In addition to temporary signs permitted in the specific district requirements of this article, temporary signs shall also be permitted which comply with the following requirements:
(a) Location. One ground or window sign per street frontage shall be permitted. Any ground sign or any part thereof shall be set back a minimum of 15 feet from the edge of an adjacent roadway pavement. Additional setback may be required to avoid placement within the public right-of-way and/or to prevent line-of-sight obstruction.
(b) Area. The total sign area shall not exceed six square feet per sign face or 12 square feet in total sign area if two sided.
(c) Height. Sign height shall not exceed four feet.
(d) Material. Sign may be constructed of poster board, cardboard, masonite, plywood or plastic material and mounted to wood, metal or plastic frames or supports.
(e) Condition. Because of the nature of materials typically used to construct temporary ground signs, to avoid the unsightliness of deteriorating signs and all safety concerns which accompany such a condition, temporary ground signs must be removed or replaced when sign is deteriorated. The City may remove any deteriorated sign and charge the expenses for the removal to the owner of the property on which the sign is displayed. Any unpaid charges may be assessed in the form of a lien against the owner of the property.
(f) Enforcement. Signs encroaching on the right-of-way will be removed by the City. Signs removed by the City can be picked up at the Public Works Department. Signs not claimed will be destroyed in 30 days.
(g) Marketing Signage.
(1) A sign permit is required for display of this sign.

A. Display shall be limited to one continuous 30-day period in any one- half calendar year per parcel for all signs of this nature.
