D. Temporary Off-Site Directional Signs.

As such, the city may allow temporary off-site directional signs within the public right-of-way as described below. 1. When Allowed. Temporary off-site directional signs are allowed to provide enhanced wayfinding to any development project under construction or not yet occupied on a site of two acres or more. 2. Location. Temporary off-site directional signs may be located within park strips between the curb and sidewalk or behind the sidewalk within the public right-of-way. 3. Permit Required. a.

Applications for temporary off-site directional signs shall show the proposed location of signs in addition to all required fees, information, and materials as specified by the development services department. c. Temporary use permits shall be valid for one year and may extended in accordance with Section 18.104.210 (Time Limits and Extensions). d. The city may revoke the temporary use permit at any time if the signs threaten the public health, safety, and welfare. 4. Number and Size of Signs. a. A maximum of thirty off-site directional signs are permitted per project. b. Each sign may have an area of no more than four square feet per side and a height of no more than four feet. 5. Sign Material and Design. a. Signs shall be constructed of flexible and weatherproof plastic or reinforced paper material that is permanently attached to a plastic or wooden stake.
