Code Section: 606(a)(2)
Subject: Flashing, blinking or animated signs
Effective Date: 1993
Interpretation:
This Paragraph prohibits flashing, blinking or otherwise animated signs in residential districts. However, in a case where a marquee conforming to the RC-4 and Van Ness Avenue SUD District regulations was proposed to contain sign copy that would periodically change automatically, the Board of Appeals found that such automatic change of copy does not constitute flashing, blinking or animated copy provided it does not change more frequently than once per hour. (It would be a business sign advertising businesses in Opera Plaza.)
