Chapter 916: Signs <br /> <br />Page 916-6 <br />b. All other non-conforming signs: Five years from the date of the enactment of this <br />Chapter. <br />4. A non-conforming sign may not be: <br />a. Changed to another non-conforming sign. <br />b. Structurally altered except to bring into compliance with the provisions of this Chapter. <br />c. Expanded. <br />d. Re-established after its removal for 30 days. <br />e. Re-established after damage of more than 50 percent of sign replacement cost except to <br />bring into compliance. <br />5. Non-Conforming Sign Maintenance and Repair. Nothing in this section shall be construed as <br />relieving the owner or user of a legal non-conforming sign or owner of the property on which <br />the legal non-conforming sign is located from the provisions of this section regarding safety, <br />maintenance, and repair of signs contained in Section 916.030 of this Chapter. Provided, <br />however, that any repainting, cleaning, and other normal maintenance or repair of the sign or <br />sign structure shall not modify the sign structure or copy in any way which makes it more non- <br />conforming or the sign shall lose its legal non-conforming status. <br />6. All properties or businesses, containing nonconforming signage, wishing to conduct site <br />improvements of any kind, shall bring all signage into conformance with City standards when <br />said improvements are valued at more than 50 percent of fair market value of the existing site <br />including structures on said site. This value shall be determined by the City Assessor. <br />916.050 District Regulations <br />The following sections concern signs which require application and permit. Subject to other <br />regulations in specific districts, no sign shall be located closer than 5 feet to any property line. <br />1. R-1 and R-2 Residential Districts: <br />a. Institutional or area identification signs, provided that the gross square footage of sign area <br />does not exceed 24 square feet in the R-1 and R-2 Districts. <br />b. Freestanding signs (monument type only allowed) shall not exceed a height of 8 feet. <br />c. Residential Project Monument Signs. <br />(1) On Private Property. <br />Within residential projects, a residential project monument sign may be located on <br />an outlot which is owned and maintained by the owners of the residential units in <br />the project. The sign and the outlot shall be located and be of appropriate size to <br />protect the sign from vehicular traffic, avoid conflicts with traffic visibility or <br />movement, and avoid conflicts with street maintenance operations. The City may <br />adopt a standard minimum design for such signs, subject to additional requirements <br />based on the proposed location. The City Council may approve such outlots, and <br />may impose any conditions necessary to promote the public health, safety, and <br />welfare of the community.
