6 Introduction This Master Sign Program provides a comprehensive overview of all signs within The Tradition Community. The Tradition Community consists of Tradition, Southern and Western Grove. The Program is composed of two major sections Community Signs and New Development Signs. The first section describes Community Signs provided by Tradition. The second section provides sign guidelines for those developing projects within The Tradition Community. The guidelines are not intended to restrict imagination, innovation or variety, but to assist in creating a consistent, wellplanned solution for identification throughout the community. The master sign program offers many opportunities for creativity and individuality. Procedure All proposed signs, prior to application for a sign permit from City of Port St. Lucie, must be approved in writing by the Tradition Design Review Committee which will review signs based on the criteria that follows. Letter of Approval by the Tradition Design Review Committee is to be used for obtaining City of Port St. Lucie sign permits. No sign permit shall be allowed without a Tradition Design Review Committee Letter of Approval and stamped plans. All applicants shall familiarize themselves with and obtain a copy of the current review fees from the Tradition Design Review Committee. Background The sign guidelines in this manual supersede existing City of Port St Lucie codes and ordinances and any adopted citywide design standards. Any sign elements or criteria not addressed in this program will first be directed to the Tradition Design Review Committee for review and consideration. Tradition Review Design Committee decisions are final. Appeals shall be directed to the Tradition Design Review Committee. Signs represented are subject to change by the master developer. Quantity and location of signs are estimated only and subject to change. Existing city codes shall be used for sign criteria not addressed in this program or by the Tradition Design Review Committee. Temporary signs within Tradition will be permitted individually at the discretion of the Tradition Design Review Committee. General Requirements (Apply to all categories within these guidelines and the entire Tradition Community) Utility Setbacks: All structures, including signs, shall be installed a minimum of 10 feet horizontally from all mains (water, gravity, sewer, force and City owned reclaimed water). The 10 foot horizontal setback shall be as measured from the outside edge of the pipe to the nearest point of the structure, including underground (footers for example) or above ground (roof overhangs for example) features. Single or double post community directional and/or informative signs occurring within the rights-of-ways may encroach within these setbacks with Utility Department approval. Those mains installed between structures shall have a 15-foot setback on each side. Additionally, where deep mains are installed, those greater than 9 feet, between structures, the Utility may, at its discretion, require additional horizontal setback. Page 1

7 Sign Area Calculations: Tradition community seals and Tradition community name shall be used throughout the sign program. These decorative theme reinforcing elements shall not be counted in allowable squarefootage or sign face square footage calculations. The allowable sign area shall include the entire area within a circle, rectangle or triangle enclosing the extreme limits of writing, forming an integral part of the display or used to differentiate the sign from the background against which it is placed; excluding the necessary supports or uprights on which such sign is placed.

Allowable Sign Area Façade Sign Placement: Non-residential development may distribute signage to all building facades contingent upon Design Review Committee approval; however maximum allowable square footage shall not be exceeded. Sign Setback: All signs shall maintain a 10 setback from rights-of-way with the exception of those signs specifically designed to occur within road rights-of-way. Signs shall meet FDOT standards. Any sign located within the road rights-of-way will require approval from the City Engineering Department. Community Building/ Civic Structures: Civic buildings and/or structures such as schools, fire stations, post offices, police stations and community centers may have additional and/or modified signage due to the significance and location of the proposed facility and the integration of the signage into a community focal point. Additional and/or modified signs for civic buildings will be allowed based on review and approval by the Tradition Design Review Committee and the City of Port St. Lucie. City of Port St. Lucie approval shall be through the Site Plan Review Committee (SPRC) process and shall conclude with SPRC approval. Page 2

Signs may exceed these dimensions based on the final sign design and in an effort to allow creativity and flexibility in the sign program, however allowable sign area may not be altered. Changeable Copy: Signs with temporary, plastic or changeable letters are prohibited with the exception of gas stations, movie theaters and other specific uses as determined by the Tradition Design Review Committee.
