First Reading of Ordinance 24-1594 - Amending Section 3-16.4 On -Premises Temporary Sign Regulations, of the City's Unified Land Development Regulations The City Clerk read Ordinance 24-1594 by title, as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, AMENDING ARTICLE XVI, SIGNS, CHAPTER III, PERFORMANCE CRITERIA OF THE UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS TO AMEND SECTION 3-16.4, ON -PREMISES TEMPORARY SIGN REGULATIONS TO REDUCE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF TEMPORARY NON- RESIDENTIAL SIGNS, AND TO REMOVE THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS FOR NONCOMMERCIAL TEMPORARY SIGNS AND SMALL COMMERCIAL SIGNS; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE." Staff Presentation: Chief Planner Antonia DeJesus gave an overview of Ordinance 24-1594 which amends Section 3-16.4, On -premises temporary sign regulations, of the City's Unified Land Development Regulations (ULDR), to remove associated fee and registration requirements and to refine and simplify related performance standards. In order to adapt to changing circumstances and to promote ease of access and compliance for residents and businesses, the City is proposing an amendment to Section 3-16.4 of the ULDR to clarify registration and fee requirements for temporary signs with commercial and non- commercial messaging, refine the allowable size and number of temporary signs, and simplify regulations based on either a residential or non-residential principal use. The proposed amendment eliminates the $4.00 fee for all temporary signage sized six (6) square feet or less; clarifies that on -premises temporary signs with non-commercial messaging do not require registration with the City, nor payment of a fee; and requirements are simplified into two categories based on whether the principal use of a subject property is residential or non-residential. Ms. DeJesus provided a summary of the performance standards for all temporary signs for all land uses as set forth in the proposed amendment which included maximum number of temporary signs per parcel; maximum sign size for a temporary sign; maximum sign height for a temporary ground sign; maximum sign height for a temporary wall sign (inclusive of a window sign); minimum sign setback required to be maintained by a temporary ground sign from edge of right-of-way; minimum spacing that is required to be maintained by a temporary ground sign from any other temporary ground sign; and maximum aggregate surface area allocated for all temporary signs on a parcel. She also noted that one additional change was that the duration for display of a temporary commercial sign for businesses having an active business tax receipt had been increased from 30 to 35 days. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously 6-0 at its meeting on January 10, 2024 to recommend approval of Ordinance 24-1594 to the City Commission. The proposed amendment does not compromise the integrity of the City's temporary signage regulations and is consistent with the City's ULDR and Comprehensive Plan. Budget Impact: There is no impact on the City Budget. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Community Development Director recommended approval of Ordinance 24-1594 on first reading.
