Authorization
REQUEST:
The Community Development Department-Code Enforcement Division requests
the City Commission holds a public hearing for the first reading of Ordinance 755
to amend the City Code that deals with garage sale signs.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this agenda item is to hold a public hearing for the first reading of Ordinance 755
which amends Section 16-83 of the City Code that deals with garage sale signs.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY:
Section 16-83 of the City Code prohibits garage sale signs, regardless of size, on private property
other than where the sale is being held.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
On November 8, 1999, the City Commission directed staff to amend the code that prohibits
garage sale signs on premises other than where the garage sale is being held. In order to control
the proliferation of garage sale signs under the current regulations, garage sale signs are allowed
only on the premises where the sale is being held. The new Ordinance would not prohibit garage
sale signs under six (6) square feet on private property.
IMPLEMENTATION:
The City Commission will hold a public hearing for the second reading and adoption of
Ordinance 755 on December 6, 1999.
