SECTION 1001
PURPOSE
1001.1 Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to protect the
safety and orderly development of the community through the
regulation of signs and sign structures.
SECTION 1002
DEFINITIONS
1002.1 Definitions. The following words and terms shall, for
the purposes of this chapter and as used elsewhere in this code,
have the meanings shown herein.
ABANDONED SIGN. A sign structure that has ceased to be
used, and the owner intends no longer to have used, for the dis-
play of sign copy, or as otherwise defined by state law.
ANIMATED SIGN. A sign employing actual motion or the il-
lusion of motion. Animated signs, which are differentiated
from changeable signs as defined and regulated by this code,
include the following types:
Electrically activated. Animated signs producing the illu-
sion of movement by means of electronic, electrical or elec-
lro- mechanical input and/or illumination capable of
simulating movement through employment of the charac-
teristics of one or both of the classifications noted below:
1. Flashing. Animated signs or animated portions of
signs whose illumination is characterized by a repeti-
tive cycle in which the period of illumination is either
the same as or less than the period of nonillumination.
For the purposes of this ordinance, flashing will not be
defined as occurring if the cyclical period between on-
off phases of illumination exceeds 4 seconds.
2. Patterned illusionary movement. Animated signs or
animated portions of signs whose illumination is
characterized by simulated movement through alter-
nate or sequential activation of various illuminated el-
ements for the purpose of producing repetitive light
patterns designed to appear in some form of constant
motion.
Environmentally activated. Animated signs or devices
motivated by wind, thermal changes or other natural envi-
ronmental input. Includes spinners, pinwheels, pennant
strings, and/or other devices or displays that respond to nat-
urally occurring external motivation.
Mechanically activated. Animated signs characterized by
repetitive motion and/or rotation activated by a mechanical
system powered by electric motors or other mechanically
induced means.
ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTION. Any projection that is
not intended for occupancy and that extends beyond the face of
an exterior wall ofa building, but that does not include signs as
CHAPTER 10
SIGN REGULATIONS
defined herein. See also "Awning"; "Backlit awning"; and
"Canopy, attached and freestanding"
AWNING. An architectural projection or shelter projecting
from and supported by the exteriodwall ofa building and com-
posed ofa covering of rigid or nonrigid materials and/or fabric
on a supporting framework that may be either permanent or re-
tractable, including such structure's that are internally illumi-
nated by fluorescent or other light sources.
AWNING SIGN. A sign displayed on or attached flat against
the surface or surfaces of an awning. See also "Wall or fascia
sign."
BACKLIT AWNING. An awning' with a translucent covering
material and a source of illumination contained within its
framework.
BANNER. A flexible substrate on which copy or graphics may
be displayed.
BANNER SIGN. A sign utilizing a banner as its display sur-
face.
BILLBOARD. See "Off- premise sign" and "Outdoor adver-
tising sign."
BUILDING ELEVATION. The entire side ofa building, from
ground level to the roofline, as viewed perpendicular to the
walls on that side of the building.
CANOPY (Attached). A multisided overhead structure or ar-
chitectural projection supported by attachments to a building
on one or more sides and either cantilevered from such building
or also supported by columns at additional points. The sur-
face(s) and/or soffit of an attached canopy may be illuminated
by means of internal or external sources of light. See also "Mar-
quee."
CANOPY (Free standing). A multisided overhead structure
supported by columns, but not enclosed by walls. The sur-
face(s) and or soffit of a free- standing canopy may be illumi-
nated by means of internal or external sources of light.
CANOPY SIGN. A sign affixed to the visible surface(s) of an
attached or free standing canopy. For reference, see Section
1003.
CHANGEABLE SIGN. A sign with the capability of content
change by means of manual or remote input, including signs
which are:
Electrically activated. Changeable sign whose message
copy or content can be changed by means of remote electri-
cally energized on -off switchi combinations of alpha-
betic or pictographic components arranged on a display
surface. Illumination may be integral to the components,
such as characterized by lamps or other light emitting de-
vices; or it may be from an external light source designed to
reflect off the changeable component display. See also
"Electronic message sign or center."
