Summary

City commissioners approved amendments to the sign code (LED sign definitions), granted a special‑exception for an OutFront Media billboard at Dolphin Mall, and approved final plats for multiple developments; the Flagler Center master agreement was deferred pending more information.

The City Commission approved several land‑use and signage items during its May 4 meeting.

On a second reading the commission amended the land development code to add definitions and standards for LED signs; no members of the public spoke during the public hearing and the ordinance passed on a unanimous roll call. Mayor Diaz noted the application near Dolphin Mall and said the placement should not adversely affect residents.

Representatives for OutFront Media, including attorney Brian Adler, presented a companion special‑exception application for signage at Dolphin Mall and explained how the signage booklet would be revised. The commission approved the special‑exception application after a brief presentation and standard motion and second.

The commission also approved final‑plat resolutions for Ladner Development (Little Abner phases 1–3) and a replat for Bridal Estates, clearing those plats for county recording. Commissioners emphasized that the Flagler Center master‑development agreement (a larger mixed‑use project) remains under review; the mayor and the developer said additional information is still pending and the item was deferred with no date certain.

Taken together, the approvals move several development and signage matters forward while the commission continues to seek more detailed information on the larger Flagler Center project.
