HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD OF THE CITY OF SANFORD DEVELOPMENT
ORDER NO. 22-08 RELATING 202 SANFORD AVENUE AND ISSUING
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
The Historic Preservation Board (HPB) of the City of Sanford issued this
Development Order issuing a Certificate of Appropriateness under the provisions of
Schedule "K" of the City's Land Development Regulations (LDRs) relating to and
touching and concerning the following described property: 202 Sanford Avenue, which
is assigned Tax Parcel Identification Number: 25-19-30-5AG-0401-0010 by the
Seminole County Property Appraiser.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Property Owner: WETC PROP, LLC
202 South Sanford Avenue
Sanford, Florida 32771
Applicant: Weston James Perkins
The Perkins Group, LLC
855 Palmetto Terrace
Oviedo, Florida 32765
Project: Approval of the HPB for alternative signage relative to property located at
202 Sanford Avenue.
Requested Development Approval: The Applicant requested approval of
alternative signage relative to property located at 202 Sanford Avenue.
IIPa-e
Additional Findings: The property is located at 202 Sanford Avenue within the
Downtown Commercial Historic District.
The Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps show the existing single story commercial building
on this corner in 1917, replacing an earlier wood building. The architectural style is
masonry vernacular. The applicant is proposing a reverse channel letter sign with clear
LED lights on the northeast corner of the building, facing 2nd Street. The proposed sign
replicates the West End Trading Co. logo, and is 3 feet 6 inches high and 7 feet, 3
inches long. The proposed sign height exceeds the 18 inch height limit for wall signs.
The proposed sign meets the criteria of Schedule "K9 of the City's LDRs and is similar
to reverse lit channel signs at the Old Jailhouse and Celery City Craft on S. Palmetto
Avenue. The exception is the sign height. The 18" height restriction in the code
corresponds with a traditional horizontal sign that would be placed above the
storefrontitransom on a historic commercial building. While this square sign would not
be the preferred size and configuration for the front fagade, its scale is appropriate for
placement on the building corner.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
(a). Pursuant to Section 8.0 of Schedule "S° of the City's LDRs, the HPB has
reviewed the proposed Certificate of Appropriateness and all application documentation
and matters relating thereto in accordance with the procedures for altering historic
landmarks or structures within historic districts as set forth in Schedule "S".
(b). Specifically, Schedule "K" of the City's LDRs provides as follows (in 2021
the City's sign regulations were removed from Schedule "S" and added to Schedule
"K"):
21Page
(1). The HPB shall have the authority to grant variances to this Sign Code
relative to signs located within a City historic district upon finding
competent substantial evidence that the signage is consistent with the

compatible with the development within the general area of the proposed
sign.
(2). Up to 2 business or use identification signs are permittable for each

factual finding, then such shall be taken to be so as part of this Development Order.
(d). The proposed Certificate of Appropriateness is hereby found and
determined to comply with the aforestated.
(e). Additionally, the Certificate of Appropriateness sought is hereby found and
determined to be consistent with the City of Sanford Comprehensive Plan and
development of the property as proposed would be consistent with and in compliance to
applicable land development regulations and all other applicable regulations and
ordinances as set forth in the Code of Ordinances of the City of Sanford.
(f). This is a development order and shall not create contractual rights of the
property owner against the City nor contractual obligations of the City to the property
owner and, to that end, the property owner shall have no contractual rights or remedies
against the City with regard to any land use action of the City.
(g). The City has not waived any rights or remedies by taken the action set
41Page
forth herein or any successive development orders and reserves any and all rights and
remedies available to the City under controlling law including, but not limited to, the
protections under the laws pertaining to sovereign immunity,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1). The aforementioned application for a Certificate of Appropriateness is
(2,). This Development Order granting approval of a Certificate of
Appropriateness touches and concerns the aforedescribed property and is subject to
code enforcement action in accordance with the controlling provisions of law.
