Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page- for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and
supplementation many pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user
to determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of
each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second
column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an
up -to -date volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted
in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code.
When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this
column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed on
the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used
in compiling an up -to -date copy from the original Code and subsequent
Supplements.

All powers and duties of the city specified in

are vested in the city council. The city council is
composed of five members who are elected at
large by the registered electors of the city. Two
members are elected each year to three -year
terms, except on every third year only one mem-
ber, who is also the mayor, is elected to a three -
year term. Further, should any general election
include the election of a council person due to a
vacancy in that office pursuant to article III,
section 4, of the Charter, then the unexpired term
shall be filled by the candidate receiving the third
greatest number of votes, or the second greatest
number of votes in third year elections involving
only the mayor. Should more than one vacancy be
filled at the election, then those receiving the
greatest number of votes shall be declared elected
for the longest terms.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
the quality of life and civic pride of all people who
reside, work, vacation, or spend time in Cape
Canaveral.
(c) The facilitator of this effort shall be the
community appearance board whose primary pur-
pose shall be to encourage uniform architectural
standards and cohesive community development
consistent with the intent and purpose of this
article.

entire community. Consequently, the ultimate de-
signers and developers of buildings and struc-
tures must be informed of the larger context in
which their particular works will be viewed within
the community. The task of the community ap-
pearance board shall be to provide a mechanism
by which proposed new development and modifi-
cations or rehabilitations (of buildings and struc-
tures) can be reviewed and approved, in a uniform
manner, so as to be in harmony with the compre-
hensive architecturally related policies, objectives
and standards adopted by Cape Canaveral for the
overall betterment of the community.
(e) It is recognized by the Florida Supreme
Court that zoning solely for aesthetic purposes is
not outside the scope of the police power of mu-
nicipal governments, like Cape Canaveral. It has
also been judicially recognized in Florida (and in
other jurisdictions) that the promotion of aes-
thetic beauty also protects property values, tour-
ism, and other economic interests which Cape
Canaveral deems vital to the community.
(f) Zoning is the single most powerful legal
enforcement of an overall urban concept, but
alone it does not create beauty, aesthetic order, or
amenity. The task of the community appearance
board shall be to preserve various elements of
urban beauty and require that new projects being
developed enhance existing development and the
landscape of the community.
(g) The essential foundation of beauty in com-
munities is harmony. The plan for achieving beauty
must grow out of out special local characteristics
of site, development and redevelopment potential.
Supp. No. 18
§ 22 -39
Some local areas of natural beauty are the beaches,
ocean and the Banana River. The vistas and
visual delight of these should only be enhanced.

(a) Area. The permitted area of ground signs in
all zoning districts, and unless otherwise speci-
fied in this chapter, is dependent on street front-
age of the property on the basis of one square foot
of sign area for each lineal foot of property front-
age up to the maximum specified in each zoning
district. Wall signs shall be computed on the basis
of one square foot of sign area for each lineal foot
of building or tenant space frontage up to the
maximum allowed in each zoning section. For the
purpose of determining area, the total area of a
sign is that within the smallest parallelogram,
triangle, circle or semicircle or combinations thereof
which will completely enclose the outside perim-
eter of the overall sign, including the border, if
any, but excluding supports. Three dimensional
signs shall be measured at the largest vertical
cross section.
(b) Combinations of signs. Except where spe-
cifically permitted, the types and areas of signs
may not be combined to allow a larger size than
that listed for a single sign. Ground signs may be
placed at an angle on a corner at no increase in
size over that of a single sign. The sum or the area
of the faces visible from any one point shall not
exceed that allowed for a single sign.
(c) Corner lots. Where two ground signs are
used on a corner lot, the area of both signs may
not exceed the area allowed for frontage as pro-
vided in subsection (a).
(d) Display of permit number. The sign permit
number for all signs requiring a permit shall be
prominently displayed by the owner or user of the
sign on the property where the sign is located.
(e) Height, setback and location measure-
ments. Measurements for setback and location for
all signs in all allowable districts shall be made
from that portion of the sign nearest that point of
ground reference to which the measurement is to
be made, but in no event shall a sign of any kind
project over public property or public rights -of-
way, whether affixed to a building or otherwise.
The height of signs shall be measured from grade
level at the closest edge of the street paving and
shall include all decorative portions of the sign.
All setback measurements shall be made from the
property lines as a point of reference to the
projecting edge or corner of the sign, unless oth-
erwise specified.
(f) Ground signs. Ground signs shall be set
back a minimum of six feet from the property line.
No ground sign shall be placed within the visibil-
ity triangle (refer to figure in section 94 -1).
(g) Size limit. No ground sign shall be sup-
ported so that the uppermost edge is more than
20 feet above the grade level from edge of street
pavement. This subsection shall not apply to any
sign on the face of the building. Any sign that is
not attached to a building shall not exceed 150
square feet on its largest front.

vided by the city. After review and recommenda-
tion by the pl annin g and zoning board, the city
council may grant the waiver under the following
conditions:
(a) The waiver may be granted during the
site plan review process. Such waiver
shall be at the city council's sole discre-
tion on a case -by case basis.
(b) The waiver must directly result in the
preservation of a hardwood tree (e.g. oak)
and/or the implementation of an extraor-
dinary landscape plan that goes well be-
yond the minimum requirements of the
City Code including, but not limited to,
planting additional and larger plant ma-
terials and trees, planting premium A-
grade plants and trees, incorporating dec-
orative hardship features into the
landscape design (e.g. fountains, decora-
tive fences and walls, trellises, lighting,
etc.), and planting premium A -grade plant
materials and trees on public property.
(c) The waiver is compatible with the sur-
rounding area and the minimum waiver
required to serve the public purpose stated
herein.
(d) No waiver shall be granted which changes
the list of permitted, conditional, special
exception, or prohibited uses or height
restrictions set forth in any zoning dis-
trict category.
(e) The waiver must be consistent with the
city's comprehensive plan.
(f) The waiver is not adverse to the public
health, safety and welfare.
(g) Any waiver granted under this section
shall automatically expire and be de-
clared null and void if the underlying
development order for the project expires.

Sec. 102 -43. Tree replacement guidelines.
(a) Tree replacement. All trees that are re-
moved or destroyed and subject to replacement by
this division shall be replaced by a desirable trees
or such other trees properly approved by permit.
Replacement shall occur prior to the issuance of a
certificate of occupancy (if approval is pending) or
within 30 days of removal or destruction, which-
ever date is earlier, unless a greater replacement
period is provided for good cause by permit.
(b) [Criteria.] Criteria for replacement trees
are as follows:
(1) Characteristics of replacement trees. The
replacement tree(s) shall have at least
equal shade potential, screening proper-
ties, and/or other characteristics compa-
rable to that of the tree(s) requested to be
removed.
(2) Size of replacement trees. Replacement
tree(s) are to be made according to the

§ 102 -46
(g) Cut and fill guidelines. It shall be unlawful
to remove or add any material or ground within
the tree protection zone unless otherwise permit-
ted by the building official.
(h) Encroachment of the dripline. During the
construction stage of development, the developer
or property owner shall not cause or allow land
clearing, the use of heavy equipment or material
within the dripline of any tree or groups of trees
to be retained. Neither shall the developer cause
or allow the disposal of waste material such as
paint, oil, solvents, asphalt, concrete, mortar or
any other material harmful to the life of a tree
within, the dripline of any tree or groups of trees,
or where planting beds are to be situated.
(i) Shearing, hat racking, topping or poodle
trimming of trees (lollipop), lions - tailing, pollard -
ing of trees. Trees intended for shade purposes
shall be allowed to reach their mature canopy
spread. It shall be unlawful to engage in excessive
pruning techniques on trees intended for shade
purposes. Excessive shearing, pruning or shaping
shall only be allowed with a permit by demon-
strating necessity or without a permit in times of
emergency only. The following are deemed unlaw-
ful excessive pruning techniques which are pro-
hibited on shade trees:
(1) Lions tailing. The improper practice of
removing most secondary and tertiary
branches from the interior portion of the
canopy leaving most live foliage at the
edge of the canopy.
(2) Topping, hatraching, stag heading, dehorn-
ing, lopping, and rounding over The im-
proper practice of reducing tree size by
making heading cuts through a stem more
than two years old; a pruning practice
that destroys tree architecture and serves
to initiate discoloration and perhaps de-
cay in the cut stem.
(3) Pollarding. The pruning technique that
removes sprouts back to the same location
annually or biannually maintaining a tree
to a specific height.
(4) Shearing. A pruning technique which is
typically accomplished with cuts made
Supp. No. 18
through wood less than a year old at the
sides of the canopy to create uniform
dense canopies.
(5) Poodle trimming. Combines shearing and
removing lower limbs to create tree forms
that look like a "lollipop."
Q) Construction near adjacent property. Walls,
structures, and pavement shall not be con-
structed in any way which will result in damage
to roots within the tree protection zones of trees
located on adjacent properties.

Sec. 102 -45. Minimum tree requirement.
No certificate of occupancy shall be issued on
the types of construction indicated below unless
the underlying parcel has at least the required
minimum number of approved trees:
(a) Any new single - family, duplex or triplex
dwelling unit on a lot of less than 7,500
square feet: not fewer than two trees.
Each tree shall be at least eight feet tall
with one and one -half inch dbh minimum
and a two -foot spread. Palm trees shall
have at least six feet of clear trunk.
(b) Any new single - family, duplex, and tri-
plex dwelling unit on a lot equal to 7,500
square feet or greater: not fewer than two
trees plus one additional tree for each
4,000 square feet or fraction thereof over
7,500 square feet. Each tree shall be at
least eight feet tall with one and one -half
inch dbh minimum and a two -foot spread.
Palm trees shall have at least six feet of
clear trunk.
(c) Any commercial, industrial, multifamily
or other structure requiring site plan ap-
proval under the city land development

ceptions and administrative appeals, and make
written recommendations to the applicable city
board.
(b) In the event an application does not con-
tain information reasonably necessary for staff to
complete its review and recommendation to the
applicable city board, staff shall provide written
notice to the applicant that the application is
deficient. The written notice shall specify the
additional information necessary for staff to com-
plete its review and recommendation on the ap-
plication. If the applicant fails to cure the defi-
ciencies within 30 calendar days of the date of the

abandoned and administratively denied on the
basis of an incomplete application. Upon written
request of the applicant, the city manager or the

(c) Upon completion of staff's review and writ-
ten recommendation on an application, the appli-

See. 110 -30.1. Attendance required at pub-
lic hearings; postponement of

(a) Applicants shall be required to attend all
public hearings required by this article to answer
questions and to provide supplemental evidence
CD110:17
§ 110 -30.1
CAPE CANAVERAL CODE
and testimony on the applicable review criteria.
Failure of an applicant to appear at the public
hearings may be a basis for denial of an applica-
tion where the board determines that the appli-
cation on its face, as well as any additional
evidence and testimony presented during the pub-
lic hearing, do not provide substantial competent
evidence to support approving the application.
(b) Applicants may request to postpone a sched-
uled public hearing on an application one time.
Said request shall be submitted in writing to the
city manager prior to the scheduled hearing. If
postponed, the hearing shall be scheduled for the
board's next available meeting and the applicant
shall be responsible for the cost of any additional
notices required by this article.
(c) During the course of a public hearing, the
board may, on its own motion or at the request of
staff, an applicant or interested person, table or
postpone consideration of an application at any
time for the following reasons:
(1) To obtain additional information relevant
to the application;
(2) Because of time constraints;
(3) To afford interested parties an opportu-
nity to testify and provide additional rel-
evant evidence;
(4) For lack of quorum;
(5) For emergencies;
(6) To seek legal counsel; or
(7) For any other circumstances in further-
ance of due process.

Sec. 110 -31. Reconsideration of rezonings,
variances, special exceptions or
administrative appeals.
When a petition for rezoning, variance, special
exception or administrative appeal has been acted
on by the city council or board of adjustment and
was disapproved or failed to pass, such petition in
the same or substantially similar form shall not
be reconsidered by the city council or board of
adjustment for a period of two years. This section
shall not apply to the property owner if the
original request was an administrative applica-
tion initiated by any official, department, board or
agency of the city acting in any official capacity.
This section shall not apply to any initial petition
or petition for reconsideration filed by the city
council.
(Ord. No. 11 -2005, § 2, 6- 21 -05)
Sec. 110 -32. Expiration of variance or spe-
cial exception; abandonment.
(a) Any variance or special exception approved
by the board of adjustment pursuant to this
article shall expire 12 months after the effective
date of such approval unless a building permit
based upon and incorporating the variance or
special expiration is issued by the city within said
time period. Upon written request of the property
owner, the board of adjustment may extend the
expiration date, without public hearing, by an
additional 12 -month period, provided the prop-
erty owner demonstrates good cause for the ex-
tension. Such request shall be submitted to the
board of adjustment prior to the expiration of the
first 12 -month period. In addition, if the afore-
mentioned building permit is timely issued, and
the building permit subsequently expires and the
subject development project is abandoned or dis-
continued for a period of six months, the variance
or special exception shall be deemed expired and
null and void.
(b) Thereafter, a variance or special exception
shall expire and become null and void if the use
granted thereunder is abandoned or otherwise
ceases to exist for a period of 18 consecutive
months. As used herein, abandoned shall mean
that the applicant has gone out of business, let all
business licenses lapse or has otherwise changed
the use of the property in conformance with this
Code. Once a variance or special exception has
lapsed due to abandonment, the applicant must
resubmit its request for variance or special excep-
tion pursuant to this article.

consider the evidence and testimony of
any interested party and shall either af-
firm or reverse, wholly or in part, the
decision of the board of adjustment or
community appearance board. However,
with respect to administrative appeals
under section 110 -40, the city council's de
novo review shall be of the record trans-
mitted to the board of adjustment by the
building official. A concurring majority
vote of the city council shall be required
for any decision made by the city council
under this section.
Failure of any aggrieved party to appeal
to the city council pursuant to this section
shall be deemed a waiver of that party's
right to judicial review.
(b) Appeals from city council. Any party ag-
grieved by any final decision of the city council
made under this section shall have the right to
file an appropriate action in a court of competent
jurisdiction.

Sec. 110 -483. Wireless communications tow-
ers and antennas.
1. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to
establish general guidelines for the siting of wire-
less communications towers and antennas. The
goals of this section are to: (1) protect residential
areas and land uses from potential adverse im-
pacts of towers and antennas; (2) restrict the
location of towers to non - residential areas; (3)
minimize the total number of towers throughout
the community; (4) strongly encourage the joint
use of new and existing tower sites as a primary
option rather than construction of additional single -
use towers; (5) encourage users of towers and
antennas to locate them, to the extent possible, in
areas where the adverse impact on the commu-
nity is minimal; (6) encourage users of towers and
antennas to configure them in a way that mini-
mizes the adverse visual impact of the towers and
antennas through careful design, siting, land-
scape screening, and innovative camouflaging tech-
niques; (7) enhance the ability of the providers of
telecommunications services to provide such ser-
vices to the community quickly, effectively, and
efficiently; (8) consider the public health and
safety and welfare and the safety of communica-
tion towers; and (9) avoid potential damage to
adjacent properties from tower failure through
engineering and careful siting of tower struc-
tures. In furtherance of these goals, the City of
Cape Canaveral shall give due consideration to
the regulations of this section, the City of Cape
Canaveral's comprehensive plan, zoning map and
regulations, existing land uses, and environmen-
tally sensitive areas in approving sites for the
location of towers and antennas.
2. Definitions. As used in this section, the

Backhaul network means the lines that connect
a provider's towers /cell sites to one or more cellu-
lar telephone switching offices, and/or long dis-
tance providers, or the public switched telephone
network.
Collocation means the location of two or more
antennas on a single tower or structure.
FAA means the Federal Aviation Administra-
tion.
