12.22.100 Master sign plan option.
Approval of a master sign plan shall be an option for retail, commercial, business park and industrial developments containing more than one tenant or business. The purpose of the master sign plan option is to simplify the sign permit process for multitenant/business developments. The master sign plan process allows all signs within a multitenant/business development to be reviewed and approved concurrently, thereby eliminating the need for individual sign permit applications for individual tenants/businesses. The following criteria shall apply:
A. Application for approval of a master sign plan shall be made and processed concurrently with the project application to construct the associated development, except that existing multitenant or multibusiness developments desiring to achieve conformance with this code shall be permitted to apply for a master sign plan retroactively. Submittal requirements shall be as per BMC 12.22.130.
B. Review of signs contained within the master sign plan shall consist of sign location, size, type, number, height, setback, and illumination, in accordance with the requirements contained within this chapter and within any applicable subarea sign regulations.
C. Approval of a master sign plan shall constitute approval for all individual signs contained within said plan with regards to the elements specified in BMC 12.22.140. No further review by the city for consistency with these elements shall be required. In order to document consistency with the approved master sign plan, individual tenants/businesses shall file with the city one copy of the appropriate sign plans for all signs within the approved master sign plan applicable to that tenant/business. Submittal requirements shall be per BMC 12.22.130.
D. A master sign plan is a Type I permit and shall be processed as such pursuant to BMC Title 11.
E. Minor revisions to an approved master sign plan may be granted by the director; provided, that no variation from the requirements of this chapter and any applicable subarea sign regulations are made. (Ord. 1905 § 1, 2003; Ord. 1805 § 2, 2000).
