Chapter 15.44 SIGN CODE
Section 15.44.270 Street graphic permits.
After the effective date of the ordinance codified in this
chapter, no sign, billboard or other
street graphic (other than those for which a sign permit has been heretofore issued under the
former street graphics control ordinance of the city adopted February 13, 1984 and except those
listed in Section 15.44.170), shall be erected, expanded, altered, relocated or reconstructed
without a street graphic permit issued by the administrator.
A. Application. Every applicant for
a street graphic permit shall submit to the administrator,
in narrative and graphic form, all of the items of information listed below.
Items of information:
1. Name, address and telephone number
of the applicant;
2. Name and address of the owner of
the premises on which the street graphic is to be
erected, if different from subdivision (1) of this subsection;
3. Location of the building, structure
or lot where the proposed street graphic is to be
erected, and the zoning district classification of the premises;
4. Description of the proposed street
graphic indicating proposed location, dimensions, area,
overall height, illumination, and method of support or attachment;
5. The nature and location of traffic
control devices located within one hundred fifty (150)
feet of the proposed street graphics;
6. Amount of street frontage that
the establishment which proposes to display the street
graphic has, and the total area of all existing signs on the premises; and
7. Such other information as the administrator
shall reasonably require to determine full
compliance with this chapter.
The applicant shall pay to the city clerk the fee prescribed
in Section 15.44.320 when the
application for the street graphic permit is filed with the administrator.
B. Insurance Requirements. The administrator
shall not issue a permit for any street graphic
which is so located that it might fall upon a public right-of-way until the applicant has obtained a
liability insurance policy covering all damages or injuries which might be caused by such an
event. The applicant shall be responsible for keeping the policy in force, and shall keep on file
with the city clerk proof of such insurance (including a copy of the insurance policy or policies
providing coverage for the same, to include the currently effective cover sheet or declaration of
coverage sheet pertaining thereto) naming the city as a co-insured. The policy or policies of
insurance shall provide that same may not be cancelled without thirty (30) days prior written
notice to the city. (Ord. 892 § 5-2, 1991)
