MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Cgmmission
FROM: Mayor Norman Edelcup /' 7 -
DATE: July 14, 2005 /
RE: Opposing the Proposed Amendments to the MDC Zoning Code Pertaining to
Signs
Recommendation:
'Phis Resolution is presented for your consideration and approval.
Reasons:
The proposed amendment would require all sign permits in incorporated municipalities,
including the City of Sunny Isles Beach, to first be approved by County Planning and Zoning
staff. I believe, as well as other municipal officials, that this amendment would negatively impact
the business community of the City by subjecting sign applicants to another layer of
bureaucracy. Moreover, the proposed amendment is an intrusion by the County into the local
affairs of municipalities.
