A. Government-sponsored events. Temporary banners for government-sponsored events are permitted on city street light poles, subject to review and approval of the Community Development Director and/or City Engineer. For this purpose, "government-sponsored event" means an event, activity, or meeting that the Community Development Director determines is organized or sponsored, in whole or in part, by the City or another government agency. Priority shall be given to City-sponsored events.
B. Other temporary signs. No other temporary signs shall be allowed in the public right-of-way, excepting temporary portable signs approved as an accessory use pursuant to a valid temporary use permit, entertainment permit, film permit, or conditional use permit approved by the City. Such signs shall only be allowed in the public right-of-way areas located within or immediately adjacent to the location of the approved event or activity.
C. Materials. Temporary signs in the public right-of-way shall be made of durable, weather-resistant materials, and be continually maintained in good condition. Non-permanent materials, including, but not limited to paper, cardboard, poster board, plastic laminates and similar materials, shall not be used.
D. Encroachment permit required. All temporary signs within the public right-of-way shall be subject to an approval of an encroachment permit by the Public Works Department. No encroachment permit for a temporary sign shall be approved if the Public Works Director finds it is designed or will be displayed in a manner that will conflict with pedestrian or vehicular safety.
