SUBJECT: Liem Agencv..• The proposal of the attached Liere Agency signage located
in the UmversityPark Plaza at 1101 University Drive Last
(01-163)
The PRC held a meeting on Wednesday, August 1, 2001 to review the above-
mentioned project. Staff Planner Jimmerson stated that this building and attached
signage came before the Board in February. At that time, it wasn't known what tenants
would occupy the building and what kind of signage they would request.
There will be 2 signs on the south elevation and 1 on the west elevation. Staff
Planner Jimmerson made the recommendation that in the motion the Board makes it
clear that any other signage in this particular development of similar style, color or etc.
is approved at this time. Mr. Norsworthy said that he has worked with SSRS on their
sign codes and they have agreed to try to keep it Burgundy through out the project.
Commissioner Happ was concerned about other tenants who do not want this type of
signage. Staff Planner Jimmerson stated that if they want something different than the
approved signage they would have to come back to PRC for approval. Staff Planner
Jimmerson also recommended it be clear that the approval is under the current sign
ordinance and if the sign ordinance changes, maybe with the UDO, a new approval
will have to be met under that new ordinance. Mr. Norsworthy stated that the building
directly on the highway will only have 2 tenants and the University Park Plaza sign will
be in the middle. The other signs will not be as visible as the University Park Plaza sign
but will be listed on the University Park Sign. Commissioner Happ made a motion for
approval, with the staff recommendation. Commissioner Harris seconded and it passed
3-0.
Project Review Committee for the Overlay District
STAFF REPORT
Prepared by: Jessica Jimmerson
Date: 7-26-01
For
LIERE AGENCY (SNFC) (01-163)
All proposals involving site development in the Overlay District shall require review by
the Project Review Committee (PRC).
Zoning District: C-B, Commericial Business and O-V, Overlay District
Location: 1101 University Dr. East
Applicant: The Liere Agency
Item Summary: The applicant is requesting approval of the proposed attached
tenant signage.
Item Background: This building and some of the attached signage for building
identification purposes was reviewed and approved by the PRC in February of this year.
At that time it was not know what type of signage the tenants would request.
The current ordinance does not grant staff the authority to approve this type of signage
in the Overlay District. Staff does recommend approval of the proposed signage since
it meets the requirements of the ordinance. And to simplify this process, staff also
recommends that the PRC state in their motion that future tenant signs that are the
same color, same font style and basic layout are also approved. If a tenant would like
different signage they will just need to come before the PRC for approval.
