A. All signs located within a commercial, industrial,
or office district and within six hundred sixty feet of a
"landscaped freeway," measured from the edge of right-of-
way, shall be oriented to the regular street system adjoining
the property rather than to an orientation that is exclusively
visible from the freeway. Signs may be oriented to the
freeway, subject to the approval of the Planning
Commission.
B. Signs must be intended for company identification
purposes only, be building mounted, and not exceed the size
limitations for building mounted signs otherwise prescribed

17.24.180 Design Criteria.
Although the aesthetic appearance of signs is
subjective, the City recognizes that certain basic design
guidelines are needed in order to maintain the City's high
quality appearance. The following criteria shall be
incorporated into the design of signs.
A. Ground signs shall be either housed in a frame or
set onto a base, presenting a solid, attractive, well
proportioned and balanced appearance. The size and shape
of the frame or base shall be proportionate to the size and
weight of the sign. Low signs are generally more
appropriate on a base, whereas taller signs are generally
more appropriate in a frame. (See Appendix A-2, Examples
of Well Proportioned Signs, Examples of Signs Not Well
Proportioned, at the end of this title, for examples.)
B. Ground signs shall be located within a landscaped
area proportionate to the size of the sign. Appropriate
landscaping should be placed at the base of the sign.

architectural style of the building with which it is principally
associated, by incorporating its colors, materials, shape and
design. The sign shall also be compatible with the aesthetic
character of the surrounding developments and
neighborhood.
D. Background panels should be consistent in muted
colors.
E. Sign copy shall be simple and concise, without
excessive description of services or products.
F. Wall signs shall not project above the eaves of the
roof or top of parapet.

produce distraction to motorists or nearby residents. (Ord.

B. The intensity of illumination for signs located
within the commercial, office and industrial districts shall
not exceed approximately two hundred fifty foot-lamberts.
All other districts shall not exceed approximately one
hundred foot-lamberts. The foot-lambert readings shall be
used as a guide by staff to evaluate signs which are deemed
to be a problem to passing motorists or residents in the
surrounding neighborhood.
C. The color and thickness of the sign panels as well
as the brightness of the bulbs used to illuminate the sign
shall be designed in such a manner as to avoid excessive
illumination and glare.
D. Illuminated signs which are not a necessary part
of the security lighting system for a business shall be turned

statuary, and shall only approve decorative statuary which
is made an integral part of the site design and theme of the
use or business. If the Design Review Committee
determines that the decorative statuary is considered fine art,
the Design Review Committee may refer review of the
decorative statuary to another commission. Decorative
statuary that is not publicly visible is exempt from the
requirements of this section.(Ord. 1987, (part), 2006; Ord.

17.24.220 Signs near Residences.

district shall be located closer than one hundred feet from
