AMENDMENT TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SIGN CODE
ORDINANCE No. 2469-2021; AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE EXISTING SECTION 6.11.03 ENTITLED “NON-CONFORMING SIGNS; AMORTIZATION OF CERTAIN SIGNS” IN CHAPTER 6 OF THE CITY OF STUART LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO REMOVE DEADLINE FOR THE AMORTIZATION PERIOD FOR EXISTING, NON-CONFORMING POLE SIGNS AND PROVIDE PROVISIONS TO ACCELERATE POLE SIGN REMOVAL; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF CONFLICTING ORDINANCES; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
]ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE RECORD. UM THIS ITEM IS COMING BEFORE YOU BECAUSE THE CITY'S LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE HAS A REGULATION ON POLE SIGNS THAT ALL HAVE TO BE REMOVED. BY JANUARY. 1ST 2022. THIS ITEM WAS INITIALLY BROUGHT TO THE CITY COMMISSION BECAUSE THAT TIME IS APPROACHING SOON FOR DIRECTION TO STAFF. WHETHER WE WANT TO REMOVE THE DEADLINE OR PROVIDE ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS. THE CITY COMMISSION DID DIRECT STAFF TO COME UP WITH REGULATIONS TO HELP ACCELERATE THE REMOVAL OF THE POLE SIGNS. UM WHEN WE DID THE WINDSHIELD SURVEY BACK IN 2016 WE IDENTIFIED ABOUT 290 POLE SIGNS ABOUT 90 POLE SIGNS HAVE BEEN REMOVED OR REPLACED. THERE ARE ABOUT 100 AND 90 POLLS. TIMES STILL REMAINING, BUT WE CONTINUE TO SEE REDUCTION OVER THE YEARS. UH SO THE NEW REGULATIONS READ THAT UM. ALL OF TO HAVE ALL ABANDONED OR DAMAGE NONCONFORMING POLE SIGNS WITHIN THE CITY OF TWO, UH, CITY OF STEWART REMOVED IN AN EXPERIENCE EXPEDITERS MANNER. SO IF WE HAVE ANY DAMAGE NONCONFORMING SIGN THAT REQUIRES A PERMIT TO BE REPAIRED SHALL BE REMOVED WITHIN 90 DAYS OF THE WRITTEN NOTICE FROM THE CITY OF STOOP, STEWART. AND IF WE HAVE ANY ABANDONED NONCONFORMING PAUL SIGNS PERTAINING TO ANY BUSINESSES THAT ARE NO LONGER OPERATING, AND THEY'VE BEEN CLOSED FOR 180 DAYS OR LONGER. THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO REMOVE THOSE POLLS SIGNS WITH A WRITTEN NOTICE FROM THE CITY OF STEWART. TO THESE TWO
[00:05:01]
REGULATIONS ARE PUT IN PLACE TO HELP EXPEDITE THE REMOVAL OF POLE SIGNS. SO TODAY STAFF IS ASKING FOR APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 24 69 2021. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ONLINE. ANY FOR COMMENTS. JUST ONE QUESTION. SO PAUL SIGNS IN OUR IN THE CITY OF STEWART ARE PROHIBITED, CORRECT, CORRECT. RIGHT. IT'S JUST THE DEADLINE TO REMOVE. FIRST. THAT SAID I'D MOVE APPROVAL. ANY OTHER COMMENTS.MILEY COMMENT WOULD BE. CREATING ORDINANCES THAT THE CITY IGNORED. THAT THE BAD PRESS WHAT HAPPENED, BUT ORIGINALLY. I CERTAINLY SHARE THE COMMISSIONERS CONCERNED THAT. IT IS NOT AN INFANT, SUBSTANTIAL EXPENSE TO IMPOSE UPON ON IT. TO ACCOMMODATE THEM TO A GREAT DEGREE AS POSSIBLE. BUT. MIKE MORTALITY STRIKES ME AS I CAN GIVE YOU SOME BRIEF HISTORY. SO WHEN JEFF KROSNOFF WAS COMMISSIONER, THERE WAS A PRESENTATION AND I THINK THEY USED CLEARWATER, FLORIDA AND SHOWED. BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES OF LOTS OF SIGNS AND THEN LANDSCAPING WITHOUT SIGNS. AN ORDINANCE WAS PASSED THAT HAD A GRANDFATHER IN CLAUSE AND I THINK THE GRANDFATHER IN CLAUSE WAS ORIGINALLY 2000 AND EIGHT OR MAYBE 2000 AND NINE AND AS WE KNOW NOW IN 2000 AND SEVEN LATE THE BANKING INDUSTRY IN THE UNITED STATES TOOK THE COLLAPSE AND THEN MORTGAGE BACKED SECURITIES FAILED. AND THEN MOST HOMES FAILED AND FORECLOSURES HIT. AND WHEN IT CAME IN, WE WERE IN THE HEIGHT OF THE BIGGEST RECESSION SINCE WE'VE BEEN IN SINCE 1929 AND AS A RESULT OF COMMISSION DECIDED PROBABLY NOT A GOOD IDEA. TWO.
PUT THESE GUYS OUT OF BUSINESS OVER THE SIGNS. SO AT THE TIME THEY EXTENDED IT. I BELIEVE IT WAS 10 YEARS OR SOMETHING. MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT HERE KIND OF THING, MOVED IT OUT TO 2000 AND 18 AND 19, AND THEN IT HAD EXTENDED AGAIN BY 24 MONTHS, I BELIEVE IS WHAT IT WAS, AND THAT'S WHERE WE ARE NOW. AND BASICALLY, WHAT'S HAPPENED IS. WHEN YOU DO LIKE AS, UH PANEL MENTIONED WHEN YOU DO THE WINDSHIELD STUDY TO GO. WE HAVE A LIST AND WE'VE GOT A MAP AND WE KNOW WHERE THEY ARE. WE SEE THAT THERE IS A STEADY PROGRESSION OF THESE SIGNS.
GOING AWAY WITH EITHER THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT WE WON'T GET PERMITS OR THEY GET BLOWN DOWN OR THEY'RE REMODELING OR WHATEVER THE CASE MIGHT BE, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GOING AWAY, AND SO. CONSENSUS AS WELL RATHER THAN CAUSING A HARDSHIP ON THESE SMALLER BUSINESSES, BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THEY ARE. IT'S NOT HOME DEPOT. IT'S THE LITTLE GUYS THAT. IS AFFECTING AND TO TAKE A POLL SIGN DOWN AND PUT A NEW MONUMENT SIGN UP A NEW MONUMENT SIGNS OF BETWEEN 10 AND $15,000 ALL DAY LONG, SO IT'S A REAL BIG HIT. TO THE FOLKS TO DO IT AND WHEN WE STARTED MOVING FORWARD WITH IT BEFORE AND SENT OUT LETTERS AND NOTICES PEOPLE SAY THEY CAN'T DO IT. AND SO MAYBE THEY WERE TELLING THE TRUTH. MAYBE THEY WEREN'T. I THINK THE CONSENSUS WAS SIMPLY THAT LOOK THIS THIS GRANDFATHER IN CONCEPT. DOES SEEM TO WORK WHEN THE WHEN THE COMMISSION FIRST PASSED THE ORDINANCE, THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE BENEFIT OF TIME. THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF 100% OF THOSE SIGNS WOULD BE STILL BE STANDING AT THE END, AND THEREFORE IT WAS MORE OF A. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN SCARE THESE PEOPLE INTO DOING IT IF THEY THINK IT'S COMING AND EVERYBODY'S NOTICED AND WEAK CITY SENT OUT CERTIFIED MAIL TO EVERY SINGLE POLL SIGNED OWNER AND SAID, HERE'S YOUR DEADLINE AND THEN 22 YEARS BEFORE. HERE'S YOUR DEADLINE, AND THEY SIMPLY WERE LIKE LOOKING. I'M NOT DOING I THINK IT WAS MORE OF A REASONABLE ABOUT ATTRITION, BUT AS MR MASSING. IF THEIR POLL SIGN BREAKS OR IF THEY WANT TO REPAIR THE LIGHTS OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE. WE DON'T ISSUE.
UM, IT'S FOR THE WHOLE SIGNS TO FORCE THEM TO UNDERSTAND HOW OINTMENT. HEY! UH I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. WHAT IS THE PENALTY IF THEY DON'T CONCUR BY THE DATE. OKAY? GIANTS. OKAY? WE HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I HAD TO PULL, SO I HAD A BUSINESS WITH THE WITH THE
[00:10:06]
OFFENDING POLE SIGN, AND IT WOULD HAVE, LIKE BANKRUPTED US HAD WE HAD TO, YOU KNOW.REPLACE THAT. SO I FEEL WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. CAMPBELL ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A SORT OF STICK TO WHAT WE SAY. BUT ALSO, I THINK, LIKE HAVING ROOM TO BE LIKE, WELL, MAYBE THAT WAS A LITTLE EXTREME IS YOU KNOW WE WANT FLEXIBLE. FACT OF GOVERNMENT AND I THINK GETTING RID OF THIS IS A GOOD THING FOR SMALL BUSINESSES. LIKE, TOTALLY AGREE. MAYBE ANTICIPATE BETTER.
DOES THE ONUS PARLIAMENT WOULD HAVE PUT ON THE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WILLING TO TOLERATE ALL I'M SAYING. WE HAVE A SECOND, I'LL SECOND. ALL IN FAVOUR, RIGHT? ALL RIGHT. ALL OPPOSED. UM. THE NEXT THE REQUEST TO CONTINUE THE ITEM WITH NO SET DATE. ANYONE
