37.01 INTENT AND PURPOSE. This section is intended to control and regulate the development of signs within the City of Eldridge. There is a significant relationship between the manner in which signs are displayed, the public health, safety and welfare, and the value, compatibility and economic stability of adjoining property, its land use, and the city. The reasonable display of signs is necessary as a service to the people in the conduct of competitive commercial and industrial activity and to promote freedom of expression. The regulations in this section establish standards for the display of signs in direct relationship to the above stated purposes and directives.
37.02 PERMITS REQUIRED. When the regulations of this section require a permit, said permit shall be obtained from the building inspector. Where sections of the Code of Eldridge as applied to structures, particularly the uniform sign ordinance as adopted by the city, is applicable; said permits must also be approved by the Eldridge Building Inspector.
A. No sign shall be placed so as to obstruct vision at street intersections and driveway intersections for oncoming vehicles.
B. When a permit is required on any particular sign, said sign shall display the name of the owner and erector.

D. No sign shall be attached to a tree or utility pole.
E. All signs not authorized by this section are prohibited.
F. No signs other than public service and safety signs shall be permitted on public property unless authorized by the governmental agency having control thereof.
It is the intent of this section to recognize that the eventual elimination, as expeditiously as it is reasonable, of existing signs that are not in conformity with the provisions of this section is as much a subject of the health, safety, and welfare of the public as is the prohibition of new signs that would violate the provisions of this section. It is also the intent of this section that any elimination of non-conforming signs shall be affected so as to avoid any unreasonable invasion of established private property rights. The Building Inspector or Zoning Officer shall cause removal of a sign or sign structure if the property owner fails to comply with the standards of this section within ten (10) days after being issued a written notification from the Building Inspector or Zoning Officer. Any expense incurred by the City in removing or repairing the sign or sign structure shall be paid by the owner of the property to which the sign is attached. Yard signs, as defined in this chapter, found in violation of this chapter can be removed and disposed of by the Zoning Officer, or their designee, without notice.
A. Obsolete signs. Any non-conforming off-premises sign which does not advertise a bona fide business, product, or organization or becomes obsolete because the business or organization has relocated, shall be removed by the owner within one hundred twenty (120) days of the termination or relocation of the business, product, or organization being advertised. Removal of obsolete signs shall include the supporting structure, exclusive of any building, if all signs on the structure are obsolete.
Any non-conforming off-premise sign which is severely damaged and requires over sixty five (65) percent of the cost of replacement for repair shall be removed within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the damage. Removal of damaged signs shall include the supporting structure, exclusive of any building, if all signs on the structure are non-conforming.
B. Any obsolete sign which does not advertise a bone fide business conducted, or a product sold, shall be taken down and removed by the owner, agent, or person having the beneficial use of the structure upon which such sign may be found within ten (10) days after written notification from the zoning administrator. Upon failure to comply with such notice within the time specified in such order, the building inspector may cause removal of such sign, and any expense incident thereto shall be paid by the owner of the property to which such a sign is attached.
C. Unsafe and unlawful signs. If the building inspector shall find that any sign is unsafe or insecure, or is a menace to the public, or has been constructed or erected or is being maintained in violation of the provisions of this section, he shall give written notice to the person to whom the sign certificate has been issued. If he fails to remove or alter the sign so as to comply with the standards herein set forth within ten (10) days after such notice, such sign may be removed or altered to comply by the building inspector at the expense of the sign certificate issue or owner of the property upon which it is located. The building inspector shall refuse to issue a sign certificate to any such party or owner who refuses to pay costs so assessed. The building inspector may cause any sign that is an immediate peril to persons or property to be removed summarily and without notice.
D. Alterations. No display sign or outdoor advertising device shall be altered, rebuilt, enlarged, extended, or relocated except in conformity with the provisions of this ordinance. The repainting, changing of parts and preventive maintenance of signs shall not be deemed to be alterations.
E. Maintenance: The owner of any sign requiring a permit shall be required to maintain an exterior which is properly painted, galvanized, or otherwise treated to prevent rust and deterioration of all parts and supports.
