Alvarez Historic Preservation Planner Posted on: January 29, 2010 l HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEMORANDUM STAFF REPORT Applicant: Marcy Albin Property Owner: Dharma Properties, Inc. Project Location: 14 South Swinton Avenue, Old School Square Historic District HPB Meeting Date: February 17, 2010 File No.: 2009-234 ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The action before the Board is a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of a free-standing sign on a contributing property located at 14 South Swinton Avenue, Old School Square Historic District, pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 2.4.6(H). BACKGROUND & PROJECT DESCRIPTION The subject property consists of Lot 11, Block 61, Town of Delray and is located on the west side of South Swinton Avenue, approximately 80' south of West Atlantic Avenue. Constructed in 1912 as the Rectory for the City's first Methodist Church, the two-story, Frame Vernacular style building is a contributing property within the Old School Square Historic District. The subject property is zoned OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District), and retail and personal service uses have been approved within the subject structure. The site contains three (3) signs: a wall sign on the gable end of the Rectory, a freestanding sign at the south side of the driveway (utilized for the business south of the Rectory at 20 South Swinton Avenue), and the subject freestanding sign located in front of the Rectory. It should be noted that a waiver to allow an additional sign on the site, currently utilized by the subject business, was approved by the City Commission at its meeting of April 1, 2003. The waiver was required because the LDRs do not permit more than two signs per property, and two signs were already in existence. The subject sign, which is currently mounted on the sign posts that remain from the previous business signage, has the following characteristics: • Shape: Rectangular with a bone shape at the top • Measurements: 52'wide x 61' high, and is 22 square feet • Colors: Top and Bottom—Yellow background with Black letters Middle— Blue Background with white letters • Misc: 5 Palm Trees are located on the blue background within the center of the sign • Font: Varies The subject sign was utilized at the previous location of the subject business within Delray Beach and outside of a historic district. Signs within historic districts are required to comply with additional review criteria as a means of providing appropriate and compatible signage for the historic building and/or district. Therefore, signs approved outside of a historic district may not be deemed appropriate or compatible within a historic district. The HPB reviewed the subject request for the sign at its meeting of October 7, 2009 and gave the applicant the following direction: 1. That the existing sign is temporarily permitted on the existing sign posts located in front of business for up to 90 days, with additional time permitted subject to a submitted request and Board approval; 14 South Swinton Avenue COA 2009-234 HPB Meeting February 17,2010 Page 2 of 5 2. That the word "Grooming" be either removed from the sign or obscured until a Class III Site Plan Modification has been approved for this use; and, 3. That a new sign design be submitted for Staff review and Board approval. On October 30, 2009, the Class III Site Plan Modification to add the "Personal Services" use, otherwise referred to as Grooming, was administratively approved by the Director of Planning and Zoning. The aforenoted 90 days granted by the Board expired on January 5, 2010, and therefore, the Board reviewed the request at its January 6, 2010 meeting with no additional information submitted. Upon further consideration, the Board continued the request as follows: 1. That a revised design be submitted within 30 days for review by the HPB; and, 2. That the temporary sign be granted an additional 60 days, by which time a new sign is to be installed. After the 60 days, removal of the existing sign will be required, unless additional time is requested by the applicant and granted by the Board. Per the additional 30 days granted by the Board, the revised design/request was to be submitted no later than February 5, 2010, with the additional 60 days for the temporary sign expiring on March 9, 2010. While no additional information has been submitted as of the date this report was finalized (02.12.10), the Board must consider the request because the additional 30 days has expired. It is important to note that the applicant has expressed concerns regarding the limited possibilities for the relocation of a sign. City Staff has discussed the following locations with the applicant: • South side of driveway at South Swinton Avenue—The existing posts are to provide signage for a business at 20 South Swinton Avenue (south of the Rectory). Therefore, this location is not a possibility for the subject business, unless a multi-tenant sign plan is submitted for HPB review. • North side of driveway at South Swinton Avenue — A freestanding sign may be located here subject to compliance with the LDR requirement that nothing over 3' may be located within the 20' sight visibility triangle at the intersection of a driveway and right-of-way. The COA for a sign is now before the Board for consideration. ANALYSIS LDR SECTION 4.6.7—SIGNS LDR Section 4.6.7(A) is noted below as it applies to the subject signage request(emphasis added). (A) Purpose: The purposes of these sign regulations are: to minimize the possible adverse affect of signs on nearby public and private property: to foster the integration of signage with architectural and landscape designs. (2) Preservation of Community's Beauty: The City of Delray Beach which includes a beach resort community as well as major office and industrial parks relies heavily on its natural surroundings and beautification efforts to retain its economic advantage. This concern is reflected by actively regulating the appearance and design of signs. (3) Property Value Protection: Signs should not create a nuisance to the occupancy or use of other properties as a result of their size, height, brightness, or movement. They should be in harmony with buildings, the neighborhood, and other conforming signs in the area. Staff Analysis: The above noted LDR has been provided with particular emphasis placed on those components applicable to the subject proposal and should be taken into consideration upon review by the Board. Upon review by Staff, it does not appear that the proposed sign complies fully with the above noted purposes with respect to fostering "the integration of signage with architectural" designs and its 14 South Swinton Avenue COA 2009-234 HPB Meeting February 17,2010 Page 3 of 5 "harmony with buildings, the neighborhood, and other conforming signs in the area." Therefore, revisions are recommended by Staff to result in a more harmonious and appropriate solution. Note: The Visual Compatibility Standards of LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(8) are applicable to the subject review as it is located in a historic district. Additional analysis with suggested revisions is noted below and in the Staff recommendation. LDR Section 4.6.7(D) (2) (a)-(c) addresses "Aesthetic Qualifications" and states: The aesthetic quality of a building, or of an entire neighborhood, is materially affected by achieving visual harmony of the sign on or about a structure as it relates to the architecture or the building or the adjacent surroundings. The following aesthetic conditions must be met: (a) Garishness: The overall effect of the lettering, configuration or color of a sign shall not be garish. "Garish" signs are those that are too bright gaudy, showy, glaring, and/or cheaply brilliant or involving excessive ornamentation. Garish signs are not in harmony with and not compatible with the building or adjacent surroundings. (b) Scale and Conformity with Surroundings: The scale of the sign in terms of area, shall be consistent with the scale of the building on which it is to be placed or painted and the neighborhood or streetscape where it is to be located. Scale shall also be considered in terms of Subsection (F) (2) with respect to height and area. (c) Quality: All signs shall have a professional appearance that enhances the visual aesthetics of the area. Staff Analysis: When considering signage within a historic district, it is important to take into consideration the historic character of the district, and more importantly, of the structure to which the sign will be associated. With respect to the aesthetic qualifications noted above, the proposal is not considered to be in compliance as it is not in harmony with the building or adjacent surroundings. Further, the scale of the sign itself is not in harmony with the posts to which is has been attached; this contrast detracts from any redeeming qualifications the sign may have. Signage in a historic district is typically of a more unified appearance with respect to the components within the sign and with the building to which it is associated. The proposed signage has not achieved the intent of the"Aesthetic Qualifications" noted above. Note: The Visual Compatibility Standards of LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(8) are applicable to the subject review as it is located in a historic district. Additional analysis with suggested revisions is noted below and in the Staff recommendation. LDR Section 4.6.7(E)(7) contains signage regulations for all historic districts and the OSSHAD zoning district as follows: Signage Regulations for OSSHAD and all Historic Districts Type of Sign Quantity Area (Maximum) Location Height Illumination Wall 30 square feet Building face N/A Permitted Projecting Not more than 30 square feet(face) From building or N/A Permitted two per lot, parcel under canopy Free-standing or development. 30 square feet(face) May be in front 8 Permitted yard setback Under-Canopy 4 square feet(face) Under canopy N/A Permitted Staff Analysis: The proposed sign complies with the subject regulation as it measures 22 square feet, while the maximum is 30 square feet. As previously noted, the applicant has discussed alternatives for a sign 14 South Swinton Avenue COA 2009-234 HPB Meeting February 17,2010 Page 4 of 5 location. The chart illustrates which types of signs and the quantity of signs that are permitted. The subject property contains three signs: 2 freestanding, and 1 wall sign located in the 2nd floor gable end of"The Rectory" where the subject business is located. Note: The Visual Compatibility Standards of LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(8) are applicable to the subject review as it is located in a historic district. Additional analysis with suggested revisions is noted below and in the Staff recommendation. LDR SECTION 4.5.1 — HISTORIC PRESERVATION SITES AND DISTRICTS Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(H)(5), prior to approval, a finding must be made that any Certificate of Appropriateness which is to be approved is consistent with Historic Preservation purposes pursuant to Objective A-4 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan and specifically with provisions of Section 4.5.1, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. LDR Sections 4.5.1(E)(5) and 4.5.1(E)(8) provide guidelines in evaluating Certificates of Appropriateness for the alteration or addition of exterior architectural features. The applicable guidelines are as follows: (E)(5) Standards and Guidelines A historic site, building, structure, improvement, or appurtenance within a historic district shall only be altered, restored, preserved, repaired, relocated, demolished, or otherwise changed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, and the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, as amended from time to time. (See applicable Standards and Guidelines below) (E)(8) Visual Compatibility Standards All improvements to buildings, structures, and appurtenances within a designated historic district shall be visually compatible. Visual compatibility shall be determined in terms of height, front façade proportion, proportion of openings (windows and ' doors), rhythm of solids to voids, rhythm of buildings on streets, rhythm of entrance and/or porch projections, relationship of materials, texture and color, roof shapes, walls of continuity, scale of a building, directional expression of front elevation, architectural style, and additions. Visual compatibility for minor and major development as referenced in Section 4.5.1(E)(2) shall be determined by utilizing criteria contained in (a)-(m). The following Visual Compatibility Standards apply: (g) Relationship of Materials, Texture, and Color: The relationship of materials, texture, and color of the facade of a building and/or hardscaping shall be visually compatible with the predominant materials used in the historic buildings and structures within the subject historic district. Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines The Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines suggest the following regarding signage: • Use materials and sign types that are based on historical precedent. • The scale of the signage should relate to the scale and detail of the historic building, and not • overwhelm or call attention to the sign. • The material of the sign need not be identical, but should be compatible with the construction materials of the building. • The choice of typeface is a recommended way of conveying the period in which the building was constructed. Historic photographs of the period may be consulted to identify some common typestyles. r 14 South Swinton Avenue COA 2009-234 HPB Meeting February 17,2010 Page 5 of 5 Staff Analysis: No direct reference is made to signage affecting historic structures, sites, or districts within the review criteria above; however, there is specific intent to project the importance of preserving "character- defining" and distinctive features as a means of providing a compatible and appropriate solution for signage. The intent of those regulations and guidelines noted above has not been met in that the sign is not generally visually compatible with the subject property or the building to which it is associated. The scale does not relate to the historic detailing of the building, and, as discouraged in the Guidelines noted above, it is overwhelming and calls attention to the sign. Further, the typeface should be more unified within the sign itself. Given the above noted concerns and those expressed throughout the report, Staff has provided an illustration which would more closely meet the intent of those applicable regulations and guidelines, while placing the least amount of revision and additional expense on the applicant by utilizing existing materials and taking inspiration from the existing color scheme. Please see the notes provided on the illustration. As no additional information has been submitted for review, Staff recommends that the Board deny the request and require that the unapproved signage be removed or refer the unresolved matter to the Code Enforcement Board. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS A. Continue with direction. B.

My home is Delray Beach. As such, I was able to serve as the memory of what Delray Beach did look like—yes,actual memories and not just recollections of black and white photos printed in a book about Delray Beach. MaryLou Jamieson,of the Cason family,also served on that Board. We were the collective memory of Delray Beach. We had both seen a great many changes. During our tenure, Mayor Jay Alperin spoke to us; I believe he had been on the Historic Preservation Board. He urged us to remember that the job of the Board is not to turn Delray Beach into"Colonial Williamsburg"; Delray Beach is not a city inhabited by"re-enactors"who leave at closing time to then live in their modern world. We were not building a museum, but keeping what is good and making it part of a thriving community. Many of us have worked very hard to make Delray Beach a thriving community. Business in the downtown business area is vital—especially a business that is also in an overlay Historic District. A business that cannot be seen will not thrive. It will die and another business will make the attempt and another. This does not bode well for that portion of the downtown business area. I understand that Marcy Albin,the owner of The Golden Bone on South Swinton Avenue, has had a great deal of difficulty getting the signage for her shop passed through The Historic Preservation Board. I have not seen the prospective sign. What I have heard is the plight of a shopkeeper;she seems to have made every effort to comply with the H.P.B. Her efforts are continually denied. She does not seem to have been helped by H.P.B. The"Rectory"area of South Swinton is easily quickly passed with no notice of the shops therein. The shop needs a sign that can be seen;as do the other shops there. I understand the sign has been considered "garish". When I served on H.P.B.we often argued as to appropriateness. I believe that if the color paint and style were available at the time,our city ancestors would have used it. Also remember, most businesses did not take photos of their little shops and signs in the early 1900s;if they did,they would have been in black and white. I'll hazard a guess that there is not a member of the Historic Preservation Board,or the Board Liason,that lived in Delray Beach in the early 1900s. Allow me to reiterate my case for granting a sign permit to The Golden Bone: the purpose of historic preservation is to keep history, not to build a museum. For a business to thrive,it needs a sign.

Respectfully, Gail-Lee McDermott Former Member of the Historic Preservation Board Cc: Mayor Woodie MacDuffie Delray Beach City Commissioners } I HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEMORANDUM STAFF REPORT Applicant: Marcy Albin Property Owner: Dharma Properties, Inc. Project Location: 14 South Swinton Avenue, Old School Square Historic District HPB Meeting Date: February 17, 2010 File No.: 2009-234 ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The action before the Board is a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of a free-standing sign on a contributing property located at 14 South Swinton Avenue, Old School Square Historic District, pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 2.4.6(H). BACKGROUND & PROJECT DESCRIPTION The subject property consists of Lot 11, Block 61, Town of Delray and is located on the west side of South Swinton Avenue, approximately 80' south of West Atlantic Avenue. Constructed in 1912 as the Rectory for the City's first Methodist Church, the two-story, Frame Vernacular style building is a contributing property within the Old School Square Historic District. The subject property is zoned OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District), and retail and personal service uses have been approved within the subject structure. The site contains three (3) signs: a wall sign on the gable end of the Rectory, a freestanding sign at the south side of the driveway (utilized for the business south of the Rectory at 20 South Swinton Avenue), and the subject freestanding sign located in front of the Rectory. It should be noted that a waiver to allow an additional sign on the site, currently utilized by the subject business, was approved by the City Commission at its meeting of April 1, 2003. The waiver was required because the LDRs do not permit more than two signs per property, and two signs were already in existence. The subject sign, which is currently mounted on the sign posts that remain from the previous business signage, has the following characteristics: • Shape: Rectangular with a bone shape at the top • Measurements: 52'wide x 61' high, and is 22 square feet • Colors: Top and Bottom—Yellow background with Black letters Middle— Blue Background with white letters • Misc: 5 Palm Trees are located on the blue background within the center of the sign • Font: Varies The subject sign was utilized at the previous location of the subject business within Delray Beach and outside of a historic district. Signs within historic districts are required to comply with additional review criteria as a means of providing appropriate and compatible signage for the historic building and/or district. Therefore, signs approved outside of a historic district may not be deemed appropriate or compatible within a historic district. The HPB reviewed the subject request for the sign at its meeting of October 7, 2009 and gave the applicant the following direction: 1. That the existing sign is temporarily permitted on the existing sign posts located in front of business for up to 90 days, with additional time permitted subject to a submitted request and Board approval; 14 South Swinton Avenue COA 2009-234 HPB Meeting February 17,2010 Page 2 of 5 2. That the word "Grooming" be either removed from the sign or obscured until a Class Ill Site Plan Modification has been approved for this use; and, 3. That a new sign design be submitted for Staff review and Board approval. On October 30, 2009, the Class Ill Site Plan Modification to add the "Personal Services" use, otherwise referred to as Grooming, was administratively approved by the Director of Planning and Zoning. The aforenoted 90 days granted by the Board expired on January 5, 2010, and therefore, the Board reviewed the request at its January 6, 2010 meeting with no additional information submitted. Upon further consideration, the Board continued the request as follows: 1. That a revised design be submitted within 30 days for review by the HPB; and, 2. That the temporary sign be granted an additional 60 days, by which time a new sign is to be installed. After the 60 days, removal of the existing sign will be required, unless additional time is requested by the applicant and granted by the Board. Per the additional 30 days granted by the Board, the revised design/request was to be submitted no later than February 5, 2010, with the additional 60 days for the temporary sign expiring on March 9, 2010. While no additional information has been submitted as of the date this report was finalized (02.12.10), the Board must consider the request because the additional 30 days has expired. It is important to note that the applicant has expressed concerns regarding the limited possibilities for the relocation of:a sign. City Staff has discussed the following locations with the applicant: • South side of driveway at South Swinton Avenue —The existing posts are to provide signage for a business at 20 South Swinton Avenue (south of the Rectory). Therefore, this location is not a possibility for the subject business, unless a multi-tenant sign plan is submitted for HPB review. • North side of driveway at South Swinton Avenue — A freestanding sign may be located here subject to compliance with the LDR requirement that nothing over 3' may be located within the 20' sight visibility triangle at the intersection of a driveway and right-of-way. The COA for a sign is now before the Board for consideration. ANALYSIS LDR SECTION 4.6.7—SIGNS LDR Section 4.6.7(A) is noted below as it applies to the subject signage request(emphasis added). (A) Purpose: The purposes of these sign regulations are:to minimize the possible adverse affect of signs on nearby public and private property: to foster the integration of signage with architectural and landscape designs. (2) Preservation of Community's Beauty: The City of Delray Beach which includes a beach resort community as well as major office and industrial parks relies heavily on its natural surroundings and beautification efforts to retain its economic advantage. This concern is reflected by actively regulating the appearance and design of signs. (3) Property Value Protection: Signs should not create a nuisance to the occupancy or use of other properties as a result of their size, height, brightness, or movement. They should be in harmony with buildings, the neighborhood and other conforming signs in the area. Staff Analysis: The above noted LDR has been provided with particular emphasis placed on those components applicable to the subject proposal and should be taken into consideration upon review by the Board. Upon review by Staff, it does not appear that the proposed sign complies fully with the above noted purposes with respect to fostering "the integration of signage with architectural" designs and its I, 14 South Swinton Avenue COA 2009-234 HPB Meeting February 17,2010 Page 3 of 5 "harmony with buildings, the neighborhood, and other conforming signs in the area." Therefore, revisions are recommended by Staff to result in a more harmonious and appropriate solution. Note: The Visual Compatibility Standards of LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(8) are applicable to the subject review as it is located in a historic district. Additional analysis with suggested revisions is noted below and in the Staff recommendation. LDR Section 4.6.7(D) (2) (a)-(c) addresses "Aesthetic Qualifications" and states: The aesthetic quality of a building, or of an entire neighborhood, is materially affected by achieving visual harmony of the sign on or about a structure as it relates to the architecture or the building or the adjacent surroundings. The following aesthetic conditions must be met: (a) Garishness: The overall effect of the lettering, configuration or color of a sign shall not be garish. "Garish" signs are those that are too bright gaudy, showy, glaring, and/or cheaply brilliant or involving excessive ornamentation. Garish signs are not in harmony with and not compatible with the building or adjacent surroundings. (b) Scale and Conformity with Surroundings: The scale of the sign in terms of area, shall be consistent with the scale of the building on which it is to be placed or painted and the neighborhood or streetscape where it is to be located. Scale shall also be considered in terms of Subsection (F) (2) with respect to height and area. (c) Quality: All signs shall have a professional appearance that enhances the visual aesthetics of the area. Staff Analysis: When considering signage within a historic district, it is important to take into consideration the historic character of the district, and more importantly, of the structure to which the sign will be associated. With respect to the aesthetic qualifications noted above, the proposal is not considered to be in compliance as it is not in harmony with the building or adjacent surroundings. Further, the scale of the sign itself is not in harmony with the posts to which is has been attached; this contrast detracts from any redeeming qualifications the sign may have. Signage in a historic district is typically of a more unified appearance with respect to the components within the sign and with the building to which it is associated. The proposed signage has not achieved the intent of the"Aesthetic Qualifications" noted above. Note: The Visual Compatibility Standards of LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(8) are applicable to the subject review as it is located in a historic district. Additional analysis with suggested revisions is noted below and in the Staff recommendation. LDR Section 4.6.7(E)(7) contains signage regulations for all historic districts and the OSSHAD zoning district as follows: Signage Regulations for OSSHAD and all Historic Districts Type of Sign Quantity Area (Maximum) Location Height Illumination Wall 30 square feet Building face N/A Permitted Projecting Not more than 30 square feet(face) From building or N/A Permitted two per lot, parcel under canopy Free-standing or development. 30 square feet(face) May be in front 8' Permitted yard setback Under-Canopy 4 square feet(face) Under canopy N/A Permitted Staff Analysis: The proposed sign complies with the subject regulation as it measures 22 square feet, while the maximum is 30 square feet. As previously noted, the applicant has discussed alternatives for a sign 14 South Swinton Avenue COA 2009-234 HPB Meeting February 17,2010 Page 4 of 5 location. The chart illustrates which types of signs and the quantity of signs that are permitted. The subject property contains three signs: 2 freestanding, and 1 wall sign located in the 2nd floor gable end of"The Rectory"where the subject business is located. Note: The Visual Compatibility Standards of LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(8) are applicable to the subject review as it is located in a historic district. Additional analysis with suggested revisions is noted below and in the Staff recommendation. LDR SECTION 4.5.1 — HISTORIC PRESERVATION SITES AND DISTRICTS Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(H)(5), prior to approval, a finding must be made that any Certificate of Appropriateness which is to be approved is consistent with Historic Preservation purposes pursuant to Objective A-4 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan and specifically with provisions of Section 4.5.1, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. LDR Sections 4.5.1(E)(5) and 4.5.1(E)(8) provide guidelines in evaluating Certificates of Appropriateness for the alteration or addition of exterior architectural features. The applicable guidelines are as follows: (E)(5) Standards and Guidelines A historic site, building, structure, improvement, or appurtenance within a historic district shall only be altered, restored, preserved, repaired, relocated, demolished, or otherwise changed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, and the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, as amended from time to time. (See applicable Standards and Guidelines below) (E)(8) Visual Compatibility Standards All improvements to buildings, structures, and appurtenances within a designated historic district shall be visually compatible. Visual compatibility shall be determined in terms of height, front facade proportion, proportion of openings (windows and doors), rhythm of solids to voids, rhythm of buildings on streets, rhythm of entrance and/or porch projections, relationship of materials, texture and color, roof shapes, walls of continuity, scale of a building, directional expression of front elevation, architectural style, and additions. Visual compatibility for minor and major development as referenced in Section 4.5.1(E)(2) shall be determined by utilizing criteria contained in (a)-(m). The following Visual Compatibility Standards apply: (g) Relationship of Materials, Texture, and Color: The relationship of materials, texture, and color of the facade of a building and/or hardscaping shall be visually compatible with the predominant materials used in the historic buildings and structures within the subject historic district. Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines The Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines suggest the following regarding signage: • Use materials and sign types that are based on historical precedent. • The scale of the signage should relate to the scale and detail of the historic building, and not • overwhelm or call attention to the sign. • The material of the sign need not be identical, but should be compatible with the construction materials of the building. • The choice of typeface is a recommended way of conveying the period in which the building was constructed. Historic photographs of the period may be consulted to identify some common typestyles. F 14 South Swinton Avenue COA 2009-234 HPB Meeting February 17,2010 Page 5 of 5 Staff Analysis: No direct reference is made to signage affecting historic structures, sites, or districts within the review criteria above; however, there is specific intent to project the importance of preserving "character- defining" and distinctive features as a means of providing a compatible and appropriate solution for signage. The intent of those regulations and guidelines noted above has not been met in that the sign is not generally visually compatible with the subject property or the building to which it is associated. The scale does not relate to the historic detailing of the building, and, as discouraged in the Guidelines noted above, it is overwhelming and calls attention to the sign. Further, the typeface should be more unified within the sign itself. Given the above noted concerns and those expressed throughout the report, Staff has provided an illustration which would more closely meet the intent of those applicable regulations and guidelines, while placing the least amount of revision and additional expense on the applicant by utilizing existing materials and taking inspiration from the existing color scheme. Please see the notes provided on the illustration. As no additional information has been submitted for review, Staff recommends that the Board deny the request and require that the unapproved signage be removed or refer the unresolved matter to the Code Enforcement Board. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS A. Continue with direction. B. Move approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness (2009-234) for 14 South Swinton Avenue, Old School Square Historic District, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set forth in the Land Development Regulations, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. C. Move denial of the Certificate of Appropriateness (2009-234) for 14 South Swinton Avenue, Old School Square Historic District, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and does not meet criteria set forth in the Land Development Regulations, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. (Motion to be phrased in the affirmative).

Consideration of a Certificate of Appropriateness (2009-234) for new signage on a contributing property. VII. REPORTS AND COMMENTS • Public Comments • Board Members • Staff ■ Upcoming Events and Activities • HPB Initiatives VIII. ADJOURN Amy E. Alvarez Historic Preservation Planner Posted on: January 29, 2010 HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEMORANDUM STAFF REPORT Applicant: Marcy Albin Property Owner: Dharma Properties, Inc. Project Location: 14 South Swinton Avenue, Old School Square Historic District HPB Meeting Date: February 17, 2010 File No.: 2009-234 ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The action before the Board is a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of a free-standing sign on a contributing property located at 14 South Swinton Avenue, Old School Square Historic District, pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 2.4.6(H). BACKGROUND & PROJECT DESCRIPTION The subject property consists of Lot 11, Block 61, Town of Delray and is located on the west side of South Swinton Avenue, approximately 80' south of West Atlantic Avenue. Constructed in 1912 as the Rectory for the City's first Methodist Church, the two-story, Frame Vernacular style building is a contributing property within the Old School Square Historic District. The subject property is zoned OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District), and retail and personal service uses have been approved within the subject structure. The site contains three (3) signs: a wall sign on the gable end of the Rectory, a freestanding sign at the south side of the driveway (utilized for the business south of the Rectory at 20 South Swinton Avenue), and the subject freestanding sign located in front of the Rectory. It should be noted that a waiver to allow an additional sign on the site, currently utilized by the subject business, was approved by the City Commission at its meeting of April 1, 2003. The waiver was required because the LDRs do not permit more than two signs per property, and two signs were already in existence. The subject sign, which is currently mounted on the sign posts that remain from the previous business signage, has the following characteristics: • Shape: Rectangular with a bone shape at the top • Measurements: 52'wide x 61' high, and is 22 square feet • Colors: Top and Bottom—Yellow background with Black letters Middle—Blue Background with white letters • Misc: 5 Palm Trees are located on the blue background within the center of the sign • Font: Varies The subject sign was utilized at the previous location of the subject business within Delray Beach and outside of a historic district. Signs within historic districts are required to comply with additional review criteria as a means of providing appropriate and compatible signage for the historic building and/or district. Therefore, signs approved outside of a historic district may not be deemed appropriate or compatible within a historic district. - The HPB reviewed the subject request for the sign at its meeting of October 7, 2009 and gave the applicant the following direction: 1. That the existing sign is temporarily permitted on the existing sign posts located in front of business for up to 90 days, with additional time permitted subject to a submitted request and Board approval; 14 South Swinton Avenue COA 2009-234 HPB Meeting February 17,2010 Page 2 of 5 2. That the word "Grooming" be either removed from the sign or obscured until a Class Ill Site Plan Modification has been approved for this use; and, 3. That a new sign design be submitted for Staff review and Board approval. On October 30, 2009, the Class Ill Site Plan Modification to add the "Personal Services" use, otherwise referred to as Grooming, was administratively approved by the Director of Planning and Zoning. The aforenoted 90 days granted by the Board expired on January 5, 2010, and therefore, the Board reviewed the request at its January 6, 2010 meeting with no additional information submitted. Upon further consideration, the Board continued the request as follows: 1. That a revised design be submitted within 30 days for review by the HPB; and, 2. That the temporary sign be granted an additional 60 days, by which time a new sign is to be installed. After the 60 days, removal of the existing sign will be required, unless additional time is requested by the applicant and granted by the Board. Per the additional 30 days granted by the Board, the revised design/request was to be submitted no later than February 5, 2010, with the additional 60 days for the temporary sign expiring on March 9, 2010. While no additional information has been submitted as of the date this report was finalized (02.12.10), the Board must consider the request because the additional 30 days has expired. It is important to note that the applicant has expressed concerns regarding the limited possibilities for the relocation of a sign. City Staff has discussed the following locations with the applicant: • South side of driveway at South Swinton Avenue—The existing posts are to provide signage for a business at 20 South Swinton Avenue (south of the Rectory). Therefore, this location is not a possibility for the subject business, unless a multi-tenant sign plan is submitted for HPB review. • North side of driveway at South Swinton Avenue — A freestanding sign may be located here subject to compliance with the LDR requirement that nothing over 3' may be located within the 20' sight visibility triangle at the intersection of a driveway and right-of-way. The COA for a sign is now before the Board for consideration. ANALYSIS LDR SECTION 4.6.7—SIGNS LDR Section 4.6.7(A) is noted below as it applies to the subject signage request(emphasis added). (A) Purpose: The purposes of these sign regulations are: to minimize the possible adverse affect of signs on nearby public and private property: to foster the integration of signage with architectural and landscape designs. (2) Preservation of Community's Beauty: The City of Delray Beach which includes a beach resort community as well as major office and industrial parks relies heavily on its natural surroundings and beautification efforts to retain its economic advantage. This concern is reflected by actively regulating the appearance and design of signs. (3) Property Value Protection: Signs should not create a nuisance to the occupancy or use of other properties as a result of their size, height, brightness, or movement. They should be in harmony with buildings, the neighborhood, and other conforming siqns in the area. Staff Analysis: The above noted LDR has been provided with particular emphasis placed on those components applicable to the subject proposal and should be taken into consideration upon review by the Board. Upon review by Staff, it does not appear that the proposed sign complies fully with the above noted purposes with respect to fostering "the integration of signage with architectural" designs and its 14 South Swinton Avenue COA 2009-234 HPB Meeting February 17,2010 Page 3 of 5 "harmony with buildings, the neighborhood, and other conforming signs in the area." Therefore, revisions are recommended by Staff to result in a more harmonious and appropriate solution. Note: The Visual Compatibility Standards of LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(8) are applicable to the subject review as it is located in a historic district. Additional analysis with suggested revisions is noted below and in the Staff recommendation. LDR Section 4.6.7(D) (2) (a)-(c) addresses "Aesthetic Qualifications" and states: The aesthetic quality of a building, or of an entire neighborhood, is materially affected by achieving visual harmony of the sign on or about a structure as it relates to the architecture or the building or the adjacent surroundings. The following aesthetic conditions must be met: (a) Garishness: The overall effect of the lettering, configuration or color of a sign shall not be garish. "Garish" signs are those that are too bright gaudy, showy, glaring, and/or cheaply brilliant or involving excessive ornamentation. Garish signs are not in harmony with and not compatible with the building or adjacent surroundings. (b) Scale and Conformity with Surroundings: The scale of the sign in terms of area, shall be consistent with the scale of the building on which it is to be placed or painted and the neighborhood or streetscape where it is to be located. Scale shall also be considered in terms of Subsection (F) (2) with respect to height and area. (c) Quality: All signs shall have a professional appearance that enhances the visual aesthetics of the area. Staff Analysis: When considering signage within a historic district, it is important to take into consideration the historic character of the district, and more importantly, of the structure to which the sign will be associated. With respect to the aesthetic qualifications noted above, the proposal is not considered to be in compliance as it is not in harmony with the building or adjacent surroundings. Further, the scale of the sign itself is not in harmony with the posts to which is has been attached; this contrast detracts from any redeeming qualifications the sign may have. Signage in a historic district is typically of a more unified appearance with respect to the components within the sign and with the building to which it is associated. The proposed signage has not achieved the intent of the"Aesthetic Qualifications" noted above. Note: The Visual Compatibility Standards of LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(8) are applicable to the subject review as it is located in a historic district. Additional analysis with suggested revisions is noted below and in the Staff recommendation. LDR Section 4.6.7(E)(7) contains signage regulations for all historic districts and the OSSHAD zoning district as follows: Signage Regulations for OSSHAD and all Historic Districts Type of Sign Quantity Area (Maximum) Location Height Illumination Wall 30 square feet Building face N/A Permitted Projecting Not more than 30 square feet(face) From building or N/A Permitted under canopy two per lot, parcel Free-standing or development. 30 square feet(face) May be in front 8' Permitted yard setback Under-Canopy 4 square feet(face) Under canopy N/A Permitted Staff Analysis: The proposed sign complies with the subject regulation as it measures 22 square feet, while the maximum is 30 square feet. As previously noted, the applicant has discussed alternatives for a sign 14 South Swinton Avenue COA 2009-234 HPB Meeting February 17,2010 Page 4 of 5 location. The chart illustrates which types of signs and the quantity of signs that are permitted. The subject property contains three signs: 2 freestanding, and 1 wall sign located in the 2nd floor gable end of"The Rectory"where the subject business is located. Note: The Visual Compatibility Standards of LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(8) are applicable to the subject review as it is located in a historic district. Additional analysis with suggested revisions is noted below and in the Staff recommendation. LDR SECTION 4.5.1 —HISTORIC PRESERVATION SITES AND DISTRICTS Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(H)(5), prior to approval, a finding must be made that any Certificate of Appropriateness which is to be approved is consistent with Historic Preservation purposes pursuant to Objective A-4 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan and specifically with provisions of Section 4.5.1, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. LDR Sections 4.5.1(E)(5) and 4.5.1(E)(8) provide guidelines in evaluating Certificates of Appropriateness for the alteration or addition of exterior architectural features. The applicable guidelines are as follows: • (E)(5) Standards and Guidelines A historic site, building, structure, improvement, or appurtenance within a historic district shall only be altered, restored, preserved, repaired, relocated, demolished, or otherwise changed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, and the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, as amended from time to time. (See applicable Standards and Guidelines below) (E)(8) Visual Compatibility Standards All improvements to buildings, structures, and appurtenances within a designated historic district shall be visually compatible. Visual compatibility shall be determined in terms of height, front facade proportion, proportion of openings (windows and doors), rhythm of solids to voids, rhythm of buildings on streets, rhythm of entrance and/or porch projections, relationship of materials, texture and color, roof shapes, walls of continuity, scale of a building, directional expression of front elevation, architectural style, and additions. Visual compatibility for minor and major development as referenced in Section 4.5.1(E)(2) shall be determined by utilizing criteria contained in (a)-(m). The following Visual Compatibility Standards apply: (g) Relationship of Materials, Texture, and Color: The relationship of materials, texture, and color of the facade of a building and/or hardscaping shall be visually compatible with the predominant materials used in the historic buildings and structures within the subject historic district. Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines. The Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines suggest the following regarding signage: • Use materials and sign types that are based on historical precedent. • The scale of the signage should relate to the scale and detail of the historic building, and not • overwhelm or call attention to the sign. • The material of the sign need not be identical, but should be compatible with the construction materials of the building. • The choice of typeface is a recommended way of conveying the period in which the building was constructed. Historic photographs of the period may be consulted to identify some common typestyles. 14 South Swinton Avenue COA 2009-234 HPB Meeting February 17,2010 Page 5 of 5 Staff Analysis: No direct reference is made to signage affecting historic,structures, sites, or districts within the review criteria above; however, there is specific intent to project the importance of preserving "character- defining" and distinctive features as a means of providing a compatible and appropriate solution for signage. The intent of those regulations and guidelines noted above has not been met in that the sign is not generally visually compatible with the subject property or the building to which it is associated. The scale does not relate to the historic detailing of the building, and, as discouraged in the Guidelines noted above, it is overwhelming and calls attention to the sign. Further, the typeface should be more unified within the sign itself. Given the above noted concerns and those expressed throughout the report, Staff has provided an illustration which would more closely meet the intent of those applicable regulations and guidelines, while placing.the least amount of revision and additional expense on the applicant by utilizing existing materials and taking inspiration from the existing color scheme. Please see the notes provided on the illustration. As no additional information has been submitted for review, Staff recommends that the Board deny the request and require that the unapproved signage be removed or refer the unresolved matter to the Code Enforcement Board. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS A. Continue with direction. B. Move approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness (2009-234) for 14 South Swinton Avenue, Old School Square Historic District, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set forth in the Land Development Regulations, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. C. Move denial of the Certificate of Appropriateness (2009-234) for 14 South Swinton Avenue, Old School Square Historic District, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and does not meet criteria set forth in the Land Development Regulations, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. (Motion to be phrased in the affirmative). RECOMMENDATION Deny the Certificate of Appropriateness (2009-234) for 14 South Swinton Avenue, Old School Square Historic District, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and does not meet criteria set forth in the Land Development Regulations, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, requiring that the unapproved sign be removed immediately or that the matter be resolved by the Code Enforcement Board.
