BACKGROUND During the last election, one of the candidates filed for an injunction before the Circuit Court to restrain the City from enforcing the provisions of Zoning Ordinance 9500, Section 2025.3.11 which_ banned temporary political campaign, signs in residential districts. The Court granted the injunction because of the constitutional questions involved i.e., first amendment rights. In furtherance of the Court's decision, the Lair Department issued a legal opinion dated October 26, 1983 (attached). Representatives of the Planning, Law, Public Works and Zoning Boards Administration and Fire, Rescue and Inspection Services Departments then discussed certain amendments based on the parameters in the Law Department's legal opinion and their counsel. The Planning Department than recommended amendment "K', which was recommended by the Planning Advisory Board unanimously on April 14 and July 18, 1984. The City Commission continued amendment "V on June'. 28, September 20, October 25, November 15, and December 20, 1984. Amendment "K" died, per the 90 day rule, on January 24, 1985. Per Motion 85-441; April 18, 1985 the Commission directed the administration to take up Amendment "V again. ANALYSIS According to these amendments, temporary political,'-"." campaign signs would be allowed in all zoning districts, without sign permits, as follows: t 1. In residential districts: the maximum size or a sign would a 4 square feet-, maximum or 3 square Teet aggregate per site;•'and the maximum' neight wou e 4 feet above grade. 2• In commercial and industrial districts, e- etg an area o .I gns_are I iml o the height and 1/2 OF, eree o o. si signs permitted in the district, Sign vehicles are limited to 15 hours per day lu te''from the base buiTU-n-97THe-7- PA6,5115185 Item #2 Rage Z 10020 '" a I w i 3. All such signs _must conform to the South F1 on da i3u� g i ng o e an vision cl earan e requiremen ts at street corners an driveways. 4. No signs shall be installed until a candi date has qua I i tied for a particular MUM on and must a removed within 3 days after the conclusion o e par icu ar election. 5. The candidate, property owner and/or tenant is response 0 1 a or the sa e y of the sign and for prompt removal. 6. There will be no prior administrative -- restraint on temporary political signs —By — reason er permits, lists, performance bonds or refundable fees; rather, enforcement will occur only by reason of a) complaints received From the public an b) inspectors citations in the ordinary course of rieff inspections. These amendments achieve a balancing of competing interests: First Amendment rights to freedom of expression under the United States Constitution vs the desire to preserve the tranquility 5T residential neighborhoods. On the one hand, the provision for temporary political campaign signs in residential districts and absence of prior. administrative restraints serve to protect First Amendment rights. On the other hand, the restrictions proposed as the size and numberof temporary political campaign signs are considered to be the minimum necessary in order: _ To preserve neighborhood tranquility. The unregulated proliferation of -temporary political campaign signs would result in visual clutter which would undermine the integrity of residential neighborhoods, depriving residential property owners of the tranquility they sought when purchasing their homes, To preserve aesthetic values. TemporaV po i ca _ oampa► gn __st gns are not usually, their nature, aestheti c411y pleasing to the eye. The size restrictions proposed will serveto reduce the aesthetic imp4ct and visual blight of these signs.

Nothing in the Court decision or the Law Department's legal opinion affects the existing prohibition against political signs in pubiiF rig s-o -way i y Code ections-37-56; 54-8 and 54-9 attached) .

Signs located on public property are regulated by City Code Sections 37-56, 54-8, and 54-9. Regulation of signs on private property falls within the purview of Ordinance No. 9500, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami (hereinafter "Zoning Code") . Additional regulation of signs on certain public property comes .under provisions of the Florida Statutes and the Code of Metropolitan Dade County. Additional regulation is provided in the City by the South Florida Building Code which regulates the erection of "structures" of any kind within the City. See, Miami, Fla., Ordinance 6141 (March 19, 1958). PRIVATE PROPERTY As a consequence of a lawsuit by a candidate in 1983, the City was permanently enjoined from enforcing provisions of its Zoning Code which required sign permits for political signs over fifteen square feet in non-residential zoning districts. Provisions of the Zoning Code which also prohibited political signs in residential districts were, also struck down in the same court order. It should be noted that at the time of that court action the Zoning Code also banned politicalcampaign signs in districts other " than residential. Specifically, ground or free-standing signs" in the SPI-2 and SP I-7 zoning districts were also prohibited, thereby drawing "political signs" into the prohibited ambit as well, An extension of the Court's reasoning in its decision to strike dawn the City's total ban on political signs in residential districts leads this Office to conclude that the aforementioned provisions are also questionable inasmuch as they equate to a nearly total prohibition on political signs in those districts. 00IR EQ 2 The Honorable Miller d. Dawkins May 23, 1985 City Cotntnissio.Cter Pane 2 MIA-85-39 political Sign Regulation within the City Permits for erection of political signs are still required once the size of -such sign exceeds the threshold for regulation for all types of signs by the South Florida Building.Code. Presently said Code requires permits for all signs exceeding 24 square feet in area. The South Florida Building Code 54203.2(d) (1984). Prior to the Court's action, all signs, with the exception of community or neighborhood bulletin boards or kiosks, were prohibited in SPI-2, SPI-7, and -residential districts, and restricted to specific forms in the SPI-6 District. As I have previously indicated, an extension of the Court's reasoning invalidates those provisions as well. Consequently, a person or organization may currently erect political signs anywhere in the City on private property without payment of a permit fee unless the sign exceeds 24 square feet in size. The size limitation on signs in general will also apply to political signs in the affected or underlying districts unless and until the Commission adopts regulation to the contrary. There are, however, no specific regulations on the size of political signs in residential districts inasmuch as they were not allowed before, and the Commission has not acted subsequent to the Court's'action to fill the void created by the Court. Hence, political signs are unregulated under the 24 sq. foot threshold. The court's action had no impact on regulations other than striking permitted fees for signs under 24 square feet in non- residential districts. As previously mentioned, the affected SPI ! Districts will be regulated by the sign regulations for the E underlying district, all of which will now permit political signs in varying sizes. PUBLIC PROPERTY The placement of political signs on public property is regulated, inter alia, by the following Miami City Code Sections: 1) It shall be unlawful to place political advertisements, handbills or snipe signs or billboards on City -owned property and trash receptacles placed upon City streets and sidewalks. Miami, Fla., Code S37-56 (emphasis added). 2) It shall be unlawful to use any portion of a street or sidewalk in the City for advertisement or display purposes. Mimi., Fla-, Code 554-8, BLEW1 3 ' S j The honorable Miller a.

Miami, Fla., Code 554-9. Under the aforementioned provisions, qround or free-standing signs and most attachable political signs are legally prohibited on public property. Florida Statutes provide that no political sign shall be located upon the right-of-way of any highway on the State Highway System, "...highway system, or federal -aid primary highway system." Fla. Stat. S479.11(8) (1984 Supp.) The County Code is silent as to placement of political signs. It dwells on the placement of "commercial signs." See Metropolitan Dade County Code, §24-23.1. On the other hand,' no signs of any kind may be erected within the right-of-way of the Metrorail or People Mover System without prior authority of the County. Id. at 530B- 5(6). CONCLUSION Political signs are now permissible in all zoning districts of the City of Miami' without payment of a permit fee unless such sign is in excess of 24 square feet in area. Their size and placement, absent further legislative action by the City Commission, is regulated by provisions of the underlining zoning district pertaining to signs in general without special attention to political signs. Political signs are generally prohibited on public property. PREPARED AND APPROVED BY: 49.

Garcia -Pedrosa City Attorney RCFtRENCES• Your letter of October 21, 19^= ' ENCLOSURES: This is in response to your request for a legal opinion on substantially the following question: WHETHER THE PROVISIONS -OF THE CITY'S ZONING ORDINANCE (§2025.3.11) BANNING TEMPORARY POLITICAL SIGNS IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS, AND REQUIRING PERMITS FOR TEMPORARY POLITICAL SIGNS EXCEEDING 15 SQUARE FEET IN NON- RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS ARE CONSTITUTIONAL. I answer your first question in the negative: The City may regulate, but not ban political signs in residential districts. The answer to you-r second question depends upon the facts and circumstances of each case. Section 2025.3.11 of Ordinance No. 9500 provides as follows: No sign permit shall be required for temporary campaign signs displayed on private property, in non-residential districts, not exceeding fifteen (15) square feet in sign surface area, 1 and used in connection with political campaigns or civic non-commercial health, safety, or welfare compaignsf ,• provided that all such signs shall exhibit' the date of the conclusion of the campaign and shall be removed within three (3) days thereafter. No political cam sign sign shall be erected :i an residential district. mph4 _ i; ad b A City zoning ordinance is presumed to be valid so s proper function of local government and will withstand constitutional 0020 a 'k ate fi �.... rb`it a , a :..' ...r3. n�:..,rn,�lt. .. _ wl�+�'�� M!�pIrMII�VYrs+1d� -• 'i', `'fs'i+is�s .. .., .a 5a:�ini• 's`•:ia+�C:st� t.w++s,: .,,��.csF++sit,,,�t: ��c..: jib. a'YA./r'x4�•►si'�.��a��4'1;�:"�?ta .��iaYi�•r `I'j3�';C�ir� +� .,+i'.t �'�.,.

Permits may generally be required under zoning ordinances for the commencement and conduct of certain activities and are used as administrative devices, subject to uniform standards, and devoid of arbitrariness. Mcquillin, Municipal Coroorations, §25.147. Moreover, a charge .or fee commonly imposed in connection. with the issuance of a permit may be deemed valid if it bears a reasonable relation to and an approximation of the cost of issuing the permit. Id. The requirement of a permit, taken alone, does not appear to be constitutionally offensive. However, where a permit fee is imposed, the burden may be so great as to inhibit the means of expression through the use of temporary political campaign signs. Where the fee bears no relationship to the cost of administration or inspection, it will be regarded as an "unconstitutional tax upon the exercise of First Amendment rights". Baldwin, supra, at 1371. The court in Baldwin invalidated a provision requiring at $1.00 inspection fee and a $5.00 removal charge deposit for the erection of temporary political campaign sig-ns, finding that neither the inspection cost nor the removal charge bore a reasonable relationship to the cost. The court further found the City of Redwood's permit system to be unnecessarily burdensome and arbitrary. The court noted: In some circumstances a City may both require a permit for activity involving free express sion without violating the First Amendment and also collect fees that fairlyreflect costs incurred by the City in connection with such activity. Id. at 1372. In light of Baldwin, the permit system provided for in §2025.3.11 with respect to temporary political campaign signs in excess of 15 square feet could be regarded as unnecessarily burdensome, particularly if the differentials based on size are not related to cost differentials. Each ease must, however, be. decided on its particular facts and circumstances, and I lack sufficient information concerning the cost of administration and inspection to make that determination in this case.

The District Court granted the city's motion for summary judgment. concluding that the ordinance was constitu- tional. The Court of Appeals reversed, ruling that the ordinance was presumptively unconstitutional because significant First Amendment inter• ests were involved and that the city had failed to make a sufficient showing that its °asserted interests in esthetics and in preventing visual clutter were - sufficiently substantial to justify its total ban (682 F2d 847). On appeal. the United States Supreme Court reversed and remanded.In an opinion by Staysrra. J.. joined by $vacs. Ch. J.. and Warts.

McRae said he has been using doctor•preseribed painkillers for stomach and mouth problems, but didn't take any on the day of the accident. Toxicolo- gist Hall said his laboratory tests could not have mis- takenly identified traces of prescription drugs as co- caine and marijuana. "There is no possibility," he said. McRae said he was unable to stop his train from slamming Into the back of another because of faulty brakes and safety equipment malfunctions, though he admitted that the train's electronic anti -collision sys- tem had been deliberately turned off. He also com- plained that he wasn't told by Metrorail's control cen- ter that he was fast approaching another train.
