REPORT:
ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY (ACA) CHRISTOPHER J. WAHL READ THE TITLE OF THE FOREGOING PROPOSED ORDINANCE INTO THE RECORD.
CHAIRWOMAN REGALADO OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THE FOLLOWING PERSON APPEARED BEFORE THE COMMITTEE:
- MS. MICHELLE BILBAO, 5800 NW 77TH COURT, MIAMI, FLORIDA, REPRESENTING CLEAR CHANNEL OUTDOOR, WITH THE AID OF A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION PROVIDED HISTORICAL CONTEXT REGARDING ORDINANCE 22-152, ADOPTED NOVEMBER 15, 2022, WHICH ALLOWED REPLACEMENT OF NON-CONFORMING BILLBOARDS WITH SMALLER POSTER BOARDS. SHE EXPLAINED THE FOREGOING PROPOSED ORDINANCE SOUGHT TO INCREASE POSTER BOARD HEIGHT FROM 10 FEET TO 12 FEET, ALIGNING WITH INDUSTRY STANDARDS FOR DIGITAL BILLBOARDS, AND EXPAND PLACEMENT OPTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT POSTER BOARDS BEYOND THE CURRENT 600-FOOT LIMITATION.
MS. BILBAO EXPLAINED THAT SINCE THE ADOPTION OF THE ORIGINAL LEGISLATION IN 2022, NONE OF THE NON-CONFORMING BILLBOARDS HAD BEEN REMOVED DUE TO PLACEMENT RESTRICTIONS. SHE PRESENTED VISUAL EXAMPLES DEMONSTRATING HOW THE 600-FOOT REQUIREMENT PREVENTED REMOVAL OF IMPROPERLY PLACED BILLBOARDS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
COMMISSIONER BERMUDEZ CLARIFIED THAT THE ORDINANCE WOULD NOT INCREASE BILLBOARDS BUT RATHER FACILITATE ONE-FOR-ONE REPLACEMENT OF NON-CONFORMING SIGNS. HE EMPHASIZED THAT PUBLIC HEARINGS WOULD STILL BE REQUIRED AND REPLACEMENT BOARDS MUST BE IN CONFORMING AREAS.
IN RESPONSE TO VICE CHAIRWOMAN COHEN HIGGINS' INQUIRY ABOUT THE SIZE INCREASE, MS. BILBAO CONFIRMED THAT 10-FOOT BY 24-FOOT DIGITAL BILLBOARDS DID NOT EXIST IN THE INDUSTRY, MAKING THE 12-FOOT STANDARD NECESSARY.
COMMISSIONER STEINBERG EXPRESSED DISAGREEMENT WITH THE PROPOSED LEGISLATION.
CHAIRWOMAN REGALADO PROPOSED SEVERAL AMENDMENTS INCLUDING A REQUIREMENT FOR REPLACEMENT POSTER BOARDS TO REMAIN WITHIN THE SAME COMMISSION DISTRICT, THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MORATORIUM DURING REDISTRICTING PROCESSES, AND AN IMPLEMENTATION TIMEFRAME OF 60-DAY FOR REMOVING NON-CONFORMING SIGNS AFTER PERMITS WERE ISSUED FOR REPLACEMENTS. SHE ALSO SUGGESTED THAT PROPOSALS OUTSIDE COMMISSION DISTRICTS SHOULD REQUIRE THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS' (BOARD) APPROVAL.
COMMISSIONER BERMUDEZ ACCEPTED THE PROFFERED AMENDMENTS.
COMMISSIONER HIGGINS EXPRESSED PREFERENCE FOR NON-CONFORMING PAPER BILLBOARDS OVER CONFORMING ELECTRONIC BILLBOARDS, VOICING CONCERNS ABOUT OVERSIZED ELECTRONIC BILLBOARDS IN NEIGHBORHOODS AND THEIR IMPACT ON RESIDENTIAL AREAS THROUGH EXCESSIVE LIGHTING.
COMMISSIONER HIGGINS CAUTIONED THE COMMISSIONERS AGAINST THE DECISION TO INSTALL OVERSIZED ELECTRONIC BILLBOARDS IN NEIGHBORHOODS, CITING CONCERNS OVER UNWANTED ADVERTISEMENTS AND EXCESSIVE LIGHTING AND DISAGREED WITH BRINGING ITEMS FOR BOARD APPROVAL TO CHANGE COMMISSION DISTRICTS.
VICE CHAIRWOMAN COHEN HIGGINS QUESTIONED WHETHER THE 10-FOOT REQUIREMENT WAS INTENTIONALLY NEGOTIATED IN 2022 OR REPRESENTED AN OVERSIGHT, EXPRESSING CONCERN THAT IF THE DIMENSION WAS NEGOTIATED AS A COMPROMISE WITH RESIDENTS, INCREASING IT TO 12 FEET WOULD ALSO ADD DIGITAL LIGHTING CAPABILITIES.
MS. BILBAO CONFIRMED THAT THE INDUSTRY STANDARD HAD ALWAYS BEEN 12 FEET BY 24 FEET AND THAT 10-FOOT DIMENSIONS NEVER EXISTED, CHARACTERIZING THE ORIGINAL REQUIREMENT AS AN OVERSIGHT.
VICE CHAIRWOMAN COHEN HIGGINS INDICATED SHE WOULD REVIEW MEETING RECORDS TO VERIFY THIS EXPLANATION, NOTING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF MAKING SIGNS BOTH LARGER AND ADDING ILLUMINATION FEATURES.
ACA ABBIE SCHAWADERER RAURELL READ THE AMENDMENTS INTO THE RECORD, AND DISCUSSION ENSUED REGARDING ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS THAT COULD BE DRAFTED AS THE ITEM PROCEEDED.
COMMISSIONER BERMUDEZ CONCLUDED HE HOPED THE AMENDED ITEM RESONATED WITH THE MUNICIPALITIES, AND THESE BILLBOARD SIGNS WOULD BE PLACED CONSISTENTLY WITH THE INDUSTRY STANDARDS.
ACA SCHAWADERER RAURELL ADVISED THE FOREGOING PROPOSED ORDINANCE WOULD BE AMENDED TO REQUIRE REPLACEMENT POSTER BOARDS BE LOCATED WITHIN THE SAME COMMISSION DISTRICT AS THE ORIGINAL BILLBOARD, AND TO ESTABLISH A 60-DAY TIMELINE FOR TEARDOWN OF ORIGINAL BILLBOARDS AFTER REPLACEMENT PERMITS WERE ISSUED.
DISCUSSION ENSUED AMONG ACA SCHAWADERER RAURELL, COMMISSIONER BERMUDEZ, AND CHAIRWOMAN REGALADO REGARDING ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS THAT COULD BE DRAFTED WHILE THE FOREGOING LEGISLATION PROCEEDED TO PUBLIC HEARING.
HEARING NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, THE COMMITTEE PROCEEDED TO VOTE ON THE FOREGOING ORDINANCE, AS AMENDED.

REPORT:
Assistant County Attorney (ACA) Christopher J. Wahl read the title of the foregoing proposed resolution, which was added as a walk-on item, into the record.
Chairwoman Regalado opened the reasonable opportunity for the public to be heard, and seeing no one appear wishing to speak, closed the reasonable opportunity to be heard.
Mr. Roy Coley, Miami-Dade County Chief Utilities and Regulatory Services Officer, with the aid of a PowerPoint presentation provided a comprehensive status update on the Ocean Outfall legislation program. He outlined the three primary requirements which included eliminating normal use of ocean outfalls for treated wastewater disposal, reducing nutrient discharge through advanced treatment, and implementing reuse for 60% of base wastewater flows.
Mr. Coley provided a timeline showing the program's evolution from the 2008 legislative passage through the current 34% completion status and explained that the 2013 plan included constructing a new wastewater treatment plant in the West District, but policy changes in 2019 eliminated the new plant construction and redirected focus to accelerating existing Capital Improvement Program projects. He detailed the reuse strategy involving industrial cooling at energy recovery facilities and noted that in 2021, only 15 million gallons per day of wastewater reuse was committed, with no comprehensive compliance plan. Mr. Coley noted the current plan included over 100 million gallons per day of industrial reuse, with full construction scheduled for 2026.
Chairwoman Regalado and Commissioner Higgins commended the administration's progress on the program.
Hearing no questions or comments, the Committee proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.
The Clerk of the Board received notice that the foregoing proposed resolution was placed on the March 18, 2025, Board of County Commissioners (BCC) meeting.
