Where Second Street passes through established business districts and the buildings are at the property line and are continuous or very closely spaced, encroachments overhanging the right-of-way line will be permitted under the following conditions:
(A) Awnings, canopies, marquees, signs and similar installations supported wholly from the face of the building shall be permitted to remain in place until such time that they become functionally or structurally obsolete, providing that the edge of such encroachment be not less than three feet back from the back of curb;
(B) Advertising or other similar signs which are less than three feet back from the face of the curb and are supported wholly from the front of the building shall be permitted to remain in place until such time that they become functionally or structurally obsolete, providing that the bottom of such encroachment be not less than 14.5 feet above the top of the curb;
(C) The replacement of obsolete signs, or the installation of new awnings, canopies, advertising signs or similar installations supported wholly from the building shall be permitted provided that no part of the encroachment is less than three feet back from the back of the curb and eight feet above the top of the curb elevation;
(D) In the event the encroachments referred to in divisions (A), (B) and (C) above, by reason of color, shape or placement, obscure in any way, or detract from the effectiveness of highway and street signs or traffic signals, the city shall cause the removal of such encroachments or take effective measures to improve the effectiveness of the highway or street signs or traffic signals;
(E) (1) Temporary off-site advertising signs or encroachments for special events may be allowed in street right-of-way, (not to include Second Street, Highway 18-44), with prior approval of the City Council. Requests shall be in writing and clearly reflect the size, location and visual appearance of such signs or encroachments; and
(2) All such signs or encroachments are subject to review after placement, and if it is determined that they interfere with traffic flow or public safety, shall be removed or made safe immediately.
(F) Permits for temporary signs or encroachments are limited to seven days or less.
