TO: The Honorable Members DATE: April 18, 1983 FILE: <br />of the Board of <br />County Commissioners <br />DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO <br />SECTION 25(0) OF THE <br />SUBJECT: ZONING CODE <br />Patrick Bruce King, A];r P <br />THROUGH: Robert Keating, AICP� <br />Planning & Zoning Mgr., ' <br />FROMmary Jane V. Goetz fried REFERENCES: <br />Staff Planner <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal, <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their <br />regular meeting of May 4, 1983. <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS <br />It has recently been brought to the attention of the Plan- <br />ning and Zoning Department that signs are not specified as <br />permitted uses in all of Indian River County's zoning <br />districts. This is due to the fact that the sign ordinance, <br />which was adopted in 1971, was not amended subsequent to the <br />adoption of any new residential zoning districts. The R -2A, <br />R -2B, R -2C and the R -2D, Multiple -family Districts are not <br />included in the schedule of zoning districts where signs are <br />permitted. <br />At their meeting of March 24, 1982, the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission unanimously recommended approval of this proposed <br />ordinance to the Board of County Commissioners. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS <br />It is the intent of the .sign ordinance to regulate the <br />location, number, size and type of signs erected in Indian <br />River County. <br />The type of sign permitted in each zoning district is based <br />on the allowable uses within that district. The four (4) <br />multi -family zoning classifications omitted from the sign <br />ordinance share the same allowable uses. In accordance with <br />the existing regulations governing signs in residential <br />areas, it would be compatible for the aforementioned dis- <br />tricts to permit.signs as follows: <br />a) Professional - Professional identification sign. <br />b) Sale - A sign pertaining to only the rent, lease or <br />sale of the premises upon which it is displayed. <br />c) Bulletin - A sign or bulletin board located on the <br />premises of a church, institution, club or fraternal <br />organization for the purpose of displaying the name <br />of the church, institution, club or organization and <br />the activities or program of the same. <br />d) Directional - Directional or informational signs of a <br />public nature which states the name or location of an <br />incorporated or unincorporated community; name and place <br />of meeting of a church or civic club such as Chamber of <br />Commerce, Rotary, Civitan or Kiwanis Club. <br />71 <br />MAY 4 1983 bo 53 4( <br />
