REQUEST:
The Community Development Department-Code Enforcement Division requests
the City Commission review information pertaining to the S.R. 434 Corridor Vision
Plan for Redevelopment.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this agenda item is to request the Commission review information pertaining to
the S.R. 434 Corridor Vision Plan for Redevelopment in regard to nonconforming signs.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY:
Under current regulations, all nonconforming signs having an original cost in excess of one
hundred (100) dollars and up to three thousand (3,000) dollars must come into compliance with
the sign standards within two (2) years of adoption. The standards were approved November 14,
1997, therefore these nonconforming signs are required to come into compliance November 14,
1999. Any owner of a sign who wished to rely upon a longer amortization period was required
to file with the City a statement and written agreement by November 14, 1998. The appeal
period has expired.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The Code Enforcement Division is prepared to issue notifications to sign owners that their sign
may be in nonconformance and that the amortization period has ended. Failure to conform to
the current guidelines may result in Code Enforcement action.
