or stand, shall be prohibited.
(2) Number and area li titatifta:
(a) pot signs erected with their highest pot-
tions below a height of fifteen (15)
feet ab_ove., dub fa)timuM sign allotfient

tion of at least nine (9).feet above grade.

(a) The overall sign impact) Site, Shape, tek
turd, Method of a't-taohmeht, oalor, and light-
ing tho1 ld be in to lationship to the build-
ing Where it Will be lnfitalled and the street
from which it Will be seen.
(b) The sign should adhere to or enhance sight
lines both parallel and perpendicular to side-
walks. The primary reference Will be orien-
ted to the average pedestrian eye level view,
although VieWs into or down the street from
adjacent buildings should be considered,
Types:
(1) Plat Wall signs are the preferred, Method
of signing, as they, generally comple-
ment and can be integrated with the
architecture better than projecting signs..
A projecting double-faced sign of modest
size, if designed appropriately, can
provide a point of reference and infor-
mation without adding to visual clutter
or distraction.
(3) Special symbolic or three-dimensional
signs such as a shot or a fish, or a
shaving mug are generally acceptable,
provided they meet other sign guidelines.
These signs can add special character
to the district and reduce redundant
graphics.
(4) Painted wall signs, where found permis-
sible, should be placed near the first
door facade and must be proportionate
to that facade respecting the integ-
rity of the architecture and be designer)
integral with the architectural facade.
Size The size of any sign should respect
the integrity .of the building's design and
the buildings in the immediate vicinity.
If possible, the sign should also reflect
the character and use within the structure.
In general, the sightlines and scale of the
pedestrian should gauge the size, location,
and type of sign. Since the district is
predominantly pedestrian oriented and, in
that context, the emphasis will be on the
pedestrian scale in preference to the motor-
ist and the resultant scale of perception,

Sign t,odatioh: No sigh shotild be placed on
a structure so that it Wi..1 disfigure or
doNceal architectural fea".ores or details
the structure.
(f) Materials such as Wood, Wrought iron, steel,
Metal griilWork, should be carefully sel-
ected With consideration for compatibility
With architectural features and other bta31d'
ing materials. Simplicity and restraint in
material selection is important.
The sign attachment should reflect the arch-
itectural integrity of the structure and
relate to or become an extension of the arch-
itecture, for example: Signs utilizing an
archway should reflect the archway in their
configuration. Projecting sighs not an
integral feature of an arcade or facadeshould
appear as a separate entity from the structure'
by creating a space between the sign itself
and the building, to separate the sign from
the facade.
(h) Signs lighted from indirect sources are gen-
erally preferrable to back -lit signs of the
flourescent type; or exposed neon tubing.
Section 2. All ordinances, code sections, or parts
thereof in conflict herewith, insofar as they are in conflict,
:ire , hereby repealed.
Section 3. If any section, sentence, clause, phrase.
,)r word of this ordinance is for any reason held or declaredto

idity shall not affect the remaining portions of this ordinance;

sion of the City of Miami to pass this ordinance without such
unconstitutional, invalid, or inoperative part therein;
remainder ofthis ordinance, after the exclusion of such part
or parts shall be deemed and held to be valid as if such parts
had not been included therein.

Mr. MCManrii: Item 6 represents no change from the action that
this Board took last June.
Mrs. Rockafellar: In other words, Mr. McManus, we can just
call for a motion?
Mr.a. Alexander: However, it is a Public Hearing and someone
may want to be heard.
Mrs. Rockafellar: Well we passed this before and it is just
a repetition. They were heard on the first time around. Is it
necessary to open this up?
Mr. McManus: This is a Public Hearing if anyone wishes to
speak.
Mrs. Rockafellar: Is there anyone here wishing to testify?
Mr. Fishko: I would like to ask a question. In Section
(2)(b) which refers to 'signs erected with their highest portions at
or above fifteen (15) feet above curb level' which obviously would
include the sign we have on top of our building and has been there
for years, the only thing that's permitted there would be 'owner -
identification signs designating the name of the building and/or
the name and nature of establishments therein.'
If you could give me an opinion which would tell me that it
would be okay for us to put the name of our attraction on that sign
as we have for years -
Mr. Luft: Sure.
Mr. Fishko: Sure? Thank you very much.
Mrs. Alexander: It's grandfathered.
Mrs. Rockefeller: Is there anyone else wishing to speak for
or against it? Being none, we'll close the Public Hearing and we're
now ready for a motion.
Mrs. Alexander: Mme. Chairman, I move we recommend to the
City Commission the proposal by the Department to amend Ordinance 6871,
the City of Miami Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance by amending
ARTICLE XXIV, SIGNS, to provide sign regulation for the proposed
C-27 , SPECIAL COMMUNITY commERcIAL District.

(3) General Guidelines
(NEXT PAGE)
(a)
(b)
The overall sign impact, size, shape, texture,
method or attachment, color and lighting should
be in relationship to the building where it will
be installed and the street from which it will
be seen.
The sign should adhere to or enhance sight lines
both parallel and perpendicular to sidewalks.
The primary reference will be oriented to the
average pedestrian eye level view, although views
into or down the street from adjacent buildings
should be considered.
(c) Types:
1. Flat wall signs are the preferred method of
signing, as they generally complement and
can be integrated with the architecture
better than projecting signs.
2. A projecting double faced sign of modest
size, if designed appropriately, can
provide a point of reference and information
without adding to visual clutter or
distraction.
3. Special symbolic or three dimensional signs
such as a shoe or a fish or a shaving mug
are generally acceptable, provided they
meet other sign guidelines. These signs
can add special character to the district
and reduce redundant graphics.

Painted wall signs, where found permissabie,
should be :placed near the first door facade
and must b4 proportionate to that facade
respecting the intefrity of the architecture
and be designed integral with the
architectural facade.
Size: the size of any sign should respect the
integrity of the building's design and the
buildings in the immediate vicin:.ty. :tf possible,
the,sign should also reflect the character and
use within the structure. In general., the
dightlines and scale of pedestrian should gauge
the size, location. and type of a sign. Since
the district is predominantly pedestrian
oriented and, in that context, the emphasis will
be on the pedestrian scale in preference to the
motorist and the resultant scale of perception.
Sign Location: No sign should be placed on a
structure so that it will disfigure or conceal
architectural features or details of the
structure.
Materials such as wood, wrought iron, steel,
metal grillwork, should be carefully selected
with consideration for compatibility with
architectural features and other building
materials. Simplicity and restrain in material
selection is important.
The sign attachment should reflect the
architectural integrity of the structure and
relate t, or become an extension of the
architecture. For example, signs utilizing an
archway should reflect the archway in their
configuration. Projecting signs not an integral
feature of an arcade or facade should appear as
as separate entity from the structure by creating
a space between the sign itself and the building,
to separate the sign from the facade.
Signs lighted from indirect sources are
generally preferrable to back -lit signs of the
fluorescent type, or exposed neon tubing.
