05/07/2007 UNSAFE SIGN: A sign posing an immediate peril or reasonably foreseeable threat of injury or damage to persons or property by virtue of the condition of the physical structure of the sign, its location or its mounting or support mechanism. VISIBILITY TRIANGLE: The area encompassed by the triangle formed by projecting lines from the point of intersection (corner) of the back edges of the sidewalks of the intersecting streets, or of the intersecting back edge of the sidewalk with the edges of the driveway or alley, as the case may be, fifteen (15) feet along said edges, and by closing said triangle with a line connecting the termini of said project lines. Where no sidewalk exists, the triangle shall be projected using the property line or lines as needed in place of the back edge of the sidewalk. As used in this definition, "back edge of the sidewalk" refers to the sidewalk edge closest to the property line. WALL SIGN: A sign painted on or attached to a building wall, which extends not more than twelve (12) inches from the building face. A sign extending over twelve (12) inches from a building shall be considered a projecting sign. WARNING SIGN: A sign that conveys a message of caution, danger or warning. Examples of warning signs include, but are not limited to, "Danger High Voltage," "No Dumping," and "No Trespassing" signs. WINDOW AREA: The area within any window pane or group of window panes contained entirely within glazing separators (muting mullions, piers, columns, etc.) of one and one quarter (1 ~) inches or greater in width. Multiple window panes divided by glazing separators less than one and one quarter (1 %) inches in width shall be considered to be a single window area. WORKING DAY: A day on which City Hall is open to the public during normal business hours. ZONING ORDINANCE: Ordinance No. 1130, the Redwood City Zoning Ordinance, as amended, revised or superseded from time to time. DIVISION THREE. PERMITS Sec. 3.61. PERMIT REQUIREMENT: Unless otherwise provided in this Article, no person shall install, erect, display, alter, move or replace any nonexempt sign without first obtaining a sign permit issued by the City in accordance with this Division. In processing a sign permit application, the City shall not evaluate the graphic design or message of the sign face; this provision does not prevent the City from denying a permit for a billboard or for a sign displaying off-site commercial messages. A permit is required whenever there is a change of use or a change of establishment at the property on which the sign is placed, which also involves a change to the signage or copy on a permanent sign. Signage rights and duties apply to specific uses at specific locations and cannot be transferred from one location to another. Atty/Ord/Ord.211 032007 16 Ord 2309 formerly Muff # 305
