A. Purpose: Large scale land uses (such as a shopping center, an office park, a special purpose district use such as the airport, or large institutions such as universities or medical centers having a multibuilding campus) have common design elements that can be complemented and enhanced through the use of special signage. Localized alternative sign overlay districts allow for the creation of special sign regulations to meet the needs of these situations.

RP District
CG District
CS District
A District
UI District
BP District
I District
PL District
PL-2 District
These regulations shall also apply to stadiums, arenas, convention centers, live performance theaters, and ancillary uses to the aforementioned on sites larger than two (2) acres, in the following districts:
D-1 District
D-2 District
D-3 District
D-4 District
C. Submission Of Overlay District Regulations: In order to give effect to the purpose set forth in subsection A of this section, a localized alternative sign overlay district pertaining only to a particular center, campus or district may be proposed as an alternative to the sign regulations that would otherwise be applicable under this chapter.
D. Effect Of Overlay District: If a localized alternative sign overlay district is established, the sign standards and limitations established within that district shall govern.
E. Application Procedure: Persons seeking to establish a localized alternative sign overlay district pursuant to this section shall submit the regulations proposed for the overlay district to the Zoning Administrator, together with any additional material the Zoning Administrator requests. This shall be considered an amendment to this title and zoning map and review and approval shall follow normal amendment procedures pursuant to chapter 21A.50 of this title. Following adoption of the overlay district by the City Council, the regulations of the district shall apply uniformly to all properties located within the boundaries of the overlay district.
