    Nectarios Pittos

    Thank you, Mr. Chairman M77 is PDE 250003. This is an ordinance by the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners amending the Pasco County Land Development Code Section 204.

    Section 304.2.d, public notice, section 305.2.b, neighborhood Meeting, coordination, and notice, Section 307, continuance procedures, Section 310, Performance Security, Section 311, Defect Security. Section 403.5, construction plans. Section 406-106B1 and 3, temporary signs. Section 406-194A, additional standards for permanent signs in residential districts. Section 406-110B,

    providing for applicability repealer, providing for several inclusion into the land development code and an effective date. This is the uh first hearing uh and the board is requested to accept public comment. Uh the second hearing will be held on November twelfth at one thirty P. M. in Dade City. We have a uh presentation that's so desired. Uh I presume. So this is Land Development Code Amendment number seventy four. It's proposed amendments were presented to the horizontal

    round table. and interested parties on September eighteenth of twenty twenty four. And the LPA found the proposed amendments consistent with the comprehensive plan on September 19, 2024.

    Because I can't see the screen from that far.

    Um I'll walk through each of the amendments very briefly. Um they are fairly straightforward, all of them in Chapter 200. Uh we add provisions if a Planning Commission member's term expires, the member shall remain on the PC on the Planning Commission until such time as a new appointment is made. Um chapter three hundred in procedures. We clarified that posted sign is to meet the specifications in the development manual. This item as well as the next two items are referring to the public hearing uh notice

    signs. um that we talked that we've talked about previously. Um Chapter 300 clarifies the Post Assigned to Me Specification Development Manual. Um Chapter 300 Procedures, Section 310 Performance Security. We add a clarifying language to the section to make it internally consistent. Chapter 300 Procedures in the in Section 311 Defects Security. We added language to the section again for internal consistency. Uh no changes were made in the Chapter 400 permit types and

    applications. Um section 403.5. In Chapter 400, permit type and applications. In section 406.13, prohibited signs, we clarify that signs having characteristics of Snipe signs are not necessarily prohibited as Snipe signs. Chapter 400, permit types and applications. We provided for the allowance of additional temporary signs 30 days prior to an election and removes the prohibition of double-faced signs. Uh Chapter 400 permit types and applications provides for

    the allowance of an architectural top feature for ground science. Uh similar to the allowance in non-residential districts. Uh Chapter 400 permit types and applications, 406-110B. Ground signs, it clarifies that top features are architectural and considered part of the sign structure when calculating sign height.

    Uh in Chapter 400, 40610 C2 Signs Wall Signs, we removed sidewalls from disallowance of projection for wall signs. In Chapter 400-406-110-E regulations for marquee canopy and awning signs, it clarified that signs above canopies are not considered roof signs. In Chapter uh ten hundred, miscellaneous structure regulations We add language that chain link, welded wire, or similar fences and gates are allowed on industrial zone properties if they are vinyl

    coated with a color that blends into the adjacent landscaping per the direction of the Board of County Commissioners on June eighteenth, twenty twenty four.

    Seth Weightman

    Excuse me, Terry. Chairman Mariano. May I? To th to this section, Terry, which is why when we brought this up to make this change understand for the type of fences on industrial. If you look all around Pasco County right now. You've seen the vinyl PVC fence is blown out, looks like a a toothless smile. is what these look at. And if you go by and you look at the industrial properties and other commercial style properties, it has kept their work and their products safely and more securely in

    their on their property, in their workspace. So that's why I think it's important that you know chain link is approved and usable on these industrial zonings and you know, some commercial sites. So anyway, uh just real life example and appreciate this change. Yes sir.

    Jack Mariano

    Mr. Chairman Mariano's bring you bring that up in so many vinyl things are just like thrown everywhere look like Crap and will for a while. So and I and I like the color part. And You know, whether it be black, green, or whatever it may be. How how would you feel if we then looked at changing what's along the arterials as well?

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    I'd be a against that. I

    Jack Mariano

    I knew

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    that, but I was

    Jack Mariano

    talking to

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    him.

    Seth Weightman

    My my question, I'm I'm all for practical common sense application, right? Not just necessarily what something looks like. And vinyl fences are weak.

    in normal rainstorms and they become a hazard. They're dangerous. And I almost think that needs to be on a we need to have a uh a a wiggle room in there depend on what the type of business is of what the appropriate style fence would be if they came in and asked a variant say, hey, this is my type of business. Vina will not be secure, we take a look at it and then we could agree to put Chain links or you know,

    masonry something like they used to.

    Other than. So I'm I'm not a I'm not opposed. I'm all for, you know, common sense practical solutions here that that don't break the bank either.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    So uh the other application that they can use, because I don't think we should be lining our arterial roads with chain link fence, um, is vertical metal fencing. Which is what they do everywhere else. um where they don't allow chain link on their main roads. And that is very safe. Frankly, that's what I would have gone for. um in a l in a lot of places. I tried to do that with the school district when I was on there and that's what Tampa does around their schools. is vertical and I I showed what that looks like. It's not that much more. Um

    I I kinda agree with you on the vinyl fences that we're letting all these developers put up. Back in the day before we had all that, they all did masonry fences. If you look at a lo along Starkey Boulevard on a longleaf, it's all it's all it's all masonry. It's either brick or or concrete block. And the vinyl fences in my mind don't hold up. They get dirty. You go to clean 'em, you ruin them. They're a problem. So Uh but I wouldn't I I I'm o I'm okay. I I bent on the industrial for

    chain link as long as it's coded. But you can't do that on on the other kind of businesses.

    Lisa Yeager

    And what was it you suggested?

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Vertical. Maybe you can show a picture of what a decorative a vertical metal fence looks like. It's where the the rods go they're usually um s square and they're tall. And frankly, they're much more than that. Yeah. They're much more secure, security wise, than a chain link fence because chain link fence you just put one foot in and hop over. Yeah. Yeah. With a vertical metal fence you c it's much harder to climb over and has a lot more security. Yeah. Well

    those are Those are um There you go. That. Mm-hmm. Yeah, and that's a fine alternative.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Mm-hmm. So what's the procedure and

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Well I are as he done well they can they can do that already. They can put so that so We're changing to allow chain link for industrial

    And c a commercial can use that metal.

    But most most commercials don't even put up with fence, really. Very rarely does a commercial Put up a pencil.

    Right now, Terry, d nothing precludes a commercial from putting up a vertical

    I if we miss that then we should uh make sure they're allowed to put that kind of fence.

    Nectarios Pittos

    I don't believe so, but I'd have to go back and check. D to be fully clear on that.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Are you looking for an option or are you looking for a prohibition? So uh and so If you're looking to move to the to that style fence along the arterials, They're gonna make a they're gonna have to make a change to the the code. If it's just an option I would think that they ha it's a fence, so right. They have the ability to to do that right now. Although we can clarify that between the first and the second hearing.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Here we'll get an answer.

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    Hi Brad Tippen. Uh we have code currently that says chain link fence cannot be visible from the Wrights Way. So this is actually allowing chain link fence as long as it is coded. uh in the industrial areas, but it doesn't supersede the other code requirement outside of the industrial areas and they are allowed to use any of the other metal types of fences that they want to use.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Okay. So with that. This is not chain link.

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    No. Correct. No, I was just saying that's how the two things kind of interplay and overlap. The the chain link would be allowed by this as long as it's the coded type in the industrial parcels, but it would not be allowed within visibility of the right-of-way in other areas of the county that are not industrial parcels. They could still use the vertical metal and other decorative metal styles of fence.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Okay. Brad, before you leave it. Is there a Another option uh I don't know what the state of the technology is. Vinyl coded was Historically all you could do Do they now have A different way to color chainly? I just don't want to If it's a powder coated, let's say. I

    don't know if that's possible or that's even cheaper. I don't want to

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    say coded. I don't want to paint on it.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    I just didn't know whether you I

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    don't know, paint

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    more.

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    I believe the most common is the vinyl coded. Um There is always an abil you can powder coat anything uh in a color, but it also will uh chip and show wear uh over time so it doesn't it doesn't end up as as long lasting as the vinyl coating. There are other options Um if you wanted to say color colored to match the environment instead of vinyl coded, maybe that would work, but or using vinyl coding or a similar means, we can we can work with that kind of

    kind of language and maybe tweak something.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    I I'm fine with black, brown or green. After that. I don't want any red or orange or no. You don't want blaze orange? No. Maybe maybe garnet, maybe gold.

    Ron OakleyChair

    I don't see nothing wrong with

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    it.

    But can this

    Ron OakleyChair

    be done? Can this be done without

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    It's already there. That's what he's saying. It's it's already there. Yeah, it's already there. So we're

    Nectarios Pittos

    thinking we're

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    We're fine.

    Jack Mariano

    Um Hang on, m Mr. Chairman Mariano. So I'm okay with putting the word colored in there. You could revinal coded or colored. But

    Yeah. Might hurt you. I don't know if you want to get into the specific colors, but I think it just colored makes it look better, one way or the other.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    I don't know if there is powder coated vinyl.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Well it wouldn't be vinyl. It would it

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    would be I mean powder coated metal.

    Ron OakleyChair

    It would be metal, yes, they do that.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Why?

    I I don't think we should do that.

    Ron OakleyChair

    When it breaks?

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    I think it'll be a I think it'll look bad really quickly.

    Ron OakleyChair

    I think they'll be able to work through it. So we're okay with the language as is. I think

    Ron OakleyChair

    so. If it's in there then we're okay. Just Everybody knows that That's what we need to be asking for.

    Seth Weightman

    Chairman Mariano. So the switch, Commissioner Oakley Bullard. What's your language specifically?

    Jack Mariano

    It would be or colored. Vinyl coded or colored.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Brad, is there such a thing?

    I mean are we gonna have people standing there spray painting their fences? So yeah, I that that may be the the issue is you might have

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    to do it jobs, but I don't

    Seth Weightman

    know how economical that would be. That's all I think.

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    In this situation we always have the alternative standard process that if somebody does come in with a different idea as to how they wanna do it, we can we can work through that process and get that approved as long as we know the intent is to have that color there. It can be something other than vinyl, we can we can work with that too.

    Ron OakleyChair

    So through staff we can get that accomplished. Okay. That's good to hear.

    All right. Um Is there anything else you gotta read or because I got a person to speak to this item?

    Nectarios Pittos

    Just two more things, three more things. Uh Chapter 12, Hunter Nonconformities, we clarified when a nonconforming sign and sign structure is to be removed, and added allowances of multi-occupancy owners to enter into agreements with for future removal of nonconforming signs so that tenants may apply in the interim for permanent signage.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Oh good, that was in here. I'm glad we're fixing that. Yeah.

    Nectarios Pittos

    And then the last two amendments for Chapter 1300 concurrency mobility impact fee clarified the timing of the process for when the county I must it must be informed that a development will be a community or subdivision a Providing housing for persons who are fifty-five plus, fifty-five years of age, so a lot earlier in the process, for example. And then in Appendix A definitions, we modified the definition for canopy sign, marquee sign, and awning signs, and modify the definition of community residential homes in the actual

    definitions. Um

    The following slides are just the actual text amendment to themselves if you were if you were to care to peruse that. Um otherwise that's the complete set of amendments on this package.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Okay.

    Jack Mariano

    Chairman Mariano. Yes,

    Ron OakleyChair

    sir.

    Jack Mariano

    Would you go back to the part where you talk about the sign Uh dimensions were if you had a design outside with where the lettering was going to be that would be counted against the

    architectural architectural.

    Nectarios Pittos

    You want to see the actual language? Sure.

    Temporary sign. Okay. There we go.

    So the the actual language says each sign structure area shall not exceed ten feet in height and may contain an ornamental architectural top feature that is uh Sculptural or artistic in nature that exceeds the ten foot height limitation. The ornamental architectural top feature shall not exceed ten percent of the overall height of the sign structure and shall be considered part of the sign structure when calculating sign height.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    And that's for residential districts. Those are like subdivisions.

    Jack Mariano

    Yeah. I mean j I'm just thinking of let's say you were in a certain neighborhood, like I I'll give you an ex example. Fairway Oak just had their whole sign crushed over, I think, by the storm it looks like. Oh it is. Right. So it's falling over. They gotta they gotta redo it. The nice thing about the sign was they had a nice big sign with the lettering in there about it. And the brick was part of it, but if it's over that height and you're gonna take away their sign it takes away the thing. I think Trinity's done some gorgeous signs of the Florida Lee, et cetera, that look good with that extra little bit of height. I don't think it's a detriment of the Land Development Code. But I think it adds

    something to somebody's creative ability to make their sign look better than just a standard box. So I really want to penalize him for the right-of-way. Making it look nicer.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    The big ones are the ones that went down. Mind that. But

    Ron OakleyChair

    you have something to add to the right-of-way.

    Come forward.

    Denise

    Sorry, Denise Hernandez. Um, I just wanted to make a clarification to the section. So, Commissioner Mariano, the section that Terry read from, that is a section that already exists, which is in for ground signs for non-residential districts. If you look at the above section, 406.1.9, it now allows additional architectural features. Okay. So previous to that, you could not have an increase. Now it allows the actual sum. the sign to be taller because you now can act add this architectural feature on the top of the sign. So

    it gives them more flexibility and a taller sign potentially.

    Jack Mariano

    I like that.

    Denise

    We wanted to do we wanted to do this the residential section similar to the commercial section. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. All

    Jack Mariano

    right.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Do I have to take public comment?

    Ron OakleyChair

    Ron OakleyChair

    Okay. Is anyone else to speak this item?

    Madam Clerk

    No one else has signed us.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Does anyone in the audience wish to speak this item? CMO one? Mr. Jim? Yes.

    Jack Mariano

    I'd like to make one uh change um under section 406161. It's about the temporary signs, coming to display.

    And it's ask it it talks about right now as far as the timing goes. But it doesn't really address as far as and I think we're trying to put in political science here. But as far as a time for political science I should I think it should be like from day of qualification till five days after. And I think five days after probably could be ten.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Mine aren't getting picked up, I promise.

    Jack Mariano

    It just it just you know, doesn't have to make

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    it just takes time. So I'm trying to f get down to where the commissioner is referencing. Four oh six one what was the reference? One six and then one

    Jack Mariano

    Yeah.

    Right there.

    Ron OakleyChair

    So what part are you trying to change?

    Jack Mariano

    So i in in the midst where it's lined out, it talked about uh temporary political campaign signs may be posted nowhere than fifteen days prior to the date of the candidate qualification. The major should make it candidate qualification. It must be no later than five days. Uh they could put that line back in there but just make it from the date of qualification and then I would say even like ten days after election.

    Seth Weightman

    Temporary sound.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Unfortunately I pulled up the non-struck struck through version.

    Uh inside

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Is this for political science?

    Jack Mariano

    It was and then they crossed it out so you don't see it, but I wanna make sure w it it works with that 'cause the the way it's worded right here it doesn't deal with what we're we' w what we had going on. I think when you spoke to the right-of-way,

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    prior to an election. Okay.

    Seth Weightman

    I don't know why we wouldn't Why would you put out signs if you haven't qualified? So it says fifteen days prior to qualification.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    No, it should be after

    Jack Mariano

    yeah, or after qualification. Or at qualification. Yeah, I probably had day day of qualification, but or whatever verbiage.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    What does it mean four of said signs? Why isn't all of said signs shall be removed? Why off of there?

    Jack Mariano

    So you only want?

    But that's that could that could be a it could be a different sign on someone's property.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Well okay. Um

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Because you're you're not dealing with political signs. Okay. You're dealing with all temporary signs. So you can you can have one temporary sign

    in a non election cycle.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Okay, I I I understand that that work around. But no one's enforcing this, sadly. I I hope one day and maybe now we have someone in code who will help educate our code people that you can't have five five flapping signs on your property, you only can have one.

    David Engel

    I I just want to let the board know that um Ms. Hernandez is is here. She is our lead of our ordinance development team and could answer any questions pertaining to this work this item. Maybe she should

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    take out that becomes a Pond qualification.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Maybe if Denise comes up and explains that to us uh she has a good understanding of this ordinance, I believe.

    Denise

    Denise Hernandez, Co-Compliance Department. So uh what you're reading now, um Commissioner Mariano, the stricken area, that is what our um our item currently says, our code currently states. So that basically contemplated just having one sign. Obviously that doesn't make any sense with you know there's several candidates, there's parcels that are larger parcels, etc. So the way it cur it reads now what we are proposing is to have a temporary sign, each

    residential, non-residential, a vacant lot, um to have a up to a total of five temporary signs uh that are displayed on these lots. Um you know, pri immediately prior to an election. And then four of those signs have to go because you're only allowed as Commissioner Starkey was stating and um Our county attorney was also stating that you're only allowed one temporary sign per establishment. So there's going to be a period of time during the election where you will see a

    multitude of signs because remember we cannot tr we have to treat all signs the same way. We can't specifically state that these are the way we treat election signs, these these are the way we treat other types of signs. because of the Supreme Court decision that came down in 2015. So if you want to state the time prior

    Um prior to or at you know At the time of qualification we can We can state that, I suppose.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Yeah, I would prefer uh if you wanna play with a larger time frame in front of the election sixty days, ninety days, whatever. I that would be a better way to address it than to put the language back in about qualification. Okay. Because this is

    We are really trying to Walk the line with Reed. Um And not Have a content based

    Code provision. Um but we are creating an amnesty period in front of an election for other temporary signs, whatever they may say.

    Jack Mariano

    So what verbage do you want to put in?

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    So so if if you think thirty days is too small a period of time Uh I would go to sixty or ninety. Uh you can you can Probably not but understand that it may not just be political signs that show up during that amnesty period. It may be

    Banner signs, advertising, whatever. Um because we can't look at the content.

    Ron OakleyChair

    So we can't just limit one or the other, just have to all of match fit in the same

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    category. Right. All temporary signs are treated the same. However however long you want to allow that is the board's call.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Well, I mean you've got a primary. You got a primary, you've got signs already out. How long is it before the primary to the election? Yeah, so we get from June to August

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    for the primary. But you've got Yeah, so you've got that's an election. The primary would be an election, so there there's a it's a period of period for that. It's period of time. For that.

    Then it would be 'cause

    Lisa Yeager

    you don't take your signs down.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Right. Right. So It's sixty days between the between the primary and the And the general? So do it sixty days? So if you change that thirty to sixty, I think you you're covering the issue that I think you're looking at.

    Jack Mariano

    Okay. And I think if you put at day qualification as opposed to or no, is it just you want to leave that out completely?

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Yeah, we won't leave that out completely. So it it'll be it because the election primary or general is the election that would be the the thing that we would count from and then if the board is okay with sixty days in front of the election then that that

    Ron OakleyChair

    I think ten

    Jack Mariano

    days is a better amount of time to pick up the signs.

    Ron OakleyChair

    So that's your motion? That is your motion.

    Denise

    So for clarification, um it should say duration of sixty days immediately immediately prior to an election and then the removal is ten days after the election.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Perfect. Thank you. That's good. Okay. So I have a motion. So move.

    Madam Clerk
