Chapter 916: Signs <br /> <br />Page 916-4 <br />5. Temporary Use of Portable Signs <br />a. Temporary use of portable signs, banners, pennants, window signs in excess of that <br />established below, and similar devices shall require a permit pursuant to Section 916.060 <br />of this Chapter. In no case shall permits exceed 4 in a calendar year, or a total of 120 days <br />in a calendar year, with no more than 60 days of that allocation to be used for non-banner <br />temporary signage per business and/or tenant. If spotlights are used in conjunction with <br />temporary signs, such lights shall not be operated during more than 5 days in conjunction <br />with any single permit and shall be placed in such a banner as to not constitute a traffic <br />hazard. Said signs shall be at least 5 feet from the property line. Temporary signs shall be <br />removed from display immediately upon lapse of permit. <br />(1) In the case of single-tenant buildings, a permit shall not be issued for more than 30 <br />days nor shall a permit be issued within 30 days from the termination date of a <br />prior permit. <br />(2) In the case of multi-tenant properties, a permit shall not be issued for more than 30 <br />days. Further, no more than two temporary sign permits may be issued at the same <br />time. In the case of two or three tenant buildings, no more than one temporary sign <br />permit may be issued at any given time. It is hereby noted that sign permits for <br />multi-tenant buildings may not be reallocated from one tenant to another to <br />increase the allowable number of signs in any calendar year. <br />(3) On property zoned P, Public, temporary signs may be allowed by Administrative <br />Permit. <br />(4) Temporary sign permits shall be valid for no more than one sign per permit, and no <br />more than one permit per sign period. <br />b. Except as expressly allowed in Section 916.030C.5.a. of this Chapter, no temporary sign <br />shall exceed 32 square feet in area nor 6 feet in height, as measured from the ground over <br />which the sign is displayed to the top of the sign, with exception that banners may be <br />mounted up to, but no higher than, the peak of the roof. Banners may be up to 36 square <br />feet in size. <br /> <br />Banners are only allowed to advertise a specific promotional event with a defined time <br />period as evidenced on the permit application. Banners may not be used solely for general <br />advertising of a business name or product. <br /> <br />Banners and pennants shall be maintained in an aesthetically pleasing manner and shall be <br />free of tears, fraying, or fading when viewed from the public right-of-way. <br /> <br />Banners must be affixed to the building or mounted between the poles of an existing, <br />double-post pylon sign securely affixed by all four corners. <br /> <br />In the case of pennants, they must also be affixed to the building or a pylon sign and <br />secured by both ends. <br /> <br />The City will remove banners and pennants that are not maintained in an appropriate <br />manner. Banners and pennants may not encroach into the public right-of-way. <br />c. A lighter than air balloon, blow up sign, no more than 35 feet in diameter, may be used as a <br />temporary sign no more than one time a year for no more than 5 consecutive days, except <br />in the case of a “Grand Opening” as provided for in Section 916.030C.5.a of this Chapter.
