LEGAL DESCRIPTION PZO 19 SECOND READING PETITION Consideration of amending Ordinance 11000, as amended, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, by amending Article 9, Section 926.16. Limitations on onsite signs above a height of fifty (50) feet above grade, to allow institutional or corporate seals, or emblems, to be used as a means of building identification; further providing for regulations and limitations for such signs. PLANNING Approval. RECOMMENDATION BACKGROUND AND Please see attached analysis. ANALYSIS PLANNING ADVISORY BOARD Approval VOTE: 7-0 CITY COMMISSION Passed First Reading on CC 4/25/96. APPLICATION NUMBER 94-241 March 20, 1996 04/01/96 Item # 6 Page 1 11376 ANALYSIS FOR AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE 9, SECTION 926.16., OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO AMEND EXISTING SIGNAGE REGULATIONS The attached amendment to Article 9, Section 926.16. "Limitations on onsite signs above a height of fifty (50) feet above grade" seeks to allow corporate and institutional seals and emblems as a means of building identification, and further provide regulations and limitations for such signs. Section 926.16. functions presently as the sole regulatory provision for signs to be erected above a height of fifty (50) feet above grade. This section, as it presently reads, does not allow emblems, seals or crests to be implemented as a means of building identification. This proposal seeks to leave this option open while setting forth guidelines to regulate their implementation. It is felt that emblems and seals, both corporate and institutional, often have an ornamental character that text -only signs lack. Additionally, certain uses are more readily identified by their emblems than by text or graphic logotype. All such emblems or seals proposed at heights above fifty (50) feet would undergo Class II Special Permit review with compulsory referral to the City of Miami Urban Development Review Board. This review process would insure that proposals of this sort would be evaluated individually on their own merit and approved subject to conditions and/or limitations as deemed applicable by all reviewing boards, departments, agencies and officers. 3 1i76 RESOLUTION PAB - 18-96 A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AMENDING THE TEXT OF ORDINANCE 11000, THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MIAMI, BY AMENDING ARTICLE 9, SECTION 926.16.
