This document details a Planning Commission meeting agenda and related staff reports concerning proposed amendments to the City of Port Orange's Land Development Code (LDC) regarding billboards. The primary focus is Case No. DCAM-26-0003, an application by Lamar Advertising Company, represented by Jessica Gow, Esq. of Cobb Cole, to amend Chapter 15 of the LDC. The proposed changes aim to revise standards for reconstructed billboard signs, specifically concerning height and sign face area. The applicant seeks to allow reconstructed signs to be taller (up to 30 feet or the height of the existing sign, whichever is greater) to enhance employee safety during maintenance, and to increase the allowable sign face area to 380 square feet to accommodate manufacturer specifications for LED displays. The amendments also clarify the timing of billboard demolition and introduce an administrative variance process for height standards. The document outlines two specific reconstruction proposals: one at the intersection of Ridgewood Avenue and Nova Road, and another along I-95 near the Dunlawton Avenue / Taylor Road interchange (5889 Williamson Boulevard) and south of the Williamson Boulevard overpass bridge (4901 Williamson Boulevard). The staff recommendation is for approval, subject to direction from the Planning Commission and City Council. The document also references a separate, previously approved item (DCAM-25-0005) regarding amendments to Chapter 17, Section 29 for the Planned Commercial-Agriculture (PC-A) zoning district. Public comments were not stated for the DCAM-26-0003 item.
