Therefore, it is possible for Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Jacksonville to be enforcing similar sign regulations following our amortization periods. It is clear that all three cities are trying to eliminate signage blight by reducing the allowable height of freestanding signs. Additionally, Section 17 -52.- Requests to waive certain terms of this chapter of the City Code allows for a waiver to be issued by the City Commission whenever an applicant can demonstrate a burden in complying with the regulations. Staff would support such a waiver where it is demonstrated strict compliance would interfere with public safety. Attached is a list of businesses within the City with freestanding signs, with a notation of which addresses have been issued permits and are in compliance with current sign regulations. There are currently 73 business locations with freestanding signs, approximately 54 signs will be required to conform to the new regulations. Since 2008 we issued 19 sign permits that were required to comply with our current regulations. BUDGET: No budget impact RECOMMENDATION: Adopt proposed ordinance 60 -11 -16 allowing a new extension of time for compliance with the sign amortization regulations from September 9, 2012 until January 1, 2015.
