CITY OF HALLANDALE BEACH, FLORIDA

MEMORANDUM

KL07-002

DATE:           June 5, 2007

TO:               D. Mike Good, City Manager

FROM:         Commissioner Keith London

SUBJECT:   Discussion of Posting Zoning and Land Development Public Hearings

Presently, the City’s Zoning and Land Development Code requires posting of properties being considered for public hearings.  The current Code does not specify the size of the posted sign. 

I suggest that City Commission and Planning and Zoning Board hearings involving Rezoning, Land Use Plan Amendments and Major Development Plan approvals be required to be posted with a large sign of 6-feet by 4-feet, including the contact information for both the City’s representative and the applicant.  The applicant would be required to post the property to such specifications fourteen (14) days prior to the City Commission hearing, or prior to the Planning and Zoning Board hearing should the item be heard in front of the Planning and Zoning Board first.  Furthermore, the sign should be kept up during the process to provide information regarding the status of the application.

Should the City Commission concur, this new posting requirement could be handled by staff through the adoption of an Administrative Policy.

Please place this item on the June 20, 2007 Commission Agenda for discussion.
