freestanding signs as Atlantic Beach along the Mayport Corridor, which is scheduled for amortization in
2018. 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.
