ITEM NO. 16. APPROVED A REQUEST FOR A UNIFIED SIGN DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAM
(Secretary's note: This item is a companion item to Agenda Item #15)
Director of Planning and Economic Development Collins presented the item to the City
Council. He advised that the applicant, CADG 901 Airport Freeway, LLC, originally
received approval for the Founders Parc Planned Development in 2015 in order to provide
opportunity for a mixed use and mixed density development. Centurion American
Development Group is in the process of developing commercial restaurant properties
within the area.
The intent of the Unified Sign Development Program is to establish a specific branding
design for unique signs within a district. The proposed program addresses consistency
of design, branding, and materials for the signs within the development. Approved by the
City in several other mixed-use Planned Developments, the program proposed allows the
placement of open-frame, channel letter neon or similar light source, roof signage
advertising for restaurants. The roof signs will be located directly on the building and will
be oriented to face South Industrial Boulevard and not toward adjacent residential uses.
By allowing these unique signs, this will reduce the need for a pole/pylon sign at the
entrance of Founders Parc or a monument at the restaurant location.
Council Member Stinneford expressed his appreciation to City staff for their efforts in
bringing a unique product to the city.
Council Member Stinneford motioned to approve a request for a Unified Sign
Development Program for the Founders Parc South restaurant development located on

The square footage of the dining and bar areas within the building is approximately 5,815
