City Ordinance 153.08, part of City Code in the Title XV: Land Usage section, restricts the placement of signage in rights-of-way and boulevards without a permit. The ordinance provides guidelines for signs within city limits to “protect and promote health, safety, general welfare and order” which helps ensure city boulevards maintain safe sightlines for drivers and pedestrians. It also helps maintain aesthetics in the community and helps protect underground utilities. It states, “No signs other than governmental signs shall be erected or temporarily placed within any street right-of-way or upon any public lands or easements or rights-of-way.” Signs in public rights-of-way that violate this ordinance are removed by City staff.
