TEMPORARY SIGNAGE FOR CITY-SPONSORED,
CO- SPONSORED OR FOR NON - PROFIT AND CHARITABLE
ORGANIZATIONS AND EVENTS
PURPOSE
K -11
The purpose of this policy is to establish definitive standards and to set forth City policy
concerning the administration, control and placement of temporary off -site and on -site
signs, which recognize City- sponsored, co-sponsored or charitable organizations and
events at various locations or facilities within our community. It is not the desire of the
City Council to promote a facility, event, or activity that is not located within the
community.
The Zoning Code allows off -site signs in a commercial or industrial district with first
securing approval through the Modification Permit process. It is the desire of the City
Council, however, to obviate that process by recognizing and allowing the use of
temporary off -site and temporary on -site banners for appropriate organizations and
their activities.
In cases involving City- sponsored, co- sponsored or charitable organizations there is a
need to allow for the placement of temporary off -site or on -site banners. Therefore, if a
nexus exists between the location of the event or facility and the location of the off -site
or on -site sign, then it would be the City Council's desire to allow such off -site or on -site
signage with the first securing and approval of a temporary sign permit.
POLICY
It is the policy of the City Council to allow temporary off -site or on -site signage on
public property for City- sponsored, co- sponsored or charitable organizations and
events at various locations or facilities within the community subject to the following
standards:
The size of the sign shall not exceed 100 square feet in area.
The temporary sign shall be allowed to remain in place for a period not to exceed
90 days.
One temporary sign per site shall be allowed.
The event being promoted shall be for an event within the City of Newport
Beach.
