§ 27-579. Permit required.

(a)

Except as otherwise provided in this article, no sign within the city shall be constructed, erected, operated, used, maintained, enlarged, illuminated, or substantially altered without first obtaining a permit as provided in this section.

(b)

A separate application for a permit shall be made for each separate advertising sign or advertising structure, on a form furnished by the city manager.

(c)

The application for a permit shall describe the size, shape, and nature of the proposed advertisement, advertising sign or advertising structure, and its actual or proposed locations with sufficient accuracy to ensure its proper identification.

(d)

The application for a permit shall be signed by the applicant or his authorized agent and by the property owner, if different than the property owner, or his authorized agent.

(e)

For multiple occupancy complexes, individual occupants may apply for a sign permit, but they shall be issued in the name of the lot owner or agent, rather than in the name of the individual occupants. The lot owner, and not the city, shall be responsible for allocating allowable sign area to individual occupants.
