Board's goals and objectives, the Office of the County Attorney is continually working

Item 11 - Public Hearing * Land Development Code Amendment. First Hearing on revised
Sign Code - Article VII and definitions in Article XII. Revising Sign Code to
comply with First Amendment Laws. Inclusion of Digital Billboards on a limited
basis along Interstate 95. The County Attorney's Office and Growth Management
received direction from the Board to revise the Sign Code to be consistent with new
case law received from the United States Supreme Court and to explore the allowance
of Digital Billboard signs along limited road segments. This is the first hearing of a
three part hearing to implement a revised Sign Code - Article VII of the Land
Development Code. The changes are to make the Code be compliant with new case
law regarding the content neutrality of signs. The new sign code clarifies
administrative and interpretation provisions, removes or revises special use sign
types to be content neutral, sets up a new system of temporary sign allocations per
property in lieu of a content based system, and finally implements Digital Billboards
along limited arterial roads for a limited time. The implementation of Digital
Billboards is on a trial basis. This is the first Hearing of a required three-part
hearing. The Board may choose to implement all or part of the proposed ordinance. If
the Board chooses to continue implementation as presented or as amended during
the hearing, the Planning and Zoning Agency will then hear and recommend any
changes. The Board of County Commissioners will hold a third and final hearing
after 5:00 p.m. to enact the revised sign code.
