are subject to the general standards of this section.
• B. Planned Sign Programs. Planned sign program review is
required, per the provisions of Section 9.160.090D, for
submissions which: (1) include three or more permanent
signs; (2) are in conjunction with review of a site development
permit by the planning commission; or (3) include a request
for a sign adjustment to a sign previously approved under a
planned sign program.
• C. Interpretation of Provisions. Where a matter of
interpretation arises regarding the provisions of this chapter,

General Sign Standards (cont'd):
• D. Application of Standards. If the director determines that a
staff -reviewed sign does not conform to one or more of the
general standards set forth in this section, the applicant shall
be given the option of modifying the sign or applying for a
minor adjustment.
• E. Measurement of Sign Area. Sign area shall be measured
as follows:
1. Basic Rule. Sign size or area shall be defined as the entire
area of the sign face, including nonstructural perimeter trim
but excluding structures or uprights on which the sign is
supported.
2. Window Signs. Window sign area shall be considered to
be the entire area of any sign placed on or inside a window
and not painted directly on the glass. For signs painted
directly on the glass, area measurement shall be the same as
that for wall signs, following.

General Sign Standards cont'd :
3. Individual Letters. The area of wall or window signs
composed of individual letters painted on or otherwise affixed
to the wall or window shall be considered to be the area
within the single continuous perimeter encompassed by a
straight-line geometric figure which encloses the extreme
limits of the letters of other characters.
4. Double -Faced Signs. If a sign is double-faced with only
one face visible from any ground position at one time, its sign
area shall be considered to be the area of either face taken
separately. Thus, if the maximum permitted sign area is
twenty square feet, a double-faced sign may have an area of
twenty square feet per face.
5. Three -Dimensional Signs. If a sign has three or more
faces, its sign area shall be considered to be the sum of the
areas of each individual face. Thus, if a sign has four faces
and the maximum permitted sign area is twenty square feet,
the maximum allowable area for each face is only five square
feet.

General Sign Standards cont'd):
6. Separated -Panel Signs. The sign area of open or separated
panel signs, i.e., those signs having empty spaces between copy
panels, shall be considered to be the entire area encompassed
by the sign face, including the empty spaces between panels.
• F. Measurement of Sign Height. Sign height shall be measured
as follows:
1. Build -Mounted Signs. The height of building -mounted signs
shall be measured from the average finish grade directly beneath
the sign.
2. Freestanding Signs. The height of a freestanding sign shall be
measured from the top of curb of the nearest street (or the edge
of pavement of such street where there is no curb) to the top of
the sign or any vertical projection thereof, including supporting
columns and/or design elements. However, in cases where the
director determines that a freestanding sign is not oriented to any
particular street or is too far from such a street to reasonably
apply the foregoing standard, sign height shall be measured from
the average finish grade at the base of the sign.

General Sign Standards (cont'd):
G. Sign Placement.
1. Setback From Street. Freestanding signs shall not be
located within five feet of a street right-of-way nor within a
corner cutoff area identified in Section 9.100.030D.
2. No Off -Premise Signs. All signs shall be located on the
same premises as the land use or activity identified by the
sign, unless specifically permitted to be off -premises in this
chapter.
3. Utility Lines. No sign shall be located closer to overhead
utility lines than distance prescribed by California law or by
the rules duly promulgated by agencies of the state or by the
applicable public utility
4. Traffic Safety. No sign shall be located in such a manner
as to obstruct free and clear vision of pedestrian and
vehicular traffic.
5. Public Right -of -Way. No sign shall be located within, over
or across a public right-of-way unless specifically permitted in
this chapter.

General Sian Standards (cont'd):
• H. Illumination from or upon any sign shall be shaded, shielded,
directed or reduced so as to avoid undue brightness, glare or
reflection of light on private or public property in the surrounding area
so as to avoid unreasonably distracting pedestrians or motorists.
"Undue brightness" is illumination in excess of that which is
reasonably necessary to make the sign reasonably visible to the
average person on an adjacent street. Illuminated signs which face
or are adjacent to residentially zoned property shall be restricted to
minimize the illumination, glare or reflection of light which is visible
from the residentially zoned property.
I. Maintenance. Any sign displayed within the city, together with
supports, braces, guys, anchors, and electrical components, shall be
maintained in good physical condition, including the replacement of
defective parts. Exposed surfaces shall be kept clean, in good repair
and painted where paint is required. The community development
director may request the director of building and safety to order the
repair or removal of any sign determined by the director to be unsafe,
defective, damaged or substantially deteriorated.

General Sign Standards cont'd :
• J. Landscaping of Freestanding Signs. All freestanding signs shall
include, as part of their design, landscaping and/or hard-scaping
about their base so as to prevent vehicles from hitting the sign, to
improve the overall appearance of the installation, and to screen
light fixtures and other appurtenances. The applicant shall maintain
all landscape areas in a healthy and viable condition.
• K. Inspection. All sign owners and users shall permit the periodic
inspection of their signs by the city upon ten days' notice.
• L. Specific Plan Standards to Apply. Signs to be located within the
boundaries of a specific plan or other special design approval area
shall comply with the criteria established by such plan or area.
