A. Construction Site Signs. Temporary signs are permitted on construction sites as follows: one sign for each property for which an active building permit exists on the property where the construction is occurring, including on any fence bordering on a street or public right-of-way.

Construction site signs shall comply with the general provisions for signs set forth in Section 15.36.030.

Such signs must include the numerical street number for the site in contrasting typeface not less than four nor more than eight inches in height unless such numbers already exist on the property and are readily visible from the street, contact information including the telephone number for the person responsible for the site during construction such as the general contractor, if any, and may include the name, address, and phone number of related construction, architectural, and financial firms.

All information must be contained within the borders of the sign and no additional signs may be appended to this one permitted sign. The maximum sign area does not include any support posts or decorative projections of the post or rails, but the posts or rails may not have any additional signage appended to them.

Construction site signs shall be temporary in nature, and must be removed within fifteen days after issuance of the final certificate of occupancy or the end of the construction time limit, whichever is sooner.

B. Real Estate Signs. Real estate signs are permitted as follows: one sign for each property that is then currently for sale, lease, or rent, either on the property or in the public right-of-way.

Real estate signs shall comply with the general provisions for signs set forth in Section 15.36.030.

No sign in the right-of-way shall impede the flow of pedestrians or interfere with vehicle line of sight. Such sign must be on or immediately adjacent to the property that is for sale.

No real estate sign shall be affixed to trees or shrubs, nor be illuminated directly or indirectly.

Temporary “open house” freestanding signs may be used in conjunction with a real estate sign when the premises for sale, lease, or rent is occupied by a real estate professional who is authorized to show the property, with no more than two such open house signs located at the nearest intersections to the property and one such sign located at the property being offered for sale. Such off-site signs shall be kept to the minimum necessary to direct the public to the site of the open house showing and may be used only on the day of the open house event. Temporary “open house” freestanding signs are limited to open house events only and may be placed on Saturdays and Sundays only. (Ord. 611 § 1 (part), 2014)
