office and hotel buildings based on the height of the sign.

The proposed amendment furthers the orderly development of the City.
5. The proposed amendment improves the administration or execution of the
development process.
The proposed amendment improves the administration or execution of the
development process in that it provides for wall signage regulations for office and
hotel buildings based on the height of the sign.
Description/Background of Proposed Amendments:
The City of Aventura Land Development Regulations permit office buildings in the
following zoning districts:
· The B1 (Neighborhood Business) District, with a height restriction of two stories
or 35 feet.
· In the TC1 (Town Center) District and the TC2 (Town Center Marine) District,
with a height restriction of 4 stories or 50 feet.
and permit office and hotel buildings in the following zoning districts:
· In the B2 (Community Business) District and B3 (Heavy Business) District, with a
height restriction of 20 stories or 341 feet including structured parking, and with
the further restriction that any portion of the building within 200 feet of a
residentially zoned property is limited in height to one foot for each two feet in
distance from the residential plot unless the application of this restriction would
limit the building height to a minimum of 25 feet.
· In the OP (Office Park) District and MO (Medical Office) District, with a height
restriction of 10 stories or 176 feet including structured parking.
The current City Code allows 1 wall sign measuring 1 square foot for each 1 lineal foot
of building frontage for office and hotel buildings from one to seven stories with a corner
location permitted an additional sign at 50% of the size of the primary sign and 2 wall
signs at 1.5 square feet for each 1 lineal foot of building frontage for buildings eight
stories or higher.
At its January 23, 2003 workshop meeting, the City Commission discussed the
provisions of the current code for wall signage on office and hotel buildings and
concurred with staff's recommendation of an amendment to base the size of wall
signage for office and hotel buildings on the height of the sign for buildings of differing
heights. The recommended revision will not affect any existing wall signs on office and
hotel buildings in the City.
City staff is therefore requesting an amendment to the current code to revise the size of
wall signage on office and hotel buildings based on the height of sign as follows:
