A. Signs within open-air malls, stadiums, or other enclosed spaces that do not have a roof but are otherwise physically confined and separated from the public street right-of-way are required to obtain sign permits and pay fees to ensure public safety and compliance with the City's Building Code. Such signs are subject to Sign Ordinance regulations unless a sign master plan agreement was specifically considered as part of a planned development as outlined in Chapter 21A.55 of this title or was specifically authorized through the design review process as outlined in Chapter 21A.59 of this title. The sign master plan agreement shall only be authorized for signage within the open-air mall or stadium that is not oriented to the public street. Signage oriented to a public street or to a surface parking lot is specifically not exempt from Sign Ordinance requirements and not subject to modification through a sign master plan agreement.
