Multiple family residential requirements
By Robert C. Solera, Community Development Director

As a reminder to all residents in the City, on May 12, 2005, the City Commission adopted City Ordinance 2005-229, which outlines the approved locations for satellite dish antennas installation. This provision ensures compliance with the health, safety (Items placed on the outside of a building can turn into projectiles that pose a safety issue to other residents and visitors), and aesthetic objectives of the City.

Below is an excerpt of the ordinance:

A. No satellite dish shall be installed on exterior walls of buildings.
B. Satellite dish shall be located within the exclusive area of a condominium…(the satellite dish shall not be located on the outside of the balconies or walls of the apartment, breaking the envelope of the building).

The Code Enforcement and Licensing Department has been issuing violations to residents that have not complied with the requirements of the Ordinance.
