This chapter regulates signs which can be viewed from any public right-of-way by prescribing regulations and standards for such signs. It provides for administration, requires permits and prescribes fees therefore, and provides for enforcement and for appeals. This chapter is hereby found necessary as an exercise of the city’s police and legislative powers to protect and promote the public health and safety; to promote the convenience and the enjoyment of public travel; to protect the public investment in city streets and public places; and to attract visitors to the city by conserving its natural and man-made beauty. This chapter is intended to balance the need for a well-maintained and attractive community and the need for adequate business identification, advertising and communication. (Ord. M-3868 § 3, 02/25/2008; Ord. M-3643, 01/26/2004)
