Site Plan Review and Appearance Board
Meeting Date: July 24, 2025 (Linda Purdo and Cynthia Lloyd absent)
1. Marketplace of Delray MSP, Northwest Corner of West Atlantic Avenue and South Military Trail (PZ-000006-2025)
Request: Amendment of the Master Sign Program for Marketplace of Delray to accommodate the following modifications: (1) the addition of two signs for a corner tenant, BJs, for a total of four signs; (2) color change for the under-canopy signs from teal to Sherwin Williams (SW) Anonymous 7046 grey-green; (3) increase the number of tenant panels per side on freestanding sign located at the western entrance from West Atlantic Avenue from seven to nine tenants; and (4) addition of plaza’s name on the top of all three freestanding signs.
Public Comment: No public comment.
Board Comment: The Board deemed the additional Curbside Pickup signage for the corner tenant (BJ’s) excessive; Board members noted the existing under-canopy teal color is more in line with Delray and the additional Plaza sign name for the freestanding signs is too small to identify the Plaza.
Board Actions:
Modification 1: Additional Signage for Corner Tenant: Approved as amended to allow one additional sign (Spirits Shop Sign) 5-0
Modification 2: Under-Canopy Color Change: Approved 3-2
Modification 3: Freestanding Sign Tenant Number: Approved 5-0
Modification 4: Freestanding Signs Plaza Sign: Approved 5-0
