t_oto/fro4/670A, SIGN REGULATIONS Division C. General Regulations. SEC. 19.105. REGULATED SIGNS EXEMPT FROM OBTAINING A SIGN PERMIT AND SIGN LICENSE. (a) City Council Findings. The City Council finds that allocating public funds and staff resources to those signs that present the most public safety and aesthetic problems will better achieve the overall purpose of this Article. Requiring a permit or license for every type of sign in the City would unduly tax staff resources, thus diluting the overall enforcement of this Article. Therefore, the City Council finds that the following signs shall be regulated pursuant to this Article, but shall be exempt from the requirement of obtaining a sign permit, sign license, and from the payment of a license or permit fee.
