preemption regarding the operation of a MFDV in FL municipalities. A municipality cannot
require a separate license, registration, or permit other than that required by the state or

Item No. _____
Subject:Ordinance No. XX-2020; Amending Chapter 94 Signs; providing for amendments to
electronic messaging signs; providing for amendments to Section 94-100 and Table 94-96-1 to
include sign requirements specifically for the Public/Recreation (PUB/REC) zoning district;
providing for the repeal of prior inconsistent ordinances and resolutions, incorporation into the
Code, severability, and an effective date.
Applicant/Owner:City of Cape Canaveral
Summary: From time-to-time, the City has updated its sign regulations to recognize current
industry best practices, regulatory needs of the City, as well as provide for the health, safety and
welfare of its residents. The most recent substantive change occurred in 2014, with the passage
of Ordinance No. 08-2014, which specifically provided for electronic signage.
The proposed ordinance amends regulations related to electronic signage as well as creates
standards for signage erected in the Public/Recreation (PUB/REC) zoning district.
Currently, the City Code limits an electronic sign to a maximum size of 32 square feet and it
must be incorporated into a monument or pylon sign. In addition, an electronic sign is limited
to the display of alphanumeric characters, which must have a minimum display time of four (4)
seconds.
The proposed ordinance will expand allowed content to include the display of static graphics
and images at intervals of no less than 8 seconds. In addition, electronic signs in the C-1, C-2,
and M-1 zoning districts may only be located along a major public thoroughfare or other high
capacity public roadway and shall not be installed within 100 feet of a residential property line.
In September of 2019, the Council established the PUB/REC zoning district to “provide for public
facilities and active recreation while preserving open space for enjoyment of nature.” As part of
the City’s administrative rezoning project currently underway, public facilities such as City Hall,
the City Wastewater Plant, Cherie Down Park, and the Cape Canaveral Public Library will be
rezoned to PUB/REC and any signage associated with these facilities will be subject to the
proposed sign regulations.
The proposed ordinance establishes sign standards for properties designated PUB/REC, such as
number of signs allowed, height, and maximum area (see Table 94-96-1). Similar to other zoning
districts in the City, wall murals are prohibited in the PUB/REC district unless approved by the
Community Appearance Board.
