of the sales center:
Pursuant to Section §265-18 of the City of Sunny Isles Beach Land Development
Regulations, the Applicant is requesting a Site Plan Modification to an approved site
plan to change the location of building signage. The request is for two wall signs facing
Collins Avenue.
2. Sign ordinance variance per Section §265-63.1 of the City of Sunny Isles Beach Code
of Ordinances to increase the allowable size of wall signs from 35 square feet to 43.1
square feet and 58 square feet pursuant to Section §265-56.B.(3).
IV. ZONING REVIEW
The plans reviewed are entitled "St. Regis Sales Center Sign" prepared by Emerald
Designs, stamped received July 7, 2023, consisting of four (4) sheets and a survey
entitled "La Playa Sunny Isles Beach" prepared by Fortin, Leavy, Skiles, Inc., stamped
received July 7, 2023, consisting of one (1) sheet.
1. The following is a review of §265-56.B of the Land development Regulations, titled,
"Nonresidential, Town Center and Mixed -Use Resort District Signs:"
§ 265-56. B. Wall signs
§ 265-56. B. (1) Approvals necessary: City Manager or designee.
Comment: Complies, satisfied with the processing of this application and
pending building permit.
§ 265-56. B. (2) Maximum number:
(a) Office: one per wall face, or two for walls over 80 feet in length.
(b) Retail: one sign per tenant. On -corner or through -store locations
may have an additional wall sign. Such second sign shall be limited
to 50% of the square footage of the primary sign and shall not be
placed on the same building elevation as the primary sign.
Comment: Complies, two wall signs are allowed, as the southern wall face is
107 feet in length. However, one wall sign was approved with the original site
plan; therefore, the site plan modification is requested to allow two.
§ 265-56. B. (3) Maximum sign area: For establishments with up to 200 feet of frontage
on a single elevation, one square foot for each lineal foot of tenant
frontage up to a maximum of 35 square feet. For establishments with
over 200 feet of frontage on a single elevation, one square foot for each
Page 4 of 8
16
September 21, 2023
PZ2023-10
one lineal foot of tenant frontage up to a maximum permitted sign area
of 75 square feet.
Comment: Does not comply, variance requested. One sign is 58 square feet
and the other sign is 43.1 square feet, for a total of 101 square feet of wall
signage.
§265-56.B.(4) Illumination. reverse channel or channel letter sign only.
Comment: Complies, the proposed wall signs are back -lit.
§265-56.B.(5) Supplemental provisions. See gas station provisions contained in this
article.
Comment: Not applicable.
§ 265-56.8. (6) Multitenant shopping center shall conform with § 265-58J of this article.
Comment: Not applicable.
2. The following are the standards of review for a sign ordinance variance from code Sec.
265-63.1.C.:
Review by the City Commission. The application for a variance may be granted if the
City Commission finds:
(1) The variance is not contrary to the public interest;
(2) Special conditions and circumstances do not result from actions of the
applicant;
(3) A literal enforcement of the provisions of this chapter may result in
unnecessary hardship.
Comments: See attached Letter of Intent from the Applicant and final analysis
below provided by staff.
V. FINAL ANALYSIS
To allow the proposed signage, the City must consider the number of wall signs and the
size of the wall signs. First, the site plan modification must be approved to increase the
number of wall signs allowed from one (1) to two (2). The Land Development Regulations
allow offices to have two signs on walls longer than 80 feet. The west fagade of the sales
center, that faces Collins Avenue, is 107 feet in length. Therefore, the request for two wall
signs is consistent with the Land Development Regulations.
Second, the proposed size of the signs requires a sign ordinance variance. As stated in
the sign ordinance purpose and intent of code Sec. 265-50.B.(2), these regulations
Page 5 of 8
17
September 21, 2023
PZ2023-10
"promote positive conditions for sign communication enabling the identification of
residences and business but limiting the size and number of signs and sign messages to
a minimum reasonably necessary while, at the same time, avoiding nuisances to nearby
properties and promoting an attractive environment and lessening visual clutter." The
City's sign ordinance establishes a maximum wall sign area of 35 square feet per each
wall sign. The subject property does not have a special condition or circumstance to justify
an increased wall sign size above the 35 square foot maximum. A literal enforcement of
the provisions of the sign ordinance would allow the sales center to have two wall signs,
but both at a size of 35 square feet each, or 70 square feet total. The proposed variance
to increase the total size of the wall signs to 101 square feet conflicts with the purpose
and intent of lessening visual clutter.
Staff has compiled the relevant facts of the requested site plan modification and sign
ordinance variance and recommends the application be presented to City Commission
for consideration.
VI. CONDITIONS
If the City approves the site plan modification, it will be subject to the following conditions
set forth in Section VI.
The plans reviewed are entitled "St. Regis Sales Center Sign" prepared by Emerald
Designs, stamped received July 7, 2023, consisting of four (4) sheets and a survey

stamped received July 7, 2023, consisting of one (1) sheet. Plans are subject to
revisions -based comments provided by zoning staff of the City of Sunny Isles Beach.
2. Upon the submittal of an application for a building permit, the plans submitted shall
be approved by the Planning and Zoning Department and be consistent with the
specific site plan approved by the City Commission. Plans shall include all the
required elements of the site plan pursuant to the City's Land Development
Regulations and recommendations. Should compliance with recommendations
result in a change that would not be considered "minor" in accordance with Section
265-18 of the City Code; the Applicant shall be required to obtain another approval
of the City Commission.
3. That the Applicant shall pay all fees related to the review of the application described
herein and shall have paid all other fees due to the City.

Letter of Intent
August 18, 2023
Owner's name: La Playa Beach Associates, LLC PZ2023-10
Project address: 18801 Collins Ave., Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160 8/18/2023
Folio No. 3122020030120
Permit No.: 82023-377
To whom it may concern,
The intention of this letter is to require a variance in the maximum allovable number of wall signs from one (1) to two (2). In
addition, we are also requesting an increase in in the allowable size for the fagade signs at the St. Regis Sales Gallery. Both signs
exceeded the maximum allowed of 35 sq.ft. per Code Sec. 265-56(B)(3).
The "St Regis Residences" sign is 37"x226" (58 SQ.FT.)
The "Fortune International Group — Chateau Group" is 109"x57" (43 SQ.FT.)
The front wall is composed of a modulation of 16 porcelain tiles of 122" x 60" each (northwest and southwest). For scale and
harmonic proportion we used one module for the name "St Regis Residences" (northwest) and two modules for "Fortune
International Group — Chateau Group" (southwest) sign. We use the same background material as the fagade to maintain
homogeneity and ensure that only the letters are visible from Collins Avenue.
Placement of the fagade sign is far from sidewalk and with limited visibility due to the distance, the vegetation and the art placed
in the property.
Fagade sign is mounted more than 320 feet away from the sidewalk.
We strongly believe signs are necessary for the public and potential clients to identify the Sales Gallery within such a big lot.
Bringing such a reputable brand to Sunny Isles Beach will help the Sales of this Monument project. Fast sales will aid on expediting
the construction of the second phase of the project.
We request approval of the temporary signs, considering the Sales Gallery will be demolished early 2024.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
