FINDINGS OF FACT Upon consideration of the oral and documentary evidence adduced at the hearing, the following relevant facts are found: (1) On~ or about December 8, 1987, Dimmitt Chevrolet, Inc. , an automobile dealership located at 2285 U. s. Highway 19 North, Clearwater, placed on display 23 American flags on top of lightposts in front of the business. " (2) After receiving notice from the city that the flying of more than two flags was in violation of the city's Land Development Code, petitioner applied for a permit to fly the 21 o additional flags. The city's Development Code Administrator advised petitioner that "the maximum number of flags on any nonresidentially zoned property is two - with or without permits." (3) On or about January 29, 1988, the 'petitioner submitted to the city its application for a variance to display the 21 additional American flags. The application form requires the applicant to state the reasons for the variance request. As the "special conditions or circum~tances applicable to the property involved,lI petitioner responded that "the subject property is large with substantial frontage on U. S. Highway 19 and the flags are small. II When asked to respond why the variance was necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial ~ ~ 3 \, 'r .'

In light of the fact that wind devices, such as banners, pennants and streamers used to draw attention to the property, are prohibited by the Code, as well as the facts that it has been determined that two flags are permissible on commercial property, as well as one property and one business' identification sign, it is reasonable to conclude that a display of 23 American flags violates the spirit and intent of the city's sign regulations. Counsel for the applicant urges that there is no c rational basis for limiting the number of American flags to two, and that such a limitation constitutes an unconstitutional infringement of the rights of freedom of speech and expression. It is further urged that the Code is vague in its allowance of two flags IIwithout a permit,t1 yet fails to set forth the parameters for obtaining a permit for more than two flags. Likewise, it is argued that the Code's conditions for a variance .' are not applicable to the facts of this case. This is not the proper forum for an attack upon the facial validity or constitutionality of the City's Land Development Code. The purpose of this proceeding is to review the decision of the Board regarding the applicant's request for a variance. In performing such a review, the Hearing Officer is to fi 8 .< 1.' '. ~ .
