Council allows Legacy Place signage updates and waivers as owners promise repainting and lighting upgrades
Summary
Palm Beach Gardens approved an amended master signage program for Legacy Place, granting four waivers for ground signs, taller directory signs, larger vehicle directional copy area and increased heights for directional signage; the ownership team committed to repainting the center, upgrading garage lighting and landscaping around new signage.
The Palm Beach Gardens City Council on Oct. 9 approved Resolution 71‑2025, which updates the Legacy Place master signage program and grants four waivers the property owner sought to modernize tenant directories, ground identifications and directional signs.
Nicole Plunkett, speaking for the applicant, told the council the changes are part of a broader refresh that includes a new color palette, updated tenant panels and enhanced wayfinding; she described four waiver requests: (1) an additional tenant panel on existing ground signs (six spaces requested where five are permitted), (2) increased directory height for monument/directory signs, (3) increased copy area for vehicle directional signs and (4) increased height for directional signage. Ownership representatives Caitlin Griffin and Gussie (Gussey) Gordon were present and said painting and lighting work has already begun.
City staff recommended approval and emphasized the applicant’s commitments: repainting the center to a modern palette (work under way, expected within about ten weeks), replacing and upgrading parking‑garage fixtures, and adding landscape around ground signs. Plunkett said some tenants require visibility even though they are internal to the center and lack frontage on PGA Boulevard, a primary rationale for additional tenant panels on ground signs.
Council members voiced support for the update and the navigational improvements. Vice Mayor Middleton called the proposed “navigational tools” an asset; another council member noted foot‑traffic metrics presented by ownership that showed a year‑to‑date increase in site visits after recent improvements. The council voted 4‑0 to approve the amended master signage program and the four associated waivers.
Implementation: the owner will proceed with repainting, lighting fixture replacements and installation of the updated signs per the approved plan; staff indicated those site improvements and the landscaping specified in the application will be conditions of approval.
