The standards set forth below shall apply to signs in the public right-of-way:
A. Signs may be placed at street, alley, or other property lines; however, no portion of any sign, except as otherwise provided in this chapter, may project into or above the public right-of-way, or otherwise be placed in or upon the public right-of-way. Additionally, no sign may be attached to any traffic-control device, as contained in Division II, Chapter 2 of the State of California Vehicle Code, or to any tree or utility pole within the public right-of-way.
B. Flush-mounted business signs subject to the provisions of Section 20.58.130(D) may be permitted to project a maximum of six inches into the public right-of-way.
C. Under no circumstances may any sign, other than traffic-related signs installed by an authorized governmental entity, be placed in the median strip of any street or highway within the city. Such signs shall be subject to removal by the city due to their potential to create immediate traffic hazards consistent with Section 20.58.140(E).
