t <br /> Sec. 78-1466. Signs as accessory use. <br /> Signs are a permitted accessory use in all districts subject to the following regulations: <br /> (1) On right-of-way. Private signs are prohibited within the public right-of-way or easements, except <br /> that the council may grant a conditional use permit to locate signs and decorations on or within <br /> the right-of-way under their jurisdiction for a specified time not to exceed 90 days. No <br /> conditional use permit for such a sign shall be issued by the council if a conditional use permit or <br /> temporary sign permit had been issued in the previous 24 months to that property. <br /> (2) Flashing. Illuminated flashing signs shall not be permitted in any district. <br /> (3) Beams. Illuminated signs or devices giving off an intermittent, steady or rotating beam consisting <br /> of a collection or concentration of rays of light shall not be permitted in any district. <br /> (4) Sales signs. For purpose of selling, renting or leasing property, a sign not in excess of ten square <br /> feet per surface may be placed within the front yard of such property to be sold or leased. Such <br /> signs shall not be less than 15 feet from the right-of-way line unless flat against the structure. For <br /> the purpose of selling or promoting a residential project of six or more dwelling units, one sign <br /> not to exceed 48 square feet; a commercial area of three acres or more, or an industrial area of <br /> ten acres or more, one sign not to exceed 96 feet of advertising surface, may be erected upon the <br /> project site. Such sign shall not remain after 90 percent of the project is developed. <br /> (5) Existing signs. Signs existing on September 14, 1967, which do not conform to the regulations <br /> are a nonconforming use. <br /> (6) Traffic interference. No sign may be erected that, by reason of position, shape or color, would <br /> interfere in any way with the proper functioning or purpose of a traffic sign or signal. <br /> (7) Building wall signs. Signs shall not be painted directly on the outside wall of the building. Signs <br /> shall not be painted on a fence, rocks or similar structure or feature in any district. Paper and <br /> similar signs shall not be permanently attached directly to a building wall by an adhesive or <br /> similar means (temporary use of such signs is permitted per standards set forth in subsection(8) <br /> of this section). Signs shall be considered as a structure or fastened to another structure. <br /> (8) Temporary signs. <br /> a. There shall be no more than four temporary business signs issued per calendar year, and <br /> for a period of not more than ten days per time or of the duration of the event promoted <br /> by the sign message, whichever is less. The sign (including banners or balloons), sign <br /> supports or portable stand shall be removed from public view at the end of the period. <br /> Total area of the sign shall not exceed 32 square feet per surface (64 square feet total <br /> signage allowed for two-sided portable sign). Advertising balloons are not subject to area <br /> restrictions but must meet all applicable federal and state standards. <br /> b. There shall be no more than one temporary sign in any required yard area, and, if separate <br /> multiple signs are proposed, the total area of the signs shall not exceed 32 square feet. <br /> Temporary business signs require a building permit from the city. No such permit shall <br /> be issued by the city if a conditional use permit under section 78-1467(1)c has been <br /> issued to a residential property. No temporary sign shall be allowed in residential zones <br /> 2 <br />
