"Sign"
shall mean any and all devices, fixtures, structures, construction,

a sign. A sign structure may be a single pole or multiple poles or
may be designed as an integral part of the building, or any combination
thereof.
A "commercial sign"
conveys a message which proposes a commercial transaction
expressly related solely to the economic interests of the business
person and the public; as may further be defined by judicial decision.
An "ancillary commercial sign"
conveys a message of a commercial nature that is related
to a lawful, residential use; for example, without limitation, a message
that announces the sale, rental, or lease of residential property,
a garage/yard sale, a reward for a lost animal, or a civic fund raising
event, or a message announcing an on-site security system.
An "off-site message"

activity not occurring at the site of the sign, identification of
a product not available at the site of the sign, or identification
of property located elsewhere.

of the following criteria:

Display space on the sign is routinely rented, leased or donated
to advertisers other than the owner or operator of the sign.
"Noncommercial sign"

to a business, product or service, or propose an economic transaction.
Typical examples include signs whose message addresses a topic of
public concern or controversy such as, by way of example and not limitation,
politics, religion, philosophy, science, art or social commentary.
Any distinctions as to "on-site" or "off-site" do not apply to non-commercial
signs.

sign shall be posted, erected or maintained:

or access to public street such as driveways.

to relocate presently existing legal billboards, as long as such billboards

Code Section 5412. This prohibition does not apply to presently existing
billboards which complied with all legal requirements at the time
of installation.
M. Message
Substitution. Subject to the property owner's consent, any noncommercial
message may be substituted, in whole or in part, for any legally existing
commercial message or any legally existing noncommercial message,
provided that the sign structure or mounting device is legal without
consideration of message content. In addition, any unused allowance
for signage may be used for temporary display of any non-commercial
message; a permit for such signage is required only when a new sign
qualifies as a structure within the meaning of the Building Code.
Substitution of message may be made without any additional approval
or permitting. The purpose of this provision is to prevent any favoring
of commercial speech over noncommercial speech, or favoring of any
particular noncommercial message over any other noncommercial message.
This provision does not create a right to exceed the total amount
of permanent signage on a site or parcel; it does not create a right
to substitute an off-site commercial message in place of an on-site
commercial message, or in place of a noncommercial message; it does
not affect the requirement that a sign structure or mounting device
be properly permitted; and it does not authorize changing the physical
method of message display without a permit. Message substitution is
a continuing right that may be exercised any number of times.
