RESOLUTION 17-2994 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, RECOGNIZING AND CONFIRMING LEGISLATION IN PROGRESS REGARDING SECTION 3-16.8(B)(7) OF THE UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SMALL STATIC SIGNS PERMITTED ON A PREMISES FROM TWO TO THREE; PROVIDING FOR LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS; RECOGNIZING LEGISLATION IN PROGRESS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, the City Commission has previously found that electronic signs can be distracting and unsightly, but in order to ensure the public is informed of changing conditions, it would be beneficial and appropriate to amend the Unified Land Development Regulations to change the number of small electronic signs of no more than four characters from two to three per premises; and WHEREAS, the City Commission directs Staff to begin the process of amending the Unified Land Development Regulations to accomplish this amendment. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS: SECTION I. Legislative Findings. The above recitals are hereby adopted as the legislative findings of the City Commission. SECTION II. Recognizing Legislation in Progress.

Staff is directed not to issue any permits or approve applications for building permits, development orders or other land use activity within the City of Casselberry which would conflict with the pending amendments. SECTION III. CONFLICTS. All Resolutions, or parts of Resolutions in conflict with any provisions of this Resolution are hereby repealed to the extent of the conflict. SECTION IV. SEVERABILITY.
