§ 21.54.010. Purpose.

Latest version.

Billboards are recognized as a legitimate form of commercial use in the City. However, the size, number, location and illumination of billboards can have significant influence on the City's visual environment, and can, without adequate control, create or contribute to blighted conditions. The purpose of this Chapter is to provide reasonable billboard control, recognizing that community appearance is an important factor in ensuring the general community welfare. Additionally, it is the purpose of this Chapter to eventually eliminate nonconforming billboards from the City, especially in residential zoning districts and other sensitive areas, through the creation of incentives for the development of conforming billboards linked to requirements for removal of nonconforming billboards in exchange.
