SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Approve an amendment to the Clearwater Community Development Code to modify freestanding signage provisions to incorporate the US 19 zoning district and pass Ordinance 9030-17 on first reading. (TA2017-03004)
Body
SUMMARY:
Proposed Ordinance 9030-17 amends only Section 3-1807 of the Community Development Code (CDC), and only adds language that would enable those properties now within the new US 19 zoning district to have freestanding signage because, in its present form, the CDC would not permit for any such signage. There are no changes proposed to those regulations on height, area, number and location of signs.
The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed text amendment to the Community Development Code is consistent with and furthers the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the Community Development Code as outlined in the staff report. The CDB reviewed the proposed text amendment at its meeting of April 18, 2017 and unanimously recommended approval of the amendment.
