The purpose of this chapter is to allow only signage that provides a responsible communication system by setting requirements for the location, size, height and lighting of signs that will be compatible with adjacent land uses, architecture and landscape, and that will preserve and improve the aesthetic values and visual qualities of the City. (Ord. 2015-02, 2-5-2015)
See section 13.04.040 of this title. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012)
A. The sign requirements contained in this chapter are declared to be the maximum allowable.
B. Sign types not specifically allowed as set forth within this chapter are expressly prohibited.
C. Where other ordinances are in conflict with the provisions of this chapter, the most restrictive ordinance shall apply. (Ord. 2015-02, 2-5-2015)
A. Legal nonconforming signs may continue to be used.
B. A legal nonconforming sign shall not be materially altered, modified, reconstructed, raised, moved, placed, extended, or enlarged unless the sign is modified to conform with all of the provisions of this chapter. Alterations shall not be interpreted to include changing the text or copy of off premises advertising signs, signs for theaters, or other similar signs which are designed to accommodate changeable copy or the replacement of a permanent sign face with a sign face designed to accommodate changeable copy when the sign otherwise conforms to the provisions of this chapter.
C. Minor repairs and maintenance may be made to a nonconforming sign; however, in the event such sign has deteriorated or is hereafter damaged by whatever means, including an act of God, and such damage exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the reproduction value of the sign, according to appraisal thereof by competent appraisers, the sign shall be restored, reconstructed, altered or repaired only to conform with this chapter. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012)
When a plan for development, redevelopment, or modification of a parcel of land five (5) acres or larger, the applicant shall submit to the Planning Commission, for approval, a complete comprehensive sign plan for all existing, proposed or future signs. This plan shall be part of the conditional use permit for the development. The commission may approve a sign proposal that is less restrictive than the regulations set forth in this chapter providing there is a determination that the proposed sign exceptions are:
A. Not in conflict with the purpose of this chapter; and
B. In architectural harmony with the development and other buildings and uses adjacent to the development. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012)
The following shall be used when calculating sign sizes and area:
A. When more than one use occupies a lot, the frontage may be used to calculate the sign size for one total ground or projecting sign, not for each use. The total may then be divided between the uses. There may be any number of flat or wall signs, provided their total does not exceed the percentage of wall area coverage allowed.
B. A property line that abuts a nonaccess freeway, road, street or right-of-way may only be used in computing sign area when the property has no other frontage or access on a dedicated street.
C. The area of a sign that is used for display purposes, excluding the minimum frame and supports. In computing sign area, only one side of a back to back or double faced sign shall be computed when signs are parallel or diverge from a common edge by an angle of not more than forty five degrees (45°). In relation to signs that do not have a frame or a separate background, sign area shall be computed on the basis of the least rectilinear line with a maximum of eight (8) sides, triangle or circle large enough to frame the display. Sign areas in the shape of a sphere, prism, cylinder, cone, pyramid, square or other such shapes shall be computed as one-half (1/2) of the total surface area. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012)
