The City Council may authorize a Conditional Sign Permit in accordance with
the following provisions of the Sign Ordinance No. 704-C, Section 9,
Conditional Sign Permit:
GENERAL
: Notwithstanding anything in this ordinance to the contrary, the
erection of a sign or signs may be approved pursuant to this section under a
conditional sign permit approved by the City Council. The purpose of this
section is to allow for a specialized review of signs which may not be
appropriate generally without certain restrictions, but which, if controlled as to
the number, size, height, color, location, lighting, or relation to adjacent
properties, would promote the health, safety, and welfare of the community.
Conditional permitting of signs shall not be based upon the content of the
sign, but is intended to allow for the evaluation of the physical impact of the
proposed sign on adjacent properties and to ensure adequate mitigation of
potentially unfavorable factors, such as the number, size, height, color,
location, lighting, and other potentially unfavorable impacts.
