Comprehensive Sign Plan (CSP) Findings
The proposed CSP meets all of the criteria for a Comprehensive Sign Plan outlined in 
Section 11-46-3(D) of the MZO. These include the following:
1.
The development site contains unique or unusual physical conditions that would 
limit or restrict normal sign visibility from East Hampton Avenue, which serves as 
the only public street access to the site.
2.
The proposed CSP exhibits unique architectural style and distinguishing features 
including colors and materials that are consistent with the approved building 
design on the site.
3.
The proposed signage incorporates special design features that reinforce or are 
integrated with the building architecture. The proposed signs comprised of 
aluminum and illuminated pan channel letters are designed to exhibit the brand 
architectural standards of the hotel development and will be well integrated with 
the rest of the site.
