NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by The Board of County Camussioners of Indian
River County, Florida.
That Section 25-0 of the
Code of Ordinances of Indian
River County
is hereby
repealed.
That the Code of Ordinances of Indian River County is hereby amended by adding a
Section to be numbered 25-0.1, which section reads as follows.
Section 25-0, SIGN REGULATIONS
It is the intent of this Ordinance to promote and protect the public
health, safety, general welfare, and aesthetics of Indian River County, Florida,
and limiting the existing and proposed posting, display, erection,
by regulating
use and maintenance of signs, billboards, and other advertising structures
within the County.
With respect to signs advertising business uses, it is specifically intend-
ed, among other things, to avoid excessive proliferation and clutter among sign
displays competing for public attention. Therefore, the display of signs should
be appropriate to the land, building or use to which they are appurtenant and be
adequate, but not excessive, for the intended purpose of identification.
Furthermore, it is determined that the signs of least value to people within the
County are those which carry commercial messages other than advertisement of any
product, service, event, person, real estate, institution, or business located
on the premises where the sign is located, however, it is realized that a
restricted number of off -premise directional signs are needed to convey
information to the public.
It is further intended to protect property values, create -a more attractive
economic and business climate, enhance and protect the physical appearance of
the County, preserve the scenic and natural beauty of the County and provide a
more enjoyable and pleasing community. Also, it is intended hereby to improve
vehicular and pedestrian safety, curb the deterioration of natural beauty, and
reduce visual pollution."
These objectives are consistent with the County's Comprehensive Plan and
are vital to continued growth in the area's tourist industry which aggressively
markets the County's high "quality of life" and "scenic beauty". To this end,
the sign ordinance equitably allocates commercial and noncommercial signage and
reduces the likelihood of future clutter along the County's transportation
corridors.
That the Code of Ordinances of Indian River County is hereby amended by adding a
Section to be numbered 25-0.2, which section shall read as follows:
