Banners used to advertise community interest events are allowed at designated areas as approved by the city. The banner advertisement may not be an advertisement of the organization or its products, religious events, political events, or commercial product sales or events.
Banners are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis, based on a completed application date. Requests must be received a minimum of three weeks prior to the date the banners will be installed.
Banners are limited to a maximum time of two weeks, beginning on a Monday. Applicants are allowed four events per year.
Banners shall be no greater than 30 feet in width and no greater than three and one-half feet in height. The approved message shall appear on both sides of the banner. No greater than 15 percent of the sign area, per side, may include advertisement of the sign sponsor(s).
Installation and removal of the banners shall be the sole responsibility of the applicant and the installer approved by the city. Installation and removal of banners shall be coordinated with other applicants when feasible.
The applicant shall repair or remove their banner when notified by the city that the banner may pose a danger to public safety due to banner deterioration. If the applicant fails to remove the banner within five days, staff shall remove the banner or cause it to be removed, and will bill the applicant for the cost of removal.
