A. Size: The maximum size of the sign face for such portable signs shall not exceed three feet (3') in height and two feet (2') in width on a sidewalk. Any portion of the frame for a portable sign (the support structure) may extend up to six inches (6") in any direction beyond the sign face. Illumination and other attached decorations or objects on such signs are prohibited.
B. Location: Within the zoning districts identified above, any person may display a freestanding portable sign on the City owned right-of-way (sidewalk or park strip) but not in the roadway. Signs may not be attached to any utility poles, traffic signs, news racks or any other item or fixture in the public way. The usable sidewalk space must remain unobstructed. Unobstructed sidewalk space must be at least ten feet (10') wide on Main Street between South Temple and 400 South; and where available, eight feet (8') wide in the D-1, D-3, D-4 and G-MU Districts. In all other applicable areas a minimum of six feet (6') of unobstructed space is required. In addition, any portable sign may not be placed in any location that would obstruct any ADA accessible feature.
C. Construction: All portable signs must be built so as to be reasonably stable and to withstand expected wind and other weather elements.
D. Attended Portable Signs: An "attended portable sign" is a portable sign placed by a person who, either in person or through a representative, at all times while the sign is in the public right-of-way, remains either: 1) within twenty five feet (25') of the sign or 2) on the first floor of a building whose front entrance is within twenty five feet (25') of the sign or which has windows providing a view of the portable sign from within the building. Salt Lake City reserves the right to request the removal or relocation of a portable sign to accommodate construction activity within the public right-of-way.
Portable signs that are attended by a representative shall be permitted only on the "block face" (as defined in section 21A.62.040 of this title) on which the business being advertised is located and on up to two (2) block faces intersecting and contiguous with the block face on which such business is located, provided that the portable sign is located within a zoning district which permits said signs. Within the downtown and gateway zoning districts, a "block face" shall be defined as all of the lots facing one side of a street between two (2) intersecting collector and/or arterial streets.
