Application No. SWAV 26-01– Advance Auto Parts Page 1 CITY OF NORTH LAUDERDALE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO: PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD FROM: TANYA DAVIS-HERNANDEZ, AICP, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR THRU: ANDREW DISBURY, ASSISTANT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR BY: ISABELLA CROWLEY, PLANNER I DATE: FEBRUARY 3, 2026 APPLICANT: ATLAS SIGNS ADDRESS: 7522 SOUTHGATE BLVD SUBJECT: SWAV 26-01: SIGN WAIVER REQUEST TO ALLOW ONE WALL SIGN ON THE NORTH FACING ELEVATION OF THE EXISTING ADVANCE AUTO PARTS LOCATED ON SOUTHGATE BLVD WITH 18-INCH-HIGH LETTERING TITLED “ADVANCE”, WHEREAS SECTION 94-16(C)(2)(C) OF THE CITY CODE ALLOWS FOR 16-INCH MAXIMUM LETTER HEIGHT FOR WALL SIGNS WITHIN A COMMUNITY BUSINESS B-2 ZONING DISTRICT. REQUEST OVERVIEW: On November 18, 2025, Gina Penney with Atlas Signs, on behalf of the business owner Discount Auto Parts, LLC, doing business as Advance Auto Parts, submitted an application requesting a sign waiver to exceed the maximum allowable letter size for wall signage. The proposal involves the replacement of an existing wall sign with a new “Advance Auto Parts” wall sign to be located on the north-facing façade of the existing store at 7522 Southgate Boulevard. The Applicant is requesting relief from Section 94-16(c)(2)c, Factors Determining the Size of Signs, to allow an increase in maximum letter height from 16 inches to 18 inches within the Community Business (B-2) zoning district. BACKGROUND LOCATION INFORMATION AND SIGN COMPARISON: The subject property is one of eight Teleperformance outparcels located approximately one-third of a mile from the intersection of Southgate Boulevard and Rock Island Road. Adjacent uses include a McDonald’s restaurant and Strong Tower Church to the east, Master Minds Academy (MMA) to the west, and the Teleperformance campus to the south. McDonald’s currently maintains 3 wall signs, including 1 on the west elevation and 2 on the north elevation. In addition, the site includes a freestanding sign and multiple directional signs. Strong Tower Church has one freestanding sign and no wall signage. The MMA building includes only a painted wall sign.

Application No. SWAV 26-01– Advance Auto Parts Page 2 Figure 1 below illustrates an aerial view of the subject site identifying the proposed sign locations. S1 indicates the proposed wall sign, and S2 identifies the existing monument sign where updated sign faces are proposed. At this time, no additional details have been provided for the S2 signage. FIGURE 1 SIGN DETAILS: Figure 2 is a photo depicting the proposed wall sign showcasing a stacked letter set at 29.375" in total height, mounted on an aluminum raceway to match the building facade. The height for the first line is 18 inches, which includes the logo and "Advance" wording, while the second line has a height of 8.125 inches and includes the "Auto Parts" wording. The overall sign face area is 29.7 square feet, which is significantly smaller than the 77 square feet permitted by zoning code for this location. FIGURE 2 Total Sign Face Area: 2’ -5 ⅜” x 12’- 1 ½” = 29.7 square feet

Application No. SWAV 26-01– Advance Auto Parts Page 3 ANALYSIS SIGN CODE CONSISTENCY: With the exception of the waiver request to allow for letters that are two inches taller than what’s permitted for the “Advance” portion of the proposed sign, the overall proposed sign package is consistent with the sign regulations applicable to the B-2 zoning district, as summarized in Table 1 below: Description Code Section Standard Proposed Notes Sign Face Area (Maximum) Sec.94-16 (c)(2)a 1 square foot per 1 linear foot of frontage Frontage: 77 feet 29.7 square feet Consistent Maximum Size of Lettering Sec.94-16 (c)(2)c 16 inches 18 inches Waiver required; 2 inches Maximum Depth Sec.94-13(18) 12 inches from the building +/- 9 inches Consistent TABLE 1 EVALUATION: In accordance with Section 94-43 of the City’s Sign Code, the City recognizes that the commercial and industrial areas located adjacent to Southgate Boulevard, McNab Road, State Road 7, S.W. 71st Avenue, and S.W. 81st Avenue and Commercial Boulevard are established business areas serving a regional population base and certain requirements of this chapter may not be applicable. As such, the City Commission may waive the requirements of the sign regulations and shall consider the following factors when determining if a waiver is warranted. The required findings are listed below in italicized print and are followed by Staff’s findings pursuant to the Applicant’s justification for the waiver: 1. The owner of the property, or the owner's agent, or any lessee or tenant provided an affidavit of the owner's consent is provided shall submit specific drawings of the proposed sign along with a statement explaining the specific requirements of this chapter that are requested to be waived and the reasons the waiver is necessary; Staff Findings: Staff is in receipt of the Applicant’s Letter of authorization consenting Highmark Lighting and Signage to sign permit applications, submit, and pick-up permits on behalf of the Business Owner. Also, Staff received the Applicant’s Justification Statement explaining the specific requirements of this chapter that are requested to be waived.

Application No. SWAV 26-01– Advance Auto Parts Page 4 2. The planning and zoning board shall then review the waiver request in terms of its compatibility with the surrounding businesses and with the intent of this chapter and shall make a recommendation to the governing body; Staff Findings: Upon reviewing the surrounding properties and analyzing the current stock of wall signs, Staff concludes that the proposed signage will match the commercial character along Southgate Blvd and meets the intent of the Article. As stated previously, McDonalds to the east has 3 wall signs with the primary sign being slightly smaller than that of the proposed Advance Auto Parts sign, by way of a previously approved sign waiver. The primary sign for McDonalds is 27 inches in height, while the Applicant’s sign is just over 29 inches in height, which makes the two signs comparable in terms of scale and visual impact. 3. The governing body shall review the waiver request in the same manner as the planning and zoning board and shall, by resolution, either approve, approve with modifications, or disapprove the applicant's request; and Staff Findings: The proposed signage is about 75 feet from the applicant’s property line and is not injurious or distracting to the neighboring properties, drivers, or others. 4. Application fees shall be charged in accordance with ordinance. Staff Findings: The Applicant has addressed this criterion. RECOMMENDATION CONCLUSION: City Administration finds that the proposed sign waiver meets the criteria in Section 94-43 and is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Sign Regulations, as stipulated under Section 901. Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Board weigh the merits of the sign waiver request and determine if the waiver shall be approved or denied. If the waiver is deemed consistent with the applicable criteria, Staff recommends that the approval be subject to the following: 1) An approved building permit consistent with Attachment E ATTACHMENTS A. Location Map B. Sign Waiver Application C. Justification Statement D. Letter of Authorization E. Sign Packet
