§ 46-204. Prohibited signs.

The following signs are prohibited by this Chapter:

1.

Any sign that, because of its size, location, movement, content, coloring, or manner of illumination, constitutes an obvious traffic hazard or a detriment to traffic safety by obstructing or detracting from the visibility of any official traffic-control device.

2.

Any sign that contains or is an imitation of an official traffic sign or signal, except for private traffic direction or traffic control.

3.

Any sign that contains blinking, flashing, or traveling lights or that displays an electronic message, unless otherwise permitted in Sections 46-205 and 46-206.

4.

Any sign that, for 30 consecutive days, has directed attention to a product, place, activity, person, institution, or business that was formerly but is no longer in operation or existence on the premises.

5.

Any portable or temporary sign or signs of a type not defined in Section 46-202.

6.

Beacon lights used in connection with a sign or to draw attention to any property or event.

7.

Illuminated signs that permit light to shine directly upon adjacent property in a way that is either objectionable or constitutes an unreasonable interference with the use of the adjoining property or the use of an adjoining public street.

8.

No business shall be permitted to have more than three permitted signs that are visible to the public from a public street or from a parking area, except on-premises directional signs.

9.

The use of vehicles or equipment for signs except where the primary purpose of such vehicle or equipment is not the display of signs. As used herein, the primary purpose of any such vehicle or equipment shall not be considered as being for the display of signs where the signs are painted upon or directly applied to an integral part of the vehicle or equipment and the vehicle or equipment is in operating condition, currently registered and licensed to operate on public streets when applicable, and actively used in the daily function of the business to which such signs relate.
