Full Breakdown

Article II of chapter 90 sets separate sign standards for the downtown district described in Sec. 90-25, bounded by Frazier Street on the west, Phillips Street on the north, Pacific Street on the east, and the BNSF railway on the south. Sec. 90-27 defines a window sign as one painted on or affixed to or behind a window in a way that allows it to be viewed from a public place, and window signs are one of the limited sign forms permitted in the district under Sec.

90-28, alongside wall, door, canopy, wall-mounted projecting and shingle signs. Sec. 90-29(c) then fixes the coverage limit: not more than 50 percent of the area of a window may be occupied by window signs. The same section also caps wall signs at 50 percent of wall area, door signs at 25 percent of door area, and restricts outdoor sign colors in the district to black, white, brown or other approved earth tones. Outdoor neon signs are barred in the district, though indoor neon visible through a storefront window is not, and pole, pylon, freestanding, roof-top and other attention-getting devices are prohibited outright under Sec. 90-28(c). Traffic signs, government-erected signs, and utility notices are exempt from the article.

Violations & Fines

Exceeding the 50 percent window coverage limit, displaying a prohibited sign form (such as a freestanding pylon sign, banner or outdoor neon sign) inside the downtown district, or using colors outside the approved earth-tone palette is a violation enforced by the building official under the city's general Code of Ordinances penalty provisions, which allow fines and require correction of the nonconforming sign.
