Painting of curb signs shall conform to the following detailed requirements:
A. Purpose: Farr West property owners are not required to install curb signs, but are encouraged to do so for the quick identification of a home or business by fire/EMS, law enforcement, or other city personnel in the event of an emergency. Curb signs are for the sole purpose of assisting in identifying the location of specific homes or businesses. Only one curb sign displaying the building number is allowed per residence, lot, or business. Street names or additional street numbers are not allowed. Advertisements, logos, or any other commercial identifiers are prohibited.
B. Materials: All house or business numbers shall be painted using a nonreflective matte black paint on a solidly filled reflective white paint background. Numbers are to be in a block type font only. The white background shall be rectangular in shape with a length no longer than sixteen inches (16") and a height of no more than six inches (6"). Numbers shall be no more than five inches (5") in height with a font width of three- fourths (3/4) to one inch (1"). The numbers shall be spaced one inch (1") apart. The house or business number, in its entirety, shall be centered on the background allowing for a minimum of a one-half inch (1/2") contiguous border.
C. Location Of The Sign: The sign shall be applied between the approach (driveway, etc.) and the farthest front edge of the property and centered at a distance of three feet (3') from the nearest edge of the approach. If the property has two (2) approaches, either approach may be used as the start of measuring. If the property is a corner lot, the sign shall be painted on the curb of the street of which the property is assigned regardless of whether or not an approach exists. If an approach does not exist, the sign shall be centered between the corner and the property line. If the approach is the entry point of a flag lot or if the approach is centered within the lot, the sign may be painted on either side of the approach. If the distance from a flag lot approach is less than three feet (3') from the property line, the sign placement shall be centered midway between the approach and the property line.
D. Curb Painting As A Business: Any person who operates or advertises a curb sign painting business shall obtain a Farr West business license prior to soliciting or conducting any such work on any property in the city. (Ord. 16-01)
