1. Sign Area Measurement. Sign area is measured as follows:

a. Signs on Background Panel. Where the sign copy is mounted, affixed, or painted on a background panel or distinctively painted, textured, or constructed surface, the sign area is measured as the sum of the smallest rectangle(s) that will enclose both the sign copy and the background, as shown in Figure 17.27.080(A).

b. Signs With Individual Letters. Where the sign has individual letters or graphics mounted against a wall, fascia, mansard, parapet, or other building surface that has not been distinctively painted, textured or constructed as a background panel, the sign area is measured as the smallest rectangle(s) that will enclose each word and each graphic in the sign as shown in Figure 17.27.080(B).

c. Irregular Shaped Signs. Sign area for irregular shaped signs is determined by dividing the sign into the smallest squares or rectangles that will enclose each word or graphic in the sign as shown in Figure 17.27.080(C). If the square or rectangles overlap, the area of overlap is subtracted from the total sign area.

d. Multiface Signs. The sign area for multiface signs, as shown in Figure 17.27.080(D), is measured as follows:

i. Two-Face Signs. Where the interior angle between the two sign faces is forty-five (45) degrees or less and the sign faces are less than forty-two (42) inches apart, the sign area is measured as the area of one sign face only. Where the angle between the two sign faces is greater than forty-five (45) degrees, the sign area is the sum of the areas of the two sign faces.

ii. Three—or Four—Face Signs. The allowable sign area is measured as fifty percent (50%) of the sum of the areas of all sign faces.

2. Sign Height Measurement.

a. Freestanding Signs. Sign height for freestanding signs is measured as the vertical distance from the finished grade to the top of the sign.

i. Higher Than Adjacent Grade. Where the grade at the base of a sign is higher than the grade of the adjacent road right-of-way, sign height is measured from the base of the sign, as shown in Figure 17.27.080(F).

ii. Lower Than Adjacent Grade. Where the grade at the base of a sign is lower than the grade of an adjacent road right-of-way, the height of the sign is measured from the top of curb elevation, as shown in Figure 17.27.080(G) (the portion of the sign below the grade at the edge of the right-of-way shall not be included in determining the sign’s overall height).

b. Wall Signs. The height of building-mounted signs is the vertical distance measured from the base of the wall on which the sign is located to the top of the sign structure, as shown in Figure 17.27.080(H).

3. Building Frontage.

1. Internal Illumination.

2. External Illumination.

2. Raceway, as illustrated in Figure 17.27.080(K), shall only be used in building-mounted signs when access to the wall behind the sign is not feasible, or when the community development director determines that a benefit exists to preserve a historic or architectural feature of a building. In such cases, the raceway shall not extend in width and height beyond the area of the sign and shall match the color of the building to which it is attached.

3. Signs shall be designed so that the support frameworks for the sign are an integral part of the design of the sign or within the structure of the building to which it is attached in such a manner as to not be visible.

1. All signs must be maintained by the property owner, tenant, or permittee. In the event a sign becomes derelict for reasons of lack of maintenance the approval may be revoked and the sign subject to abatement.

2. All signs together with their supports and appurtenances shall be maintained in good structural condition, in compliance with applicable building and electrical codes, and in conformance with this chapter. Maintenance of a sign includes periodic cleaning, replacement of flickering, burned out or broken light bulbs or fixtures, repair or replacement of any faded, peeled, cracked, or otherwise damaged or broken parts of a sign, and any other activity necessary to restore the sign so that it continues to comply with the requirements and contents of the sign permit issued for its installation and provisions of this chapter.

3. All signs and supporting structures shall be kept in repair and in proper state of preservation. The display surfaces of all signs shall be kept neatly painted and clean. The immediate surrounding premises shall be maintained free of weeds and rubbish. The community development director is authorized to order the painting, cleaning or repair of signs which become dilapidated and the cleaning of the immediate premises. Such maintenance shall be completed within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice.

4. Required landscaped areas contained by a fixed border, curbed area, wall, or other perimeter structure shall receive regular repair and maintenance. Plant materials that do not survive after installation in required landscape areas are required to be replaced within three months.

5. The chief building official has the authority to order the repair, maintenance, or removal of any sign or sign structure that has not been maintained and is dangerous or in disrepair, or which is erected or maintained contrary to the requirements of this section.

6. Failure to maintain a sign constitutes a violation of this chapter and will be subject to enforcement action, in which case the chief building official may order the removal of any sign that is determined to be in disrepair or dangerous.

7. Any owner of a sign victimized by graffiti shall remove, repair, or repaint sign(s) within ten (10) days of the graffiti being applied or within ten (10) days of notification by the community development director, whichever event comes first, or the sign shall be subject to removal by the city at the owner’s expense.
