A. No sign shall be placed over or on a sidewalk or other public property unless a permit is secured from the City Manager therefor.
B. A permit will only be issued after the applicant has filed an application in a form prescribed by the City Manager and the City Manager or his designee has approved the application.
C. The City Manager shall not issue such permit if, in his judgment, the proposed sign would be or would likely become a danger or hazard to persons or property, would be unsightly, or would otherwise be prejudicial to the public welfare.
D. After such permit is issued, it shall be unlawful to erect, place, or construct such sign except in accordance with the plans and specifications submitted to the City Manager or as the plans and specifications may be changed by approval of both the City Manager and applicant. Each permit shall only be valid for twelve (12) consecutive calendar months after its issuance and may be renewed annually thereafter providing the sign remains in compliance with applicable codes and fees are paid.
