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.

however, said disclosure shall be no later than the
time that the council first considers the agenda
item in which the voting conflict exists. If the
voting conflict is not discovered until the agenda
item is under consideration, disclosure shall be
required at such time the councilmember becomes
aware of the voting conflict.
(1) It shall be the responsibility of any person
deciding to appeal any decision made by the city

can be adequately answered or addressed by the
city manager or administrative staff, the city
council may request, upon consensus or proper
motion and majority vote, that the speaker refer
the matter to the city manager or his designee
during normal city business hours. If such a
referral is made by the city council, the speaker
shall have no further right to present that matter
at the meeting. If the speaker is not adequately
satisfied by the city's administrative staff upon
proper referral, the speaker shall have the right
to bring the matter in question before the city
council during the general discussion portion of
any subsequent regular city council meeting.
(b) The city council recognizes that the general
discussion portion of the meeting is for the pur-
pose of legitimate inquiries and discussion by the
public and not for the purpose of advancing ques-
tions, arguments or repetitious questions concern-
ing matters which the city council believes to be
closed, privileged and confidential, or not of gen-
eral public concern to the city. Further, it is not
appropriate to address quasi-judicial and public
hearing items under general discussion. The city
council shall have the right during general dis-
cussion to decline to hear any person or any
subject matter upon consensus or proper motion
and majority vote by the city council.

ARTICLE I. IN GENERAL
Sec. 54-1. Definition of city park.
"City park" means land owned or maintained
by the City of Cape Canaveral and which is
designated as a public park or public recreational
area by the City's Comprehensive Plan (Recre-
ation and Open Space Element), by a resolution
adopted by the city council, or by dedication that
has been accepted by the city council. Included in
the definition of the term "city park" are the city's
special use facilities and all natural resources,
wildlife, facilities, improvements, waters and ma-
terials in, on or under the lands so designated.
(Code 1981, § 606.05; Ord. No. 07-2014, § 2,
6-17-14)
Sec. 54-2. Procedures for naming of city
parks.
(a) Intent and purpose; findings. The intent
and . purpose of this section is to establish a
uniform method and procedure to assist the city
council in naming certain city parks. The city
council hereby finds that the authority to name
city parks is solely vested in the city council.
Nothing herein shall be construed as a delegation
of any authority to name a city park to any other
person or entity. The naming of city parks shall be
determined in the sole and absolute discretion of
the city council.
(b) Generally. The naming of a city park shall
be determined by the city council either (i) based
on its own initiative, (ii) upon a recommendation
by the director of leisure services, (iii) upon the
request of any person or entity desiring to assist
the city council in determining the name of any
city park, or (iv) as part of city council approval of
a new land development project which consists of
a new city park pursuant to the city's land devel-
opment regulations. The director of leisure ser-
vices may make a recommendation to the city
council based on the director's own initiative, or
as part of an assistance petition as set forth below.
(c) Naming guidelines. When considering the
naming of any city park, the director of leisure
services and city council shall consider the follow-
ing naming attributes:
1. Recognized geographic names;
Supp. No. 23
Natural historic features;
Significant historic contributions to the
city, State of Florida, or United States;
4. Significant material or financial contribu-
tions to the city;
5. Persons of historic service to the city;
6. Persons of outstanding civic service to the
city; and
7. Documented community support for the
name.
(d) Other factors. When considering the nam-
ing of any city park, the director of leisure ser-
vices and city council shall also consider the
following other factors:
1. The cost that the naming or renaming
will have on the city or any other person
who is or could be materially affected by
the name or name change;
CD54:3
2. Naming proposals that promote alcohol
and tobacco products or political organi-
zations will not be considered;
3. Preference shall be given to names of long
established local usage and names that
lend dignity to the park or recreational
facility to be named;
4. Persons currently serving on the city coun-
cil or serving as an existing city employee
shall not be considered;
5. Names selected shall be of enduring, hon-
orable fame, not notoriety and shall be
commensurate with the significance of
the city park;
6. Names with connotations which by con-
temporary community standards are de-
rogatory or offensive shall not be consid-
ered;
7. Proliferation of the same name for differ-
ent city parks shall be avoided;
8. Proliferation of multiple names for differ-
ent parts of a particular city park shall be
avoided; and
9. If the name is an individual person,
whether the individual has ever been con-
victed of a felony.
§ 54-2
CAPE CANAVERAL CODE
(e) Assistance petitions. Any person or entity
wishing to assist the city council in determining
the name of a city park shall submit an assistance
petition to the director of leisure services for
evaluation and a recommendation by the director.
The petition shall be in writing and shall demon-
strate the basis on which the petitioner believes
the naming request satisfies the naming guide-
lines and other factors set forth in subsections (c)
and (d) and demonstrate that requisite minimum
community support has been obtained by the
petitioner pursuant to subsection (f). Upon receipt
of duly submitted assistance petition, the director
shall make a recommendation to the city council
either for approval or disapproval of the assis-
tance petition.
(f) Minimum community support for assis-
tance petitions. Each assistance petition submit-
ted to the director pursuant to subsection (e) shall
be accompanied by petition signatures that dem-
onstrate minimum community support. Mini-
mum community support is demonstrated if an
assistance petition is signed by at least five per-
cent of the residents of Cape Canaveral based on
the last officially reported population statistics
maintained by the city.
No assistance petition shall be processed by the
city manager unless said petition has the mini-
mum number of signatures required by this sub-
section.

Sec. 82-375. Intent and purpose.
It is the intent and purpose of this article to
authorize the issuance of citations for violations
of F.S. §§ 489.127 and 489.132(1), as may be
amended or renumbered from time to time by the
Florida Legislature. It is also the intent and

be the building official and those persons desig-
nated a code enforcement officer by the city man-
ager. Nothing contained in this article shall pro-
hibit the city from enforcing its codes or ordinances

(Ord. No. 09-2004, § 1, 5-18-04)
Sec. 82-376. Findings.
The city council of the City of Cape Canaveral
hereby finds:
(a) The commencement or performance of work
for which a building permit is required
without such building permit being in
effect creates a grave threat to the public
health, safety, and welfare and jeopar-
dizes the safety of occupants of buildings.
(b) The performance of construction by con-
tractors who are not duly licensed, when a
contracting license is required, may pose
a danger of significant harm to the public
when incompetent or dishonest unlicensed
contractors provide unsafe, unstable, or
short-lived products or services.
(Ord. No. 09-2004, § 1, 5-18-04)
Sec. 82-377. Citation authorized for con-
struction contracting violations.
A code enforcement officer is hereby authorized
to issue a citation for any violation of F.S. §§ 489.127
and 489.132(1), whenever, based upon personal
investigation, the code enforcement officer has
reasonable and probable grounds to believe that
such violation has occurred. A citation shall be
issued in accordance with the rules and proce-
dures established by this article and Florida Stat -
Supp. No. 23
Sec. 82-378. Citation form.
A citation issued by a code enforcement officer
shall be in a form prescribed by the city council by
resolution, and shall contain at a minimum:
(a) The time and date of issuance.
(b) The name and address of the person to
whom the citation is issued.
(c) The time and date of the violation.
(d) A brief description of the violation and the
facts constituting reasonable cause.
(e) The name of the code enforcement officer.
(f) The procedure for the person to follow in
order to pay the civil penalty or to contest
the citation.
(g) The applicable civil penalty if the person
elects not to contest the citation.
(Ord. No. 09-2004, § 1, 5-18-04)
Sec. 82-379. Penalty.
In addition to any other criminal penalties
provided by F.S. § 489.127(2), a civil penalty of
$500.00 shall be levied for any violation of this
article. All monies collected by the city from
citations issued under this Article shall be depos-
ited in the city's general fund and may be ex-
pended for any public purpose authorized by the
city council. A person cited for a violation pursu-
ant to this article is deemed to be charged with a
noncriminal infraction. Each violation is a sepa-
rate civil infraction. Each day such violation shall

article. Any request for an administrative
hearing shall be made and delivered in
writing to the city manager by the time
set forth in this subsection. Failure to
request an administrative hearing in writ-

enforcement board in accordance with the require-
ments of the Local Government Code Enforce-
ment Boards Act.
(b) During the administrative hearing, if the
violator demonstrates to the code enforcement
board that the violation is invalid or that the
violation has been corrected prior to appearing
before the code enforcement board, the code en-
forcement board may dismiss the citation unless
the violation is irreparable or irreversible, in
which case the code enforcement board may order
the violator to pay a civil penalty as set forth in
subsection (c) below.
(c) During the administrative hearing, if the
code enforcement board finds that a violation
exists, the code enforcement board may order the
violator to pay a civil penalty of not less than the
amount set forth on the citation but not more
than $1,000.00 per day for each violation. In
determining the amount of the penalty, the code
enforcement board shall consider the following
facts:
(1) The gravity of the violation.
(2) Any actions taken by the violator to cor-
rect the violation.
(3) Any previous violations which were com-
mitted by the violator.
(d) During the administrative hearing, if the
code enforcement board finds that the violator
had not contested or paid the civil penalty set
forth in the citation within the time required in
this article, the code enforcement board shall
enter an order ordering the violator to pay the
civil penalty set forth on the citation, and a
hearing shall not be necessary for the issuance of
such order.
(e) All civil penalties imposed by the code
enforcement board under this article shall con-
tinue to accrue until the violator comes into
compliance or until a judgment is rendered by a
court to collect or foreclose on a lien filed under
this article, whichever occurs first, regardless of
whether or not the order of the code enforcement
board sets forth this accrual requirement.

CAPE CANAVERAL CODE
The degree of flood protection required by this
article and the Florida Building Code, as amended
by the city, is considered the minimum reasonable
for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific
and engineering considerations. Larger floods can
and will occur. Flood heights may be increased by
man-made or natural causes. This article does not
imply that land outside of mapped special flood
hazard areas, or that uses permitted within such
flood hazard areas, will be free from flooding or
flood damage. The flood hazard areas and base
flood elevations contained in the Flood Insurance
Study and shown on Flood Insurance Rate Maps
and the requirements of Title 44 Code of Federal
Regulations, Sections 59 and 60 may be revised
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
requiring the city to revise these regulations to
remain eligible for participation in the National
Flood Insurance Program. No guaranty of vested
use, existing use, or future use is implied or
expressed by compliance with this article.
(Ord. No. 04-2014, § 3, 2-18-14)
Sec. 90-31. Disclaimer of liability.
This article shall not create liability on the part
of the City Council of the City of Cape Canaveral

or any administrative decision lawfully made
thereunder.

of good and sufficient cause that the unique
characteristics of the size, configuration,
or topography of the site limit compliance
with any provision of this article or the
required elevation standards;
(b) Determination by the construction board
of adjustments and appeals that:
(1) Failure to grant the variance would
result in exceptional hardship due to
the physical characteristics of the
land that render the lot undevelop-
able; increased costs to satisfy the
requirements or inconvenience do not
constitute hardship;
(2) The granting of a variance will not
result in increased flood heights, ad-
ditional threats to public safety, ex-
traordinary public expense, nor cre-
ate nuisances, cause fraud on or
victimization of the public or conflict
with existing local laws and ordi-
nances; and
(3) The variance is the minimum neces-
sary, considering the flood hazard, to
afford relief;
(c) Receipt of a signed statement by the ap-
plicant that the variance, if granted, shall
be recorded in the office of the clerk of the

(d) If the request is for a variance to allow
construction of the lowest floor of a new
building, or substantial improvement of a
building, below the required elevation, a
copy in the record of a written notice from
the floodplain administrator to the appli-
cant for the variance, specifying the dif-
ference between the base flood elevation
and the proposed elevation of the lowest
floor, stating that the cost of federal flood
insurance will be commensurate with the
increased risk resulting from the reduced
floor elevation (up to amounts as high as
$25.00 for $100.00 of insurance coverage),
and stating that construction below the
base flood elevation increases risks to life
and property.

FERTILIZER LAND APPLICATION § 92-2
Sec. 92-1. Short title; purpose and objec-
tives.
This chapter regulates and promotes the proper
use of fertilizers by any applicator; requires proper
training of commercial and institutional fertilizer
applicators; establishes training and licensing
requirements; establishes a prohibited applica-
tion period; specifies allowable fertilizer applica-
tion rates and methods; fertilizer -free zones; low
maintenance zones; and exemptions. This chapter
requires the use of best management practices
which provide specific management guidelines to
minimize negative secondary and cumulative en-
vironmental effects associated with the misuse of
fertilizers. These secondary and cumulative ef-
fects have been observed in and on the City of
Cape Canaveral's natural and constructed
stormwater conveyances and surface waters. Col-
lectively, these water bodies are an asset critical
to the environmental, recreational, cultural and
economic well-being of City of Cape Canaveral
residents and the health of the public. Over-
growth of algae and vegetation hinder the effec-
tiveness of flood attenuation provided by natural
and constructed stormwater conveyances. Regu-
lation of nutrients, including both phosphorus
and nitrogen contained in fertilizer, will help
improve and maintain water and habitat quality.
(Ord. No. 17-2013, § 2, 1-21-14)
Sec. 92-2. Definitions.

nity appearance board for review and consider-
ation.
(b) If, after review and investigation as re-
quired herein, the administrator determines that

exceed three months, for good cause shown.
(c) If, after review and investigation as re-
quired herein, the administrator determines that
one or more reasons for denial exist, the permit
shall be denied and the administrator shall make
a written report of the denial and the reasons
therefore. A copy of the report shall be sent by
certified mail to the designated return address of

notice from the administrator, which advertises a
business or product which has not been conducted
or sold at the premises where the sign is located

Supp. No. 23
exist that require the immediate removal of the
sign in order to abate the public hazard. Any such
sign displayed more than 48 hours after notice to

expense of the permittee or owner, unless the
matter is pending an appeal to the code enforce-
ment board or unless the decision of the admin-
istrator has been reversed by the code enforce-
ment board.
(c) Signs constituting traffic hazard. No sign or
other advertising structure as regulated by this
chapter shall be erected at the intersection of any
street in such a manner as to obstruct free and

position, shape or color, it may interfere with,
obstruct the view of or be confused with any
authorized traffic sign, signal or device; or which
makes use of any word commonly used on traffic
control signs or signals. Visibility at intersections
shall be in accordance with the figure [found in

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
CD94:15
§ 94-64
CAPE CANAVERAL CODE
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.

materials, illumination, placement, landscaping,
scale, etc.) through the use of words, pictures and
diagrams that identify acceptable and unaccept-
able signage consistent with the requirements of

of any court of competent jurisdiction, the decla-
ration of such unconstitutionality shall not affect
any other part, section, subsection, paragraph,

(c) Severability of provisions pertaining to pro-
hibited signs. Without diminishing or limiting in
any way the declaration of severability set forth
above in subsection (a), or elsewhere in this
chapter, this Code, or any adopting ordinance, if
any part, section, subsection, paragraph, subpara-

ARTICLE IV. NONCONFORMING SIGNS
Sec. 94-121. Nonconforming signs.
All signs or outdoor displays which are lawfully
in existence or are lawfully erected and which do
not conform to the provisions of this chapter are
declared nonconforming signs. It is the intent of
this chapter to recognize that the eventual elim-
ination of nonconforming signs as expeditiously
and fairly as possible is as much a subject of
health, safety, and welfare as is the prohibition of
new signs that would violate the provisions of this
chapter. No nonconforming sign shall be changed,
expanded or altered in any manner which would
increase the degree of its nonconformity, or be
structurally altered to prolong its useful life, or be
moved in whole or in part to any other location
where it would remain nonconforming.
Supp. No. 23 CD94:22
(a) Termination by abandonment: Any non-
conforming sign structure, the use of which
as a sign is discontinued for a period of 90
consecutive days, regardless of any intent
to resume or not to abandon such use,

shall not thereafter be reestablished ex-
cept in full compliance with this chapter.

shortages, or acts of God, and without any
contributing fault by the nonconforming
user, shall not be considered in calculat-
ing the length of discontinuance for pur-
poses of this subsection.
(b) Termination by damage or destruction:
Any nonconforming sign damaged or de-
stroyed by any means, to the extent of 50
percent of its replacement cost at the time
of being damaged or destroyed, shall be
terminated and shall not be restored.
(c) Termination by redevelopment: Whenever
any revision or modification is made to a
building or to site improvements, which
revision or modification requires the sub-
mission of a new or substantially revised
site plan or development plan, pursuant
to the Land Development Code, all signs
or sign structures on the parcel of land in
question shall be made to conform with
the current requirements of this chapter,
or shall be removed.
(d) Pole signs—Termination by amortization:
Any nonconforming pole sign existing on
September 16, 2014 and not terminated
pursuant to any other provision of this
section shall be permanently removed or
modified into a pylon sign by September
16, 2016, by the installation of a non-
corrosive decorative cover applied over
and attached to the supporting pole(s) in
accordance with industry standards of
material and workmanship, except, how-
ever, pole signs located within the visibil-
ity triangle shall be permanently removed
or relocated from the visibility triangle by
said date in compliance with this chapter.
(e) Signs of a temporary nature—Amortiza-
tion. Any nonconforming sign which is

tine repair and maintenance of a noncon-
forming sign is permitted in accordance

nonconforming signs, the city manager
shall be authorized to waive sign permit-
ting fees for any sign application that is
filed for purposes of eliminating or modi-
fying a nonconforming sign and making it
in full compliance with the provisions of
this chapter.
(Ord. No. 08-2014, § 2, 9-16-14)
Sec. 94-122. Exceptions and appeals.
(a) Upon application filed with the administra-
tor, the administrator may exempt legally exist-
ing nonconforming signs from the requirements of
this chapter related only to height, sign area, and
projection from the building, if the sign owner can
demonstrate that the nonconformity is within 20
percent of each specific requirement. However,
the sign must be brought into full compliance if it
is substantially damaged.
(b) Freestanding signs that are nonconforming
only with respect to the minimum required dis-
tance from any property lines, shall be allowed to
remain in the existing location provided that no
portion of the sign is located within any publicly
owned right-of-way, visibility triangle, or utility
easement and that no interference with clear
sight distance exists, and further provided that
such signs are otherwise in compliance with the
terms of this chapter.

(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, hatracking, 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. 23
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."
(j) 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.
(Ord. No. 05-2005, § 2, 4-19-05)
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
regulations: no fewer than six trees or
four trees per acre, whichever is greater.

materials, construction machinery or temporary
soil deposits within the dripline of any tree for
which a tree removal permit is required but has
not been obtained. This provision includes soil
that is placed in the dripline permanently for the
purpose of a grade change, unless the grade is
changed according to the guidelines described in
the Florida Division of Forestry, Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services publication,
Tree Protection Manual for Buildings and Devel-
opers.
(b) Burden of tree protection on property owner.
It shall be the responsibility of a property owner
and their agents to ensure that any tree shown on
the tree inventory for which a tree removal per-
mit has not been obtained is to be protected. The
property owner shall guarantee survival of re-
tained trees and replacement trees for two years
from the date that the city accepts the trees and
landscaping, unless a greater time period is re-
quired by development agreement. If a retained
or replacement tree dies during that time period,
the property owner shall replace the tree in
accordance with a remedial action approved un-
der section 102-43 of this division. For new devel-
opment projects, the city may require a perfor-
mance bond in a form acceptable to the city
attorney, as a condition of site plan or other
permit approval, in order to ensure compliance
with this subsection.
(c) Protective barriers and signage required.
Protective barriers shall be installed prior to
construction around every tree or group of trees to
be preserved. Waterproof, rigid "Protection Zone
Area" signs, as shown on Appendix A: Tree Pro-
tection Area Signage and not smaller than two
feet by three feet shall be posted at 100 -foot
increments along the protective barriers.
(d) Site inspections. The building official may
conduct periodic inspections of the site. It is the
responsibility of the property owner and their
agents to ensure that all provisions of this divi-
sion are met.
(e) Adjacent properties. The property owner
and their agents shall ensure that the tree pro-
tection zones of trees located on adjacent proper-
ties are protected in the same manner that trees
located on the development site are protected.
(Ord. No. 05-2005, § 2, 4-19-05)
Sec. 102-47. Voluntary tree planting.
This division shall not be interpreted to re-
strict, regulate or limit the voluntary planting of
any tree within the city, except undesirable spe-
cies which are prohibited. The provisions of this
division govern only the planting of trees which
are required to be planted or retained under this

required for a decision may be extended by mu-
tual agreement between the city and the person
filing the notice of appeal. The appeal procedure
under this subsection shall be the exclusive method
for appealing an administrative interpretation
decision made under this division.
(c) Incentive program. The city council re-
serves the right to offer and approve incentives
for purposes of protecting and preserving mature
trees and planting enhanced landscaping. Such
incentives shall have a public benefit and may
include, but are not limited to, waiving provisions
of the city's land development and zoning code in
accordance with section 102-42 of this division
and providing credits to city development fees.
Any incentives granted under this subsection
shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan
and shall be by development agreement or other
formal approval by the city council.

Sec. 102-49. Remedial action.
(a) Violations require remedial action. Where
tree removal or land clearing violations of this
division have occurred, remedial action shall be
taken to restore the property consistent with a
restoration plan approved by the building official
or the city council if the violation is inconsistent
with plans, permits, or agreements approved by
the city council. The restoration plan shall re-
quire mitigation of any other damage to the
property, as well as tree replacements. The resto-
ration plan shall be in addition to any civil pen-
alty imposed by the city under section 102-38 of
this division.
(b) Tree replacement remediation requirements.
Each tree destroyed or receiving major damage in
violation of this division must be replaced by
either a comparable size and desirable type of tree
as listed within this division or providing a con-
tribution to the tree bank equal to four times the
contribution listed on Table 1 or planting four
desirable species in accordance with section 102-54
before issuance of a certificate of occupancy or
Supp. No. 23
certificate of completion. Palm trees may only be
used to satisfy up to 25 percent of any hardwood
remediation.
(c) Property owner to guarantee survival of
replaced trees. The property owner shall guaran-
tee the survival of the trees required to be placed
under subsection (b) above for a period of two
years from the date the city accepts the trees and
landscaping, unless a greater time period is re-
quired by development agreement. If the replace-
ment tree dies, the tree shall be replaced in
accordance with this section. For new develop-
ment projects or violations involving the unlawful
removal of more than five trees, the city may
require a performance bond in a form acceptable
to the city attorney, as a condition of approving
the restoration plan, in order to ensure compli-
ance with this subsection.

Sec. 110-30. Staff review; application defi-
ciencies.
(a) The city staff shall be required to review all
applications for rezonings, variances, special ex-
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
written notice, the application shall be deemed
abandoned and administratively denied on the
basis of an incomplete application. Upon written
request of the applicant, the city manager or the
city manager's designee may grant one 30 -day
extension of time for the applicant to cure the
deficiencies, provided the applicant demonstrates
good cause for the extension. Extension requests
shall be submitted to the city manager prior to
the expiration of the initial 30 -day period.
(c) Upon completion of staffs review and writ-

§ 2, 2-3-2009)
Sec. 110-30.1. Attendance required at pub-
lic hearings; postponement of
hearings.
(a) Applicants shall be required to attend all
public hearings required by this article to answer
questions and to provide supplemental evidence
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;

ZONING § 110-33
(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.
(Ord. No. 01-2009, § 2, 2-3-09)
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 city manager may extend the expira-
tion date by an additional 12 -month period, pro-
vided the property owner demonstrates good cause
for the extension. Such request shall be submitted
to the city manager prior to the expiration of the
first 12 -month period. Any extension granted by
the city manager pursuant to this section shall
not increase the scope or intensity of the special
Supp. No. 23
exception or variance. Further, the approved spe-
cial exception or variance shall remain subject to
any applicable terms and conditions imposed as
part of the board of adjustment's original ap-
proval. In addition, if the aforementioned build-
ing permit is timely issued, and the building
permit subsequently expires and the subject de-
velopment project is abandoned or discontinued
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.

munity appearance board.

of the board of adjustment or the commu-
nity appearance board made under any
chapter of this Code shall have the right
to appeal the final decision to the city
council.
CD 110:21
(2) Any such appeal shall be filed with the
city manager within ten calendar days of
the date of the final decision. The city
manager shall schedule the city council's
consideration of the appeal for the next
available regular city council meeting and
shall provide the party seeking appellate
review with written notice of the date,
time and location of said meeting.
(3) The city council's consideration of the
final decision being appealed shall be de
novo. The city council shall hear and
consider the evidence and testimony of
§ 110-33
CAPE CANAVERAL CODE
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.
(4) 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.
