(a) A comprehensive signage plan shall be required for any development which proposes more than one building, multiple tenant buildings, and/or the proposed subdivision and sale of outlots. The comprehensive signage plan is designed to address all tenants who will be using a common private drive and/or shared parking. A comprehensive signage plan must be submitted to the Community Development Department along with any development plan or site plan required by the City for review and approval by Planning Commission. A comprehensive signage plan shall contain the following:
(1) An accurate plot plan of the lot, at a scale which clearly shows detail and design plans on the lot.
(2) Elevation drawings of the proposed signage to be used indicating all dimensions;
(3) Location of buildings, parking lots, driveways, and landscaped areas on such lot;
(4) Computation of the total sign area, the maximum area for individual signs, the height of signs and the number of freestanding signs allowed on the lots included in the plan under this chapter;
(5) An accurate indication on the site plan of any existing signs and all proposed signs for the site.
(6) The comprehensive signage plan shall be signed by all owners or their authorization agents in such form as the City Administrator shall require.
(b) Maintenance. The initial owner is responsible for signage plan approval and subsequent owners are responsible for the maintenance of the signs in accordance with approved plan. Exposed surfaces shall be clean and painted; defective parts shall be replaced. The Administrator shall have the right under Section 1137.21
to order the repair or removal of any sign which is defective, damaged or substantially deteriorated.
(c) Procedures. A comprehensive signage plan shall be included in any development plan or site plan required by the City for the proposed development and shall be processed simultaneously with such other plan.
(d) Amendment. A comprehensive signage plan may be amended by filing a new comprehensive signage plan which conforms with all requirements of the ordinance then in effect.
(e) Binding Effect. After approval of a comprehensive signage plan, no sign shall be erected, placed, painted, or maintained, except in conformance with such plan. Such plan may be enforced in the same way as any provision of this chapter.
