Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-19-01-174 — VISIT ORLANDO

Request: Variance in the C-1 zoning district to allow a cumulative total of 160 sq. ft. of wall signage in lieu of 80 sq. ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: Staff explained the site and showed photos of the proposed wall sign. The site faces both International Dr. and I-4 on either side. The applicant has an existing sign facing International Dr. and would like to construct an identical sign facing I-4. The applicant explained they are the official tourism organization for Orange County and need an identifiable sign for the tourists exiting I-4 to be able to easily find their location. No one spoke in favor or in opposition of the request at the hearing. The BZA discussed the case and what the applicant is allowed per code. They stated the location is hard to locate due to the adjacent parking garage. The BZA approved the request as the sign fits in with the building façade and area.
