Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-18-05-049 — SIGN-O-SAURUS OF DAYTONA, INC.

Request: Variance in the C-1 zoning district to allow 204 sq. ft. of copy area in lieu of 145 sq. ft.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: Staff gave a presentation on the case covering the location, the site plan, building elevations, sign details and site photos. The applicant stated that the allowable signage was reduced due to a discrepancy between the assigned address and front door location. The BZA confirmed that if the Goldenrod Road side of the property was considered to be the front, then the variance would not be needed as 225 square feet of signage would be permitted. The applicant based the signage calculations on the Goldenrod Road address which was assigned by the post office. The BZA noted that the Curry Ford Road side is considered to be the front due to the location of the front door, which has a smaller frontage and thus reduces the allowable signage. The BZA felt that this constituted a hardship. Staff received 1 commentary in favor of the application, and 1 in opposition to the application. The BZA approved the variance.
