Commission discussion and/or action re: First Reading of an Ordinance of the City of Sunrise, Florida, approving a Uniform Signage Plan for the Baptist Health South Florida, Inc. Sunrise Hospital; providing for conflict; providing for severability; and providing an effective date. City Manager Mark Lubelski. Shannon Ley, Director of Community Development.

This is an application for a Uniform Signage Plan for the Baptist Health South Florida, Inc. – Sunrise Hospital. Section 16-264 of the Land Development Code allows “uniform signage plans for certain developments and geographical areas in the City which, due to their nature, make it desirable to create a uniform signage plan governing special features, design characteristics, size, location and number of signs.”

Proposed signage in the Uniform Signage Plan includes a temporary fence wrap which will include images and other information regarding the coming development of the Baptist Health Sunrise Hospital. The fence wrap will attach to fencing along the project site's perimeter and include signage on the portion of fencing facing the public right-of-way of Oakland Park Boulevard and the Sawgrass Expressway. No signage is proposed on fencing that will face the conservation easement to the north or the residential community to the east. An amended Uniform Signage Plan will be presented at a future City Commission meeting for the remainder of the proposed signage for the project.

Staff finds this application meets all applicable Land Development Code requirements for approval of the Uniform Signage Plan. Therefore, staff recommends approval of this application.
