Authorization
REQUEST:
The Community Development Department-Code Enforcement Division requests
the City Commission holds a public hearing for the first reading of Ordinance No. 753
to amend the City Code that deals with trailer signs along the S.R. 434
Corridor.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this agenda item is to hold a public hearing for the first reading of
Ordinance No. 753 which amends Section 20-466 (n) (8) and Section 20-454 (n) (8) of the City
Code that deals with trailer signs along S.R. 434.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY:
Section 20-466 and Section 20-454 of City Code prohibits trailer signs along the S.R. 434
corridor. Trailer signs are allowed, with restrictions, in other areas of the city.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
Under the current S.R. 434 Corridor Vision Plan for Redevelopment and New Development,
trailer signs are prohibited, but a provision is made to allow a temporary sign for a limited time
for special circumstances, such as grand opening, or new business. The Commission expressed
concern for those businesses that have limited frontage, or whose S.R. 434 frontage is set back at
such a distance that a temporary banner-type sign would be ineffective. On November 8, 1999,
