WHEREAS, Monroe County and the Florida Keys have some of the
most unique and unusual scenery and natural vegetation at any
place in the world, and
WHEREAS, the natural beauty of Monroe County and the Florida
Keys is an attraction to many visitors that come to this County,
and
WHEREAS, the visitation by these tourists and other visitors
have a pronounced economic effect upon Monroe County and the
Florida Keys, and said impact reflects in a pronounced fashion to
the advantage of the citizens of this County and add to the tax
revenues for this County through tourists and user taxes, and
WHEREAS, the proliferation of Class "B" signs is having a
de1etorious effect upon the beauty and the natural scenery in
Monroe County, and by such proliferation has created an adverse
impact on the beauty and attraction of the Florida Keys and has
rendered, in the main, an incompatible aesthetic influence on the
Florida Keys as contrasted with the natural beauty of these Keys,
and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County,
after public hearings, has concluded that to continue to con-
struct and permit Class "B" signs at this time would only com-
pound the problems as are recited herein concerning the natural-
ness of the Florida Keys, now, therefore,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, as follows:
Section 1. A moratorium on Class B signs as defined in
Section 19-254(b) of the Monroe County Code, is established by
this ordinance, continuing the moratorium on Class B signs which
was established in Ordinance Number 014-1985. Said extension of
the moratorium shall be until September 20, 1986. Any and all
sign applications shall be withheld pending the termination of
this Ordinance and any and all other provisions of the Monroe
County Code relating to the issuance of such permits.
Section 2. That in the interim, the Monroe County
Commission and the staff will devote their attention toward the
restructuring of the provisions that control Class "B" signs in
an effort to structure laws and requirements for the issuance of
such signs compatible with the need therefor and taking into
account the impact upon the aesthetics and the natural beauties
of the Florida Keys.
Section 3. That this Ordinance is passed in the best
interest of the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of
Monroe County, and after a finding by the County Commission that
the best interest of the County and its citizens exceed the need
for any further Class "B" signs at this time.
Section 4. This Ordinance shall not apply to any proper
application for Class "B" signs presently pending and under
review before the enactment of Ordinance Number 014-1985.
Section 5. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause
or provision of this Ordinance is held invalid, the remainder of
this Ordinance shall not be affected by such invalidity.
Section 6. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in
conflict with this Ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of
said conflict.
Section 7. The provisions of this Ordinance shall be
included and incorporated in the Code of Ordinances of the County
of Honroe, Florida, as an addition or amendment thereto, and
