allow visibility to the
business. Mi. Hochstim stated that the sign is very attractive and it is not huge in size therefore he
felt that the sign is appropriate.
Mr. Ruiz de Castilla stated that although the wall sign is not permitted as per the LDC, however,
precedence was set by the previous tenant. In the past the Board has approved former tenants
such as the bank for the installation of the wall sign on the marble stone and therefore sees no
problem with approving the request.
Mr. Kurtzman questioned if the installation of the marquee sign were going to be individual
letters and whether or not the marquee sign will have the same letter style as those currently on
the building. The applicant replied with an affirmative response.
Mr. Ruiz de Castilla stated that he was satisfied with the discussion and due to the fact that there
is precedence he will support the request for the wall sign. Mr. LaMonica questioned if the color
on the marquee sign be the same as the color on the wall sign. The applicant replied that both the
sign and logo will be exactly the same design and color.
Motion: Mr. Kurtzman moved to approve the marquee sign as presented by staff. Mr. Ruiz de
Castilla seconded.
Vote: 8 Ayes 0 Nays
Motion: Mr. Hochstim moved to approve the wall sign as presented, by the applicant. Mr. Ruiz de
Castilla seconded. Mr. Kurtzman stated that although precedence is set he believes the marble
must stay without the sign.
Vote: 6 Ayes 2 Nays (Mr. Kurtzman and Ms. Shelley)
