Sec/Twp/Rge: 02/29S/15E Dear Ms. Hopkins, JUN 0 9 2005 On behalf of my client, Amscot Financial Inc., I would like to request a permit exemption for the above referenced project. This site was previously developed with a restaurant but has been vacant for many years. I have contacted your records department and have not been able to locate any previous permits for this site. The scope of this project involves renovation of the existing structure, concrete & asphalt parking. areas. The site is currently approximately 93% impervious. The new use will be an Amscot money store. The new site plan adherer's to the City of Clear water's landscape code and has been approved. The overall green space has been increased by 6.8% Stormwater currently sheet flows across the parking areas discharging at both driveways to the curb & gutter system in the Highland Avenue right of way. With the new site development stormwater runoff will be decreased and existing drainage patterns will remain the same. I have enclosed two sets of our proposed develop me? plans, copies of the survey and aerial photographs to assist you in your review.

As presented in the general application criteria, this use is separated in 2 fashions from the typical problematic use concerns. First, Amscot is not entirely a check cashing business, which is the specific activity designated as a problematic use. Amscot provides other uses that dilute its single category of activity that falls under a Problematic Use. The other uses that Amscot provides is tax computation and filing services, foreign currency exchange and a multitude of other banking services. Please consider the overview of these uses under the general application criteria. Second, Amscot does not meet the formal definition of a problematic use. The code defines a problematic use as, "...typically characterized by poorly maintained facilities, loitering and other indices of neighborhood deterioration or urban blight". Amscot sites, and in general, as the industry has greatly matured in the last 5 years, has raised itself far from this category. In fact, the existing Amscot location in the City, on Gulf-to-Bay, is a true proven location to debunk the definition of a Problematic Use as it is defined for these sites. Amscot makes a major investment at their sites, and improved the existing location with substantial dollars and management. Further, this site has an existing commercial restaurant, up and running, and this is just a change out of business. In this case, the site will be improved with greater buffering to the residential than what is existing and the site will be beautified with landscaping and other improvements. This will include an improvement of the driveway and drive aisles too. There is another problematic use located across the street. These two stores are located between a major street, Highland Avenue, and the other location is located far off the road tucked into a shopping center. 2) In this regard, the site is already built and we are considering the installation of a new business O into the existing building. This will include upgrades and will include a quieter and more professional business operation and better buffering to the rear. But, the activities of this user, in the course of its business, in that it operates like other commercial or professional businesses, will JUN 09 2305 f`"' PRESSWN & AINC.

This would be a drive thru fast food restaurant. In this case, the use is completely inside, with signage directed in the proper fashion, -and managed in great care, and really represents a more professional or bank like environment. There are several Amscots in the City and they are all operated in good fashion, as prior police reports and code enforcement reports have shown in prior problematic use applications by this company. The store to be occupied also faces away from the residential use. 3) This use is allowed in the City of Clearwater, with this application and noted with the prior activity of the user documented as very good. 4) This use is certainly compatible to adjacent businesses and uses along Highland. In that its operations are similar to a bank it fits into a commercial or office setting as an abutting use quietly and without high impacts. In regard to the residential, there will be a fence and some landscaping. This is a use that is less impacting than other commercial uses that could go on the site right now. 5) As the City gets built out, and these uses become more and more popular, and desired to be accessed by the public, it becomes harder and harder to find locations that do not trip the Problematic standards. Many sites were considered in the City. It is important to this business, and the industry as a whole, as the City of Clearwater directs that these uses improve their look, design, operation and standards. To do so, they must seek out innovative sites, and newly built sites. 6) As mentioned, the site proposed to be used for this operation is to be improved and will be an asset in regard to sound and intensity. The site meets all codes as best as possible to today's standards. In this regard, it is an upgrade to the vicinity. 7) The design of the building, again, will be beautifully completed. Amscot seeks to operate the site similar to a banking operation on a high scale professional and managed basis, like other stores throughout the region. In this regard, both the visual and functional aspects of the site will be a plus for the immediate vicinity and a clear asset for the community in the area. 0 G7 JUN 0 9 2005 2 PRESSMekN, & ASSqC.., INC.

PRESSINCQAOLCOM Amscot Problematic Use Submittal Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Criteria/Highland Ave. General Criteria This project seeks to use the exact same building and occupy the structure that is existing for it's operations at this site. There will be investment and improvement for the site, as compared to what is at the site now. Additionally, the current use is a drive thru restaurant and this will be a significant "step-down" in impacts that have been existing on the parcel. 1) The site `s footprint will remain. relatively the same.' It is a smaller site and the building footprint will remain as is, although substantial improvement will be made to the building to improve it from it's current condition. There are quite a number of areas on the site that will have added landscaping. So, the use that is present now, a highly intense fast food business is far more intense on many factors, as to what is proposed today. Amscot resembles more of a professional banking use that a commercial business. So, the elements of intensity... size, bulk, scale, etc. are less than what is present at the site now and it am improvement. 2) The site is to be improved and made better. The run down nature of the site will be eliminated. The site will appear more professional in nature. This will encourage the development and spur improvement in neighboring lots. 3) This use, again, is less intensive and quieter than what is there now and will be a benefit to the surrounding neighbors. There is nothing that is proposed at this site that could possibly effect anyone's health or safety. 4) The site is not a very busy operation, as compared to a drive thru restaurant use that is currently at the site, and it will have reduced traffic effects. 5) The facility planned will be a benefit to the community and will improve the location of the business that is currently operating at the site. CD 6) This will be the biggest improvement to the neighbors. There will be buffering and landscaping improvements at? the site, especially to the rear. Most of the business activity is focused to the front of the store. There are no smelrf -- associated with the site and it will be quieter than what is at the site currently.

This is true whether the Amscot is moving in, or any other commercial use is moving in. The only difference is that Amscot is triggering a Problematic Use review. So, the same shortfall of land development issues are present ...it is only because Amscot is moving in that these issues have a venue with the City. The critical factor here is "impractical" direction of the criterion. It is impractical that a far lesser impacting use not be allowed on the site, where much more disruptive, trip generating, noise-producing uses could literally walk on the site tomorrow. Amscot has earned an outstanding reputation in the community for their management, the appearance of their sites and the way their business is run. The consultant for the site has handled Amscot uses in two different areas in the City successfully. In both cases the actual use of the Amscot was well accepted. Staff members commented that the Amscot use itself, as presented to the public, were not major issues. The major issues in the past at these two sites were site development based. The City has accepted the user with open arms in the past, they have provided an extremely responsible operating history in the City, they have made investment and improved locations they are in and they are a leader in their industry. 4) The land uses to the North, South and East are commercial and more impacting and imposing than the Amscot use. These are commercial properties. The land to the West is Residential. The plan proposes a fence and there are existing trees that will help buffer the lands to the West (the old fence will be fixed or replaced). The Amscot site also is above and higher than the residential homes to the West, which will help to further buffer those homes. Primarily, though, these homes 0 have had the impact of a drive thru restaurant at this site. The Amscot is far less impacting and imposing to those homes. This includes substantially less trips, cars, noise, waste removal, smells JUN 0 9 2un6q5 ASSOC.,-INC.

The Amscot site is also being drastically improved as compared to the site now. With these factors in mind, this use certainly meets this standard. The simple fact of the matter is that a general office use is far less active than a drive thru restaurant or commercial activity. 5) This is absolutely the case. The elevations and landscape plans clearly show the substantial improvement of the site, and in turn, the vicinity. This is specifically true in the respect that the use will be far less impacting and better to live next door to than a hard hitting drive thru restaurant. These factors clearly direct an improvement to the site and an upgrade to the immediate vicinity. The site now is barren and in disrepair. The site will be beautified, improved and much more aesthetic. It will be a drastic improvement. 6) Again, the elevations and landscape plans call into detail the investment and improvements for the site. This again includes the reduction of hard hitting impacts to the neighbors. Basically now, the site is barren and has no landscaping. This will be dramatically improved. The form and function will bring the site much closer to the full standards required under the code versus another commercial site moving in and not meeting or providing any of these improvements. 7) This is a critical criterion. On an existing site that is smaller, with recognized higher intensity zoning in place, it is a justification to allow a site that is a much, much better neighbor for the residents and also proposing to improve the aesthetics of the site. There must be flexibility in the placement of a business that is well recognized for its operation in the City and the combination of issues that are arising here. s. 70 PRESSMIkN & ASSOC.., INC.

It is not removed (see the criterion that is referred to by staff). Further, the applicant strenuously disagrees with staff in that clearly a drive thru restaurant with a drive thru window is far more impacting than a professional office use. A single criterion of calls to Code Enforcement or the police brings insight into infractions of the City code or the law, not the day to day allowable activity of a restaurant in your back yard. Citizens are not going to call the police regarding customers at late hours legally and allowably ordering thru a loud speaker box that faces their homes, or entering and exiting a permissible restaurant. 4) The landscaping proposed and the site plans have been improved to show additional landscape areas that take the site above the City's required codes. This level of landscaping is far, far above what is existing at the site now, which is basically bare. 5 & 6) "Hard hitting drive thru" refers to the prior and existing use of a high volume, non-buffered and closely located high turn over drive thru restaurant. This type of use is evaluated at the higher end of commercial impacts in regard to traffic, noise, smell and activity. In this case, an existing drive thru restaurant is permissible to re-occupy this site by right. Additionally, the drive thru window is oriented toward the residential uses abutting the site. 7) Again, the applicant firmly disagrees with the staff. The site now is barren of landscaping, it is old, not terribly kept up with and in disrepair. The proposed site plans and the included elevations show the site to be attractive with substantial investment made and brought up to a great standard, Further, the applicant is a great corporate citizen in the City and has a great track record at improving and making investment in real estate in the City and the region. They have proven to be a good corporate citizen in the City. It is the applicant's understanding, at the time of this writing, that the parking space issues have been resolved. DRC Page 12, comments and directions, #6, Signs: Please accept this statement that the existing signs are to be removed. Our review of the Flex 0 JV1d 0 0 2005 package did find a notation that indicated that differently ("Sunset Point and Highland Improvements for Amscot Financial"). The definite intent of the applicant is to provide a brand new sign package as indicated in the comprehensive submittal. If another notation in the Flex package indicates differently, that would be incorrect and we would ask your deference to this statement. Thank you. #3) It is the opinion of the site's planners and site designers that the proposed sign package is an augment, improvement and is in cohesion with the proposed Spanish or Mediterranean-influenced architecture. This is apparently a difference of opinion with the staff.

Sec/Twp/Rge: 02/29S/ 15E Dear Ms. Hopkins, On behalf of my client, Amscot Financial Inc., I would like to request a permit exemption for the above referenced project. This site was previously developed with a restaurant but has been vacant for many years. I have contacted your records department and have not been able to locate any previous permits for this site. The scope of this project involves renovation of the existing structure, concrete & asphalt parking areas. The site is currently approximately 93% impervious. The new use will be an Amscot money store. The new site plan adherer's to the City of Clearwater's landscape code and has been approved. The overall green space has been increased by 6.8% Stormwater currently sheet flows across the parking areas discharging at both driveways to the curb & gutter system in the Highland Avenue right of way. With the new site development stormwater runoff will be decreased and existing drainage patterns will remain the same. I have enclosed two sets of our proposed development plans, copies of the survey and aerial photographs to assist you in your review. If you have any questions or require additional information please do not hesitate to contact me at (727) 458-7769. Ivi ' e rely, n Scherer O ?

There will -be investment and improvement for the site, as compared to what is at the site now. Additionally, the current use is a drive thru restaurant and this will be a significant "step-down" in impacts that have been existing on the parcel. 1) The site will remain essentially the same. This will be the same building and site, with improvements. So, the use that is present now, a highly intense fast food business is far more intense on many factors, as to what is proposed today. Amscot resembles more of a professional banking use that a commercial business. So, the elements of intensity... size, bulk, scale, etc. are less than what is present at the site now and it am improvement. 2) The site is to be improved and made better. The run down nature of the site will be eliminated. The site will appear more professional in nature. This will encourage the development and spur improvement in neighboring lots. 3) This use, again, is less intensive and quieter than what is there now and will be a benefit to the surrounding neighbors. There is nothing that is proposed at this site that could possibly effect anyone's health or safety. 4) The site is not a very busy operation, as compared to a drive thru restaurant use that is currently at the site, and it will have reduced traffic effects. 5) The facility planned will be a benefit to the community and will improve the location of the business that is currently operating at the site. 6) This will be the biggest improvement to the neighbors. There will be buffering and landscaping improvements at the site, especially to the rear. Most of the business activity is focused to the front of the store. There are no smells associated with the site and it will be quieter than what is at the site currently.

As presented in the general application criteria, this use is separated in 2 fashions from the typical problematic use concerns. First, Amscot is not entirely a check cashing business, which is the specific activity designated as a problematic use. Amscot provides other uses that dilute its single category of activity that falls under a Problematic Use. The other uses that Amscot provides is tax computation and filing services, foreign currency exchange and a multitude of other banking services. Please consider the overview of these uses under the general application criteria. Second, Amscot does not meet the formal definition of a problematic use. The code defines a problematic use as, "...typically characterized by poorly maintained facilities, loitering and other indices of neighborhood deterioration or urban blight". Amscot sites, and in general, as the industry has greatly matured in the last 5 years, has raised itself far from this category. In fact, the existing Amscot location in the City, on Gulf-to-Bay, is a true proven location to debunk the definition of a Problematic Use as it is defined for these sites. Amscot makes a major investment at their sites, and improved the existing location with substantial dollars and management. Further, this is an existing commercial site, up and running, and this is just a change out of business. In this case, the site will be improved with greater buffering to the residential than what is existing and the site will be beautified with landscaping and other improvements. This will include an improvement of the driveway and drive aisles too. There is another problematic use located across the street. These two stores are located between a major street, Highland Avenue, and the other location is located far off the road tucked into a shopping center. 2) In this regard, the site is already built and we are considering the installation of a new business onto the site. This will include upgrades and will include a quieter and more professional business operation and better buffering to the rear. But, the activities of this user, in the course of it's business, in that it operates like any other commercial business, will have_no,furthernegaty ;than ?D FFB 18 2005 PLANNING DEPARTMENT CITY OF CLEAIMATER PRESSMAN & ASSOC., INC.

Sec/Twp/Rge: 02/29S/15E Dear Ms. Hopkins, On behalf of my client, Amscot Financial Inc., I would like to request a permit exemption for the above referenced project. This site was previously developed with a restaurant but has been vacant for many years. I have contacted your records department and have not been able to locate any previous permits for this site. The scope of this project involves renovation of the existing structure, concrete & asphalt parking areas. The site is currently approximately 93% impervious. The new use will be an Amscot money store. The new site plan adherer's to the City of Clearwater's landscape code and has been approved. The overall green space has been increased by 6.8% Stormwater currently sheet flows across the parking areas discharging at both driveways to the curb & gutter system in the Highland Avenue right of way. With the new site development stormwater runoff will be decreased and existing drainage patterns will remain the same. I have enclosed two sets of our proposed development plans, copies of the survey and aerial photographs to assist you in your review. If you have any questions or require additional information please do not hesitate to contact me at (727) 458-7769.

There is almost zero landscaping att he site currently, even against the residential neighbors to the rear.

There will be investment and improvement for the site, as compared to what is at the site now. Additionally, the current use is a drive thru restaurant and this will be a significant "step-down" in impacts that have been existing on the parcel. 1) The site will remain essentially the same. This will be the same building and site, with improvements. So, the use that is present now, a highly intense fast food business is far more intense on many factors, as to what is proposed today. Amscot resembles more of a professional banking use that a commercial business. So, the elements of intensity... size, bulk, scale, etc. are less than what is present at the site now and it am improvement. 2) The site is to be improved and made better. The run down nature of the site will be eliminated. The site will appear more professional in nature. This will encourage the development and spur improvement in neighboring lots. 3) This use, again, is less intensive and quieter than what is there now and will be a benefit to the surrounding neighbors. There is nothing that is proposed at this site that could possibly effect anyone's health or safety. 4) The site is not a very busy operation, as compared to a drive thru restaurant use that is currently at the site, and it will have reduced traffic effects. 5) The facility planned will be a benefit to the community and will improve the location of the business that is currently operating at the site. 6) This will be the biggest improvement to the neighbors. There will be buffering and landscaping improvements at the site, especially to the rear. Most of the business activity is focused to the front of the store. There are no smells associated with the site and it will be quieter than what is at the site currently. RECHVED 0c,PLANNJAN 3 1 2005 ING DEPARTMENT CITY OF CLEARWgTER PRESSNftN & ASSOC., INC..

As presented in the general application criteria, this use is separated in 2 fashions from the typical problematic use concerns. First, Amscot is not entirely a check cashing business, which is the specific activity designated as a problematic use. Amscot provides other uses that dilute its single category of activity that falls under a Problematic Use. The other uses that Amscot provides is tax computation and filing services, foreign currency exchange and a multitude of other banking services. Please consider the overview of these uses under the general application criteria. Second, Amscot does not meet the formal definition of a problematic use. The code defines a problematic use as, "...typically characterized by poorly maintained facilities, loitering and other indices of neighborhood deterioration or urban blight". Amscot sites, and in general, as the industry has greatly matured in the last 5 years, has raised itself far from this category. In fact, the existing Amscot location in the City, on Gulf-to-Bay, is a true proven location to debunk the definition of a Problematic Use as it is defined for these sites. Amscot makes a major investment at their sites, and improved the existing location with substantial dollars and management. Further, this is an existing commercial site, up and running, and this is just a change out of business. In this case, the site will be improved with greater buffering to the residential than what is existing and the site will be beautified with landscaping and other improvements. This will include an improvement of the driveway and drive aisles too. There is another problematic use located across the street. These two stores are located between a major street, Highland Avenue, and the other location is located far off the road tucked into a shopping center. 2) In this regard, the site is already built and we are considering the installation of a new business onto the site. This will include upgrades and will include a quieter and more professional business operation and better buffering to the rear. But, the activities of this user, in the course of it's business, in that it operates like any other commercial business, will have no further negative than DECENED JAN 31 2005 PLANNING DEPARTMENT CITY Z)f CLEA^'"1(17:Q PRESSNWN & ASSOC., INC..

In this case, the use is completely inside, with signage directed in the proper fashion, and managed in great care, and really represents amore professional or bank like environment.. There are several Amscots in the City and they are all operated in good fashion, as prior police reports and code enforcement reports have shown in prior problematic use applications. The store to be occupied also faces away from the residential use. 3) This use is allowed in the City of Clearwater, with this application and noted with the prior activity of the user documented as very good. 4) This use is certainly compatible to adjacent businesses. In that its operations are similar to a bank it fits into a commercial or office setting as an abutting use quietly and without high impacts. In regard to the residential, there is a barrier wall and some landscaping. Restricted hours are proposed. This is a use that is less impacting than other commercial uses that could go on the site right now. The uses are well separated with physical barriers between them,. and oriented in a way that eliminates or greatlu reduces any impacts. 5) As the City gets built out, and these uses become more and more popular, and desired to be accessed by the public, it becomes harder and harder to find locations that do not trip the Problematic standards. Many sites were considered in the City. It is important to this business, and the industry as a whole, as the City of Clearwater directs that these uses improve their look, design, operation and standards. To do so, they must seek out innovative sites, and newly built sites. 6) As mentioned, the site proposed to be used for this operation is to be improved and will be an improvement in regard to sound and intensity. The site meets all codes as best as possible to today's standards. In this regard, it is an upgrade to the vicinity. 7) The design of this site, again, is beautifully completed. Amscot seeks to operate the site similar to a banking operation on a high scale professional and managed basis, like other stores throughout the region. In this regard, both the visual and functional aspects of the site will be a plus for the immediate vicinity and a clear asset for the community in the area. U V& Ek"; E ?

Owner: Mexico Grande, Inc. Applicant: Amscot Financial Agent: Todd Pressman Address: 1874 North Highland Avenue CITY OF CLEARWATER PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT GENERAL INFORMATION: REQUEST: Reconsideration of the attached sign approved through the Comprehensive Sign Program application contained within the Flexible Development Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project application that approved a problematic use for Amscot Financial in this location. EXISTING ZONING / Commercial (C) District LAND USE: Commercial General (CG) Category PROPERTY USE: Current Use: Vacant Proposed Use: Problematic Use (Amscot) ADJACENT ZONING / North: Commercial (C) District - Vacant gas station LAND USE: South: Commercial (C) District - Retail sales and service East: Commercial (C) District - Retail sales and service West: Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District - Detached dwellings CHARACTER OF THE The surrounding area is characterized by retail sales and service, vacant IMMEDIATE VICINITY: buildings, a problematic use, and residential uses. UPDATE: At its meeting of July 19, 2005, the Community Development Board (CDB) approved the establishment of a problematic use (Amscot) at the subject property as a Flexible Development Comprehensive Infill Project. In addition, the Board approved a Comprehensive Landscape Program and Comprehensive Sign Program that were associated with the development proposal. These approvals were subject to conditions, among which was the condition that the freestanding sign base is modified and approved by staff prior to the issuance of any permits so that the sign base does not exceed 50 percent of the permitted area of the sign face. At the Boards subsequent meeting of August 16, 2005, the City requested that the Board reconsider its action on the attached sign approved through the Comprehensive Sign Program. The Board discussed the merits and circumstances surrounding the request and elected to hear the reconsideration at its meeting of September 20, 2005. It is noted that at the meeting of August 16, 2005, the applicant introduced a revised rendering of the awning/signage, which "cuts-out" the sign copy from the awning. The applicant has requested that the Board consider this revision to their Comprehensive Sign Program application. Staff Report - Community Development Board - September 20, 2005 Case FLD2005-01004 - 1 of 5 0 ANALYSIS: Site Location and Existing Conditions: The 0.39-acre subject property, which is located on the west side of North Highland Avenue approximately 250 feet south of Sunset Point Road, has a zoning designation of Commercial (C) District with an underlying Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) category of Commercial General (CG). The subject property consists of a 1,976 square foot, single-story building which was constructed in 1977 and was utilized until recently as a restaurant. Proposal: The item before the Board is the reconsideration of the attached sign approved through the Comprehensive Sign Program which consists of the removal of the existing freestanding sign on the subject property, the installation of a 120 square foot freestanding sign and the installation of a 37.7 square foot attached sign for Amscot. It is noted that the square footage denoted on the applicant's revision (39.7) does not correlate to the dimensions provided. Comprehensive Sign Program [Section 3-10871: The City recognizes that in many circumstances there are innovative and creative alternatives to minimum standard signage that are desirable and attractive and will enhance community character and individual property values. The purpose of the Comprehensive Sign Program is to provide an alternative to minimum standard signage subject to flexibility criteria, which ensure that alternative signage will not have an adverse impact on the aesthetics, community character and quality of life in the City of Clearwater. Freestanding _Sign: As proposed in the application, the freestanding sign measures 4 feet by 12 feet (48 square feet) with a sign structure measuring 6.5 feet by 11 feet (71.5 square feet). The sign structure, as it exceeds 50 percent of the permitted area of the sign face, is considered to be part of the sign and therefore the freestanding sign is deemed to have a size of 120 square feet [ref. Section 8-102]. It is noted that the applicant has previously agreed to reduce the width of the base so as not to exceed the above 50 percent threshold, and the Board did attach a condition of approval to this effect at its meeting of July 19, 2005. It is further noted that the submitted revision has not modified the freestanding sign as previously agreed by the applicant and approved by the Board. As such, should the Board desire to approve the Comprehensive Sign Program, it is recommended that this condition be reattached to the approval. Attached Sign: Pursuant to Section 3-1807.C.4.i, the maximum area permitted for attached signage shall range from one percent up to a maximum of six percent of the building fagade to which the sign is to be attached. The subject building fagade measures 696.66 square feet (18.33 feet by 38 feet); thus the acceptable range of an attached sign, based upon the above, is 6.96 square feet to 41.79 square feet. Based upon the revision submitted by the applicant, the proposed attached sign is 37.7 square feet (7.71 feet by 4.88 feet), which constitutes 5.41 percent of the building facade. It is noted that while the revision depicts a modification to the proposed awning to provide the "cut-out" feature and provides for a wall-mounted sign, no information has been provided that would indicate how far the proposed attached sign projects from the wall. Additionally, no information was provided that would indicate the sign materials or whether the attached sign will be illuminated or not. Based upon the previous submittal where the entire awning (including signage) was illuminated, it is presumed that the proposed attached sign will be either internally or externally illuminated and that the awning will continue to be illuminated. It is also presumed that in order to provide maximum visibility of the attached signage, the proposed sign will project 2 feet from the building so as to be flush with the awning. Further, the awning and, the attached sign have been designed in such a fashion that they are clearly intended to operate seamlessly with one another and act as one. Therefore, the proposal will Staff Report - Community Development Board - September 20, 2005 Case FLD2005-01004 - 2 of 5 result in an awning that, while technically separate from the attached sign, will effectively operate as a part of the attached sign and give the appearance of a 324 square foot sign constituting 46.5 percent of the building fagade, which far exceeds the maximum area permitted for attached signage. Comprehensive Sign Program Flexibility Criteria [Section 3-18071: These criteria shall apply to all applications for the Comprehensive Sign Program: Architectural Theme. a. The signs proposed in a Comprehensive Sign Program shall be designed as a part of the architectural theme of the principal buildings proposed or developed on the parcel proposed for development and shall be constructed of materials and colors which reflect an integrated architectural vocabulary for the parcel proposed for development; or b. The design, character, location and/or materials of all freestanding and attached signs proposed in a Comprehensive Sign Program shall be demonstrably more attractive than signs otherwise permitted on the parcel proposed for development under the minimum sign standards. All signs must be architecturally integrated into/with the design of the building and/or site using similar and coordinated design features, materials and colors, etc. The design of the proposed signage is not consistent with the architectural theme of the principal building utilizing coordinated design features, materials and colors. Instead the signage has been designed to be consistent and compatible with the accessory awning with regard to its appearance and color. Further, the colors proposed are reflective of the corporate colors for Amscot and not the design of the building. The applicant has not provided any evidence that the proposed signage is demonstrably more attractive than signage that would otherwise be permitted under minimum sign standards. Based upon the above, the proposal is found to be inconsistent with the above criterion. 2. The height of all freestanding signs proposed through the Comprehensive Sign Program shall relate to the design of the sign and shall not exceed 14 feet in height, except in the Downtown (D) and Tourist (T) Districts where the height shall not exceed six feet in height. It is noted that the reconsideration presently before the Board does not include the freestanding sign; therefore this criterion is not applicable to the request. 3. Lighting. Any lighting proposed as a part of a Comprehensive Sign Program is automatically controlled so that the lighting is turned off at midnight or when the business is closed, whichever is later. As previously noted, the revised plans do not indicate how lighting is being dealt with in this proposal. However, as the previous submittal provided for the illumination of the entire signage area, it is anticipated that the proposed attached signage and the surrounding awning will continue to be illuminated. As per the above criterion, no indication has been made as to the automatic control of the lighting and therefore the development proposal is found to be inconsistent with the above criterion. 4. Height, Area, Number and Location of Signs. The height, area, number and location of signs permitted through the Comprehensive Sign Program shall be determined by the Community Development Coordinator based on the following criteria: overall size of site, relationship between the building setback and sign location, frontage, access and visibility to the site, intended traffic circulation pattern, hierarchy of signage, scale and use of the project, consistency with Beach by Design, Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan or any other applicable special area plan and submittal of a master sign plan for the development parcel/project. Additionally, the maximum Staff Report - Community Development Board - September 20, 2005 Case FLD2005-01004 - 3 of 5 • • permitted sign area shall be based on the following formula when evaluated against the above criteria: i. Attached Suns - The maximum area permitted for attached signage shall range from one percent up to a maximum of six percent of the building facade to which the sign is to be attached. ii. Freestanding Sims - The maximum permitted area of all freestanding signs on a site shall not exceed the range of sign area permitted by the street frontage or building facade calculation methods setforth in Sections 1806B. 1. c. i. and ii. As discussed previously, the proposed attached sign is approximately 37.7 square feet, which constitutes approximately 5.41 percent of the building facade. However, it is presumed that the proposed sign will project 2 feet from the building so as to be flush with the awning and that both the sign and the awning will be illuminated. As such, the proposal will result in an awning that, while technically separate from the attached sign, will effectively operate as a part of the sign and give the appearance of a 324 square foot attached sign constituting 46.5 percent of the building fagade, which far exceeds the maximum area permitted for attached signage. In essence, it would appear that the proposed attached sign tries to accomplish the same effect as the original sign. The design of the awning, specifically the arched yellow banding, happens to align perfectly with the yellow bar on the proposed sign. Effectively accomplishing by design what could not be accomplished in concept. 5. Community Character. The signage proposed in a Comprehensive Sign Program shall not have an adverse impact on the community character of the City of Clearwater. It is not anticipated that the signage proposed will have an adverse impact on the community character of the City. Based upon the above, the proposal is found to be consistent with the above criterion. 6 Property Values. The signage proposed in a Comprehensive Sign Program will not have an adverse impact on the value of property in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. It is not anticipated that the signage proposed will have an adverse impact on the value of property in the immediate vicinity. Based upon the above, the proposal is found to be consistent with the above criterion. 7. Elimination of Unattractive Signage. The signage proposed in a Comprehensive Sign Program will result in the elimination of existing unattractive signage or will result in an improvement to the appearance of the parcel proposed for development in comparison to signs otherwise permitted under the minimum sign standards. The subject property presently consists of a freestanding sign in the shape of a cactus. This unattractive signage will be eliminated with this development proposal. It is noted, however, that while the existing unattractive signage will be eliminated, the signage proposed to take its place does not necessarily result in an improvement to the appearance of the parcel. Further, the colors proposed are reflective of the corporate colors for Amscot and not the design of the building. Based upon the above, the proposal is found to be inconsistent with the above criterion. 8. Special Area or Scenic Corridor Plan. The signage proposed in a Comprehensive Sign Program is consistent with any special area or scenic corridor plan that the City of Clearwater has prepared and adopted for the area in which the parcel proposed for development is located. The subject property is not located within an area associated with an adopted special area or scenic corridor plan; therefore compliance with the above criterion is not applicable. Staff Report - Community Development Board - September 20, 2005 Case FLD2005-01004 - 4 of 5 0 • Of the eight flexibility criteria, the proposed Comprehensive Sign Program is inconsistent with four of the criteria, consistent with two, and the final two criteria are not applicable to the proposal. Based upon the above, positive findings can not be made with regard to Section 3-1807 to permit a 37.7 square foot attached sign through the Comprehensive Sign Program. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Department recommends DENIAL of the Comprehensive Sign Program to permit a 37.7 square foot attached sign for Amscot Financial under the provisions of Section 3-1807, based upon the following findings of fact and conclusions of law: Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law: 1. That the 0.39 acre subject property is within the Commercial (C) District and the Commercial General (CG) Future Land Use Plan category; 2. That the development proposal does not comply with the Flexibility criteria for the Comprehensive Sign Program as per Section 3-1807.C. Prepared by Planning Department Staff. a V Robert G.

Amscot Financial Todd Pressman 1874 North Highland Avenue CITY OF CLEARWATER PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT GENERAL INFORMATION: REQUEST: Reconsideration requested by the City of Clearwater of the Flexible Development application (FLD2005-01004) approved at the July 19, 2005 Community Development Board meeting for the purpose of attaching conditions of approval and for the Comprehensive Sign Program application contained within FLD2005-01004. EXISTING ZONING/ LAND USE: Commercial (C) District Commercial General (CG) Future Land Use Plan Classification PROPERTY USE: Current Use: Vacant (previous use was a restaurant) Proposed Use: Problematic Use (Amscot) ADJACENT ZONING/ LAND USE: North: Commercial District - vacant gas station South: Commercial District - retail sales and service East: Commercial District - retail sales and service West: Low Medium Density Residential District - detached dwelling CHARACTER OF THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY: The surrounding area is characterized by retail sales and services, vacant buildings, a problematic use and residential uses ANAT.VCTC- At its July 19, 2005 meeting, the Community Development Board approved FLD2005-01004 to permit a problematic use. The Planning Department believes the Board made a mistake in its decision to approve the case without conditions. The City requests that the Board reconsider this case for the purpose of attaching conditions at the September 20, 2005 meeting. Request for Reconsideration of FLD2005-01004 - Community Development Board - August 16, 2005 Page 1 of 2 The Board also approved a Comprehensive Sign Program application contained within FLD2005- 01004 at the July 19, 2005 meeting. The Planning Department is requesting that the Board reconsider approval of this application based on mistakes of fact and law. Several mistakes of fact occurred with regard to the request for attached signage. The Planning Department staff report did not indicate that the attached sign (located on the awning) was illuminated. Based on the definition of sign area in Code Section 8-102, the illuminated portion of a sign structure shall be considered part of the sign area. In this case, the awning is the sign structure; therefore, the report should have indicated that the proposed attached sign is 324 square feet in area instead of 30 square feet. This factual mistake is a basis for reconsideration of the application. Additionally, it appears that a copying mistake occurred in that certain packets provided to the Board and Board staff (Assistant City Attorney and Board Attorney) did not contain a complete Comprehensive Sign Program application. Furthermore, such application did not clearly indicate that the attached sign was illuminated. The sign was not described as an illuminated sign in the narrative or on the elevations. The illumination could only be determined based upon a review of the electrical plan submitted by Thomas Signs. The Planning Department believes that a mistake of law occurred when the Board approved the attached sign. Code Section 3-1807.B.4.i specifies that through a Comprehensive Sign Program the maximum area permitted for attached signage shall range from one percent up to a maximum of six percent of the building fagade to which the sign is to be attached. The sign approved by the Board (324 square feet) equals 46.5% of the building fagade (696.66 square feet) and exceeds the amount of signage allowed by the Code. This mistake of law is also a basis for reconsideration. Reconsideration or rehearing of cases is regulated under Section 4-206.H of the Community Development Code. That section states that after a final decision, reconsideration or rehearing may be granted only upon a determination by the Community Development Board or the Hearing Officer, as the case may be, that the decision was based upon mistake, fraud or misrepresentation. The decision to reconsider/rehear a case must be made at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Community Development Board or within ten days of a Hearing Officer's decision. If reconsideration or rehearing is granted, notice shall be provided in the same manner as the original proceeding.

EXISTING ZONING/ LAND USE: Commercial (C) District Commercial General (CG) Future Land Use Plan Classification PROPERTY USE: Current Use: Vacant (previous use was a restaurant). Proposed Use: Problematic Use (Amscot). ADJACENT ZONING/ LAND USE: North: Commercial District - vacant gas station South: Commercial District - retail sales and service East: Commercial District - retail sales and service West: Low Medium Density Residential District - detached dwelling Staff Report - Community Development Board - July 19, 2005 - Case FLD2005-01004 - Page 1 9 0 ANALYSIS: Site Location and Existing Conditions: The 0.39-acre site is on the west side of North Highland Avenue approximately 250 feet south of Sunset Point Road. The existing one-story, 1,976 square foot building was built in 1977 and was used until approximately February 7, 2005 as a restaurant. The site has two driveways providing access to North Highland Avenue. An ingress-only driveway is located at the north side of the site and an egress-only driveway is located at the south side of the site. Existing parking does not meet the dimensional (with regard to length, width and drive aisle) or setback requirements of the Code. Proposal: Amscot Financial is a privately held company with an estimated 65-retail locations currently open or in the process of opening in the Tampa Bay area. The major components and percentages of the retail operations performed, according to the applicant, are 35 percent in the sale of money orders, 46 percent check cashing, four percent tax preparation and IRS electronic filing, 14 percent cashing of deferred presentment checks, and one percent money transmittal. In addition, Amscot Financial's website lists check cashing and payday advance as their first two services offered. The proposed hours of operation for the Amscot are: Monday through Saturday, 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. The number of employees ranges from two to three. Because Amscot performs the service of check cashing, the City of Clearwater recognizes the use as "problematic" as defined in Section 8 of the Community Development Code. The Code permits the use of any structure regardless of its conformity with the Code for any use permitted within the zoning district in which the use is proposed to be located under the provisions of Section 6-102. Problematic uses are permitted within the Commercial District as part of a Level Two Flexible Development application under the provisions of Section 2-704.L.1 through 6 with the following criteria: 1. Location. a. The parcel proposed for development is not contiguous to a parcel of land which is designated as residential in the Zoning Atlas; b. The use is not located within 500 feet of another problematic use; 2. Design. a. The building in which the use is located is painted or otherwise finished in materials and colors which are muted; b. There are no security bars on the outside of doors or windows which are visible from a public right-of-way; 3. Signs. Any signage which has a height of greater than six feet is a part of a comprehensive sign program; 4. The building in which the use is located is a building which is conforming to all current land development and building regulations. 5. Front setback: The reduction in front setback results in an improved site plan or improved design and appearance. Staff Report - Community Development Board - July 19, 2005 - Case FLD2005-01004 - Page 2 • 0 6. Rear setback: a. The reduction in rear setback does not prevent access to the rear of any building by emergency vehicles. b. The reduction in rear setback results in an improved site plan, more efficient parking, or improved design and appearance and landscaped areas are in excess of the minimum required. The subject site is located adjacent to property designated as Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) in the zoning atlas and is within 500 feet of another problematic use (pawnshop) contrary to the requirements of Section 2-704L. La and b. The building is proposed to have large awnings on all facades painted bright blue and yellow and is not consistent with Section 2- 704.2.a.. The existing signage is proposed to remain but will be changed to reflect the proposed Amscot business. A Comprehensive Sign Program has been submitted which does not meet the requirements of the Code. The existing nonconforming front, rear and side setbacks are proposed to remain as they are with little site improvement. Therefore, the proposal does not meet criteria La and b, 2.a, 3, 4 and 5.a as outlined above. Because this proposal does not meet the requirements for a Problematic Use it is not permitted within the Commercial District. Because the use is not permitted in the Commercial District, Section 6-102 requires that all structures on the site meet the requirements of the Code. The existing parking lot is located within the front (east), side (north and south) and rear (west) setbacks. Based upon those two facts, the use (problematic use) and the existing parking lot must be collectively reviewed as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. It is the intent of the Code, based upon the criteria for problematic uses, that such uses be located in purely commercial areas and are developed and operated in such a manner so as to not detrimentally affect adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood as a whole. The subject site is a transitional property acting as a buffer between a moderately developed commercial corridor (North Highland Avenue) to the east and a single-family residential neighborhood to the west. Proposed changes to the site include the elimination of sub-standard parking along the rear (west) side of the building and additional landscaping (primarily on the east side of the site). The building exterior will include new windows and doors, bright blue and yellow awnings on all facades and the removal of an architectural detail on the front (east) fagade of the building. The proposal also includes the addition of an attached sign 30 square feet in area where one attached sign 20 square feet in area is permitted. An existing free-standing sign located between the two driveways will be removed with this proposal and is to be replaced with a 48 square foot sign that is 11 feet in height set back six feet from the front (east) property line where one freestanding sign six feet in height and 20 square feet in area is permitted (as part of a Problematic Use). Both of these signs will require approval by Community Development Board (CDB) as a Comprehensive Sign Program as part of this overall Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project application. Staff Report - Community Development Board - July 19, 2005 - Case FLD2005-01004 - Page 3 f • In December of 2000, Amscot Financial was approved to operate at 1825 Gulf to Bay Boulevard (Case FL 00-10-47). This provides some information about how the applicant has performed elsewhere in the City of Clearwater. Prior to opening, Amscot Financial made fagade renovations to the existing building along with basic maintenance such as painting, landscaping, and having the parking lot resurfaced and striped. Amscot Financial has been operational at this location since October 11, 2001, and over this three and a half-year span of business, Amscot has had two code violations, both of which were for signage (extra window signage including advertising "check cashing" which was specifically restricted by the CDB). Both citations were rectified in a timely manner. The Planning Department requested a Call Activity Report from the Police Department for the Amscot business located at 1825 Gulf to Bay Boulevard. The report was from January 1, 1999 to June 3, 2003. Since the opening date to June 3, 2003 (day the report was printed), there have been a total of 41 calls for service placed to the Police Department. This averages to be once every two weeks that an officer was called to respond to the business. In order to determine if the calls of service were excessive in relation to the nature of the business, a Call Activity Report for two separate banks at 1680 and 1640 Gulf to Bay Boulevard. The results revealed a similar number of police response calls within the same time frame. The site is within the Commercial district which permits a myriad of uses including retail sales and service, office and restaurant. The applicant has not articulated how the development or redevelopment of the parcel proposed for development is otherwise impractical without deviations from the use, intensity and development standards. The applicant has asserted that the previous restaurant use has had a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood. According to City records, there have been three Code violations since 1992 including the requirement for a replacement tree, a fence in disrepair and a boat trailer for sale. The Planning Department requested a Call Activity Report from the Police Department for the subject site for the timeframe of January 1, 2004 to January 1, 2005. In that time period there was a total of one call for service placed to the Police Department. This was compared to a problematic use (pawn shop) located to the east across North Highland Avenue at 1869 North Highland Avenue. During the same time period there were six calls for service placed to the Police Department. The proposal does not meet the following Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project criteria: 1. The development or redevelopment of the parcel proposed for development is otherwise economically impractical without deviations from the intensity and development standards. The property is located within the Commercial District in which a wide variety of uses are permitted including office, restaurant, retail sales and service, indoor recreation, overnight accommodations, etc. All of these uses are permitted as part of a Minimum Development given the site's existing configurations including lot area and width. The site was developed and operated as a restaurant complete with parking and a drive-through component. The applicant has not clearly articulated why the site is not developable without the requested deviations. Staff Report - Community Development Board - July 19, 2005 - Case FLD2005-01004 - Page 4 9 0 2. The uses within the comprehensive infill redevelopment project are compatible with adjacent lands uses. The parcel proposed for development, as a Problematic Use, is contrary to two criteria required for the establishment of Problematic Uses within the Commercial District; that the parcel not be adjacent to property located within a residential district and not be within 500 feet of another Problematic Use. The parcel is adjacent to property designated as Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) district and is within 500 feet of a pawnshop (Problematic Use). The criteria outlined in the Code per Section 2-704.L are meant to ensure that problematic uses, as defined by the Code, are located adjacent to other, compatible uses. The request by the applicant to process the proposal as part of a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project circumvents the intent and requirements of the Code. The proposed problematic use is not compatible with adjacent land uses. 3. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a comprehensive infill redevelopment project will upgrade the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. The applicant states in their application that the site will remain essentially unchanged. The only proposed changes include the addition of an attached sign on the east facade, the covering and reuse of the existing freestanding sign (which does not meet the requirements of Code with regard to area and height) and minimal perimeter landscaping. The applicant has not clearly articulated how the proposal will upgrade the immediate vicinity of the parcel. 4. The design of the proposed comprehensive infill redevelopment project creates a form and function which enhances the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and the City of Clearwater as a whole. The changes included with this proposal include some cosmetic changes to the exterior of the building, the covering and reuse of an existing freestanding sign and minimal landscape additions. The existing freestanding sign is not in compliance with Code with regard to area and height. 5. Flexibility in regard to lot width, required setbacks, height and off-street parking are justified by the benefits to community character and the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and the City of Clearwater as a whole. The proposal appears to circumvent the requirements of Code with regard to the location of problematic uses through the use of a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. The applicant has not clearly articulated how locating a problematic use within 500 feet of another problematic use and adjacent to residentially zoned property and reducing all setbacks will benefit the community character and the immediate vicinity of the parcel and the City of Clearwater as a whole. The proposal does not meet the following General Applicability (3-913. 5) criterion: 1. Development is consistent with the community character of the immediate vicinity. The parcel proposed for development, as a Problematic Use, is contrary to two criteria required for the establishment of Problematic Uses within the Commercial District; that Staff Report - Community Development Board - July 19, 2005 - Case FLD2005-01004 - Page 5 • the parcel not be adjacent to property located within a residential district and not be within 500 feet of another Problematic Use. The parcel is adjacent to property designated as Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) district and is within 500 feet of a pawnshop (Problematic Use). The criteria outlined in the Code per Section 2-704.L are meant to ensure that problematic uses, as defined by the Code, are located adjacent to other, compatible uses. The request by the applicant to process the proposal as part of a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project circumvents the intent and requirements of the Code. The proposed problematic use is not compatible with adjacent land uses. t Additionally, the proposal does not meet the following Comprehensive Sign Program (3-1807.4, and 7) criteria: 1. Height, area, number and location of signs. The height, area, number and location of signs permitted through the Comprehensive Sign Program shall be determined by the Community Development Coordinator based on the following criteria: overall size of site, relationship between the building setback and sign location, frontage, access and visibility to the site, intended traffic circulation pattern, hierarchy of signage, scale and use of the project, consistency with Beach by Design, Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan or any other applicable special area plan and submittal of a master sign plan for the development parcel/project. The proposed sign is eleven feet in height. The application lists the sign fagade as being 48 square feet in area. The bulk of the height is composed of the base which is 71.5 square feet in area (almost 1.5 times the stated area of the sign face) and is painted the same color as the background of the sign face and the proposed awnings. The Code permits a sign base to constitute up to 50 percent of the area of a sign face. Because this base visually functions as an extension and part of the sign fagade Staff considers the entire structure to be a sign 119.5 square feet in area where a maximum of 50 square feet may be permitted (one half the lot width of 100 feet). 2. Elimination of unattractive signage. The signage proposed in a comprehensive sign program will result in the elimination of existing unattractive signage or will result in an improvement to the appearance of the parcel proposed for development in comparison to signs otherwise permitted under the minimum sign standards. The applicant has not presented any evidence that the existing freestanding sign is less attractive than the proposed sign. The existing sign, which resembles a cactus, is 56 square feet in area and 20 feet in height and was brought into conformance with the previous Land Development Code as required by the sign amortization program in 1992.

My comment was that there was no change in the footprint of the building, where the parking was going, etc. The major characteristics of the site. I made extreme efforts to show the improvements of the building (just see the elevations), the parking, the fencing and landscaping.

Some of these were mid-stream, If it is in error I certainly regret that. If it is more or less one line in the report as you suggest then maybe it is an oversight. Also, unless you find us to be totally unreasonable, unfair or intractable, please give us a chance to work with you in a positive manner. Although you and I have not always been in agreement over the years, I think I and my departments have always been able to work with you. At least that is how I perceived things. Give me a chance to look at the issue with Mr.. Tefft and he or I will follow up with you ASAP.

On July 19, 2005, the Community Development Board (CDB) reviewed your Flexible Development application to permit a problematic use within 500 feet of another problematic use and abutting single-family residential uses to the west as otherwise required by Section 2-704.L., a reduction to the front (east) setback from 25 feet to 8 feet (to parking), a reduction to the side (south) setback from 10 feet to 3 feet (to pavement), a reduction to the side (north) setback from 10 feet to 0 feet (to parking), and a reduction to the rear (west) setback from 20 feet to 4 feet (to parking), as part of a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project in the Commercial (C) District under the provisions of Section 2-704.C., a Comprehensive Sign Program under the provisions of 3- 1807, and a Comprehensive Landscape Program under the provisions of Section 3-1201.G. The CDB APPROVED the application based upon the following findings of fact, conclusions of law, and conditions of approval: Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law: 1. The subject property is 17,002 square feet (0.39 acres), 100 feet wide, and is located within the Commercial (C) District; 2. Based upon the information provided by Amscot, the development proposal meets the criteria required for Problematic Uses (Sections 2-704.L 1 and 2); 3.

That the freestanding sign base is modified and approved by staff prior to the issuance of any permits so that the sign base does not exceed 50 percent of the permitted area of the sign face. On September 20, 2005, the CDB reconsidered their approval of the Comprehensive Sign Program to permit a 37.7 square foot attached sign for Amscot Financial under the provisions of Section 3-1807, based upon the following findings of fact and conclusions of law and conditions of approval: Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law: 1. That the 0.39 acre subject property is within the Commercial (C) District and the Commercial General (CG) Future Land Use Plan category; 2. That the development proposal does not comply with the Flexibility criteria for the Comprehensive Sign Program as per Section 3-1807.C. Conditions of Approval: 1.

All required Certificates of Occupancy shall be obtained within two years of the date of issuance of the initial building permit. Please be advised that time frames do not change with successive owners. The Community Development Coordinator may grant an extension of time for a period not to exceed one year and only within the original period of validity. The CDB may approve one additional extension of time after the Community Development Coordinator's extension to initiate a building permit application. The issuance of this Development Order does not relieve you of the necessity to obtain any building permits or pay any impact fees that may be required. In order to facilitate the issuance of any permit or license affected by this approval, please bring a copy of this letter with you when applying for any permits or licenses that require this prior development approval. Additionally, an appeal of a Level Two approval (Flexible Development) may be initiated pursuant to Section 4- 502.B. by the applicant or by any person granted party status within 14 days of the date of the CDB decision. The filing of an application/notice of appeal shall stay the effect of the decision pending the final determination of the case. The appeal period for the reconsideration of the Comprehensive Sign Program expires on October 4, 2005 (14 days from the date of the CDB decision).
