CITY ATTORNEY DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO: City Clerk's Office Planning Department FROM : Kit Williams, City Attorney DATE : February 12, 2007 RE : Sign Ordinance §174.12(C) The section of the Sign Ordinance dealing with the display surface area for Wall Signs that was originally e-mailed to the City Clerk contained the old, unamended version. The correct version of that page is attached to this memo and has been e-mailed to the Clerk. This version was approved by the City Council and is somewhat more lenient in allowing larger wall signs and/or more coverage of a total wall by multiple tenants. This single subsection (§ 174 . 12 ( C } ) should probably be published and should be placed as the proper version on the City's website. We apologize for this error. ti TITLE XV UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE . : CHAPTER 174 : SIGNS 174.01 GENERAL REGULATIONS ...................................................................................................:........ 3 174.02 PERMIT APPLICATION/ISSUANCE............................................................................................... 3 174.03 EXEMPTIONS ....................................................................................................................:............. 4 174.04 SIGN IDENTIFICATION ................................................................................................................... 6 174.05 SIGN REMOVAL.............................................................................................................................. 6 174.06 NONCOMMERCIAL SIGNS ............................................................................................................ 6 174.07 PLACING SIGNS ON PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROPERTY.......................................................... 6 174.08 PROHIBITED SIGNS ....................................................................................................................... 7 174.09 SIGN ILLUMINATION ...................................................................................................................... 8 174.10 ON-SITE FREESTANDING SIGNS ................................................................................................. 8 174.11 PROJECTING SIGNS .................................................................................................................... 10 174.12 WALL SIGNS ................................................................................................................................. 10 174.13-174.99 RESERVED ........................................................................................................................ 11 CD174: 1 i EXHIBIT "A" TITLE XV UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER 174: SIGNS 174.01 General Regulations (6) Consent of owner.
