Summary Explanation and Background:
Staff is proposing an ordinance to amend Chapter 62, Article IX, specifically amending Section 62-3316 and Table #1 by adding an allowance for Community Development District (CDD) Park Signage use. As such, staff is seeking input and recommendations regarding this proposal.
On May 20, 2025, the Board of County Commissioner approved legislative intent and permission to advertise this Ordinance amendment. The intent of this ordinance is to allow a CDD to utilize signage for identification and local community event purposes regardless of the property's current zoning classification or existing site-built building mass. As many parks may not contain substantial buildings to create large signs, this ordinance creates an individual sign allowance ranging from 0-75 square feet in area and when multiple signs are proposed, a cumulative sign surface area of up to 150 square feet for signage needs.
In conjunction with this endeavor, Table #1 (Signs by type and zoning classification) has been amended to allow all zoning classifications to be able to support the commercial signage use of a CDD park as permanent signage under the column identified as: Directional, Identification, Instructional, and Directory Signs. Those additional zoning classifications include the: SR, RR-1, SEU, REU, EU, EU-1, EU-2, RU-1-7, RU-1-9, RU-1-11, RU-1-13, RRMH-1, RRMH-2.5, RRMH-5, TRC-1, TR-3, ARR, TR-1-A, TR-1, TR-2, RA-2-4, RA-2-6, RA-2-8 RA-2-10, EA, RU-2-4, RU-2-6, RU-2-8, RU-2-10, RU-2-12, RU-2-15, RU-2-30 zoning classifications....
