WHEREAS, in 1990, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 11000 prohibiting certain theretofore legal advertising structures in the C-1 and more restrictive zoning districts of the City of Miami, and granted a five- year amortization period for the removal of all non- conforming structures in these Districts; and WHEREAS, many of these advertising structures were not removed as required after the five-year amortiza- tion period expired in 1995, and remain in place today; and WHEREAS, in [sic] September 14, 2000, the City Commission authorized the appointment of an Outdoor App. 200 Advertising Review Committee to study issues and prob- lems relating to sign regulations, enforcement, and the proliferation of outdoor advertising billboards in the City; and WHEREAS, most members of the Review Com- mittee were associated with the outdoor advertising industry, and thus the recommendations of the Review Committee suggested permitting more billboards of an even greater size in districts, without addressing issues of aesthetics and over-proliferation; and WHEREAS, the City planning and zoning staff found the recommendations of the Review Committee to be not in the best interests of the City, and therefore issued their own recommendations; and WHEREAS, in May, 2001, the commission directed the Manager to schedule a public meeting in which City management and billboard industry would review en- forcement history and document any technical issues regarding billboard compliance and bring back recommen- dations to the Commission; and WHEREAS, at the City Commission meeting of July 10, 2001, the Neighborhood Enhancement Team (“NET”) provided a comprehensive report to the City Commission regarding the status of outdoor advertising signs in the City of Miami; and WHEREAS, NET has determined that certain outdoor advertising signs in the City do not conform with provi- sions of the City of Miami Zoning Ordinance, as amended; and WHEREAS, the City Commission has determined to enforce its sign regulations, and to enforce the removal of App. 201 all illegal signs, including those non-conforming signs whose amortization period has expired; anc WHEREAS, in response to litigation and other threats made by the outdoor advertising industry and to codify the City’s interpretation of its zoning ordinance with respect to signage, specifically that noncommercial messages have always been allowed to be placed in lieu of commercial messages on any sign allowed, the City Commission has determined to adopt a comprehensive, amended sign code addressing certain legal issues and reflecting recommen- dations made by the planning and zoning staff, including the prohibition on additional billboards in certain districts of the City to reduce visual clutter and blight; and WHEREAS, the Commission has again made clear its continued intent to permit non-commercial messages on any sign or sign structure otherwise permitted by those sign regulations, and has also made clear its intent that these regulations be severable in the event of further legal challenges; and WHEREAS, the City Commission wishes to institute a mechanism by which certain existing outdoor advertising signs located in the C-2 District and not along any portion of the interstate or federal-aid highway system may remain, provided: (1) such signs are legal as of the date of the adoption of this Ordinance, and (2) such signs obtain [sic] within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the expiration of the five (5) year amortization period specified herein, a Class II Special Permit and pay mitigation fees, such mitigation fees to be deposited into a trust fund, as specified herein, in order to provide a funding source to implement certain mitigation measures that will offset the negative visual impact of outdoor advertising signs; and App. 202 WHEREAS, the City Commission has determined that outdoor advertising businesses on private property shall require independent review, must be properly li- censed, and shall not be allowed as a use of land in certain districts; and WHEREAS, the Miami Planning Advisory Board, at its meeting of February 6, 2002, Item No. 1, fullowing an advertised hearing, adopted Resolution No. PAB-10-02, by a vote of six to zero (6-0), recommending approval (with modifications pertaining to xeriscape landscaping and increasing the size of real estate signs) of amending Zoning Ordinance 11000 as hereinafter set forth; and WHEREAS, notwithstanding the recommendations for modifications from the Planning Advisory Board, the Planning and Zoning Department recommend that the modification pertaining to real estate signs not be incorpo- rated into this amendment; and WHEREAS, the City Commission, after careful consideration of the matter, deems it advisable and in the best interest of the general welfare of the City of Miami and its inhabitants to amend Ordinances [sic] No. 11000 as hereinafter set forth; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA: Section 1.
