Full Breakdown
LDC § 1014 permits off-premises signage in Miramar only in digital-billboard form, a deliberate design choice the section's findings describe as a way to minimize the number of off-premises signs and billboards in the city by using changeable digital faces instead of adding more static boards. 3, a digital billboard must sit in a B2, B3, OP, EC, MU, PID, PUD (commercial or industrial) or U zoning district and on a parcel contiguous to a major expressway. No more than two digital billboard structures may go on any one property, and each structure can carry no more than two sign faces, which if angled must form a single 'V' or sit back-to-back within 15 feet of each other.
The sign face itself must be set back at least 15 feet from any right-of-way and 5 feet from any interior property line, cannot exceed 50 feet in sign structure height, and cannot exceed 14 feet by 48 feet (672 square feet) of face area. Spacing rules keep boards apart from each other, 1,500 feet from another billboard, and away from sensitive uses: 250 feet from an existing residential use, 50 feet from an existing building, and 100 feet from a place of worship, school, cemetery, park, playground or state/national forest.
Native landscaping sized to mature at 20 feet must screen the base structure. Every application goes to the Community Development Department for administrative site plan review, including a line-of-sight study from a Florida-registered engineer, with the Development Review Committee approving or denying it and a right to a quasi-judicial City Commission hearing within 30 days of that decision.
Violations & Fines
Digital billboards erected without the required site plan approval, or that exceed the height, size, setback or spacing standards of LDC § 1014.3, are sign code violations enforced under § 1012.3's escalating notice schedule: $25, $50, $100, then $500, spaced at least 15 days apart, before a special magistrate, with the city able to remove a noncompliant structure at the owner's expense after the fourth notice.
