ORDINANCE NO. 1827
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
AMENDING TITLE 22 (SIGN CODE) TO EXEMPT CERTAIN POLE SIGNS IN THE
SL DISTRICT FROM COMPLIANCE, AMEND THE MAXIMUM HEIGHTS
ALLOWED FOR MONUMENT SIGNS IN THE RR, C4, AND C-2 DISTRICTS, AND
CORRECT REFERENCE FOR WALL SIGN AREA
The CITY COUNCIL of the CITY OF BURLINGAME does hereby ordain as follows:
Section 1.
In 2007, the City adopted a comprehensive revision of the City's Sign Code (Title 22).
Silice adoption, the City has identified some inconsistencies in the regulation of monument signs
in the RR, C-1, and C-2 Districts. This ordinance addresses those inconsistencies. The
ordinance also corrects references for wall sign area in the RR, IB, and APS Districts. In
addition, property owners with existing pole signs in the SL District are faced with irregular lot
lines and patterns of development that often require lot line adjustments or splits in order to
properly develop or finance the properties. This ordinance would allow off-site advertising of
the adjacent businesses on an existing pole sign following such a lot line adjustment or split, but
only under very specific circumstances and conditions.
Section 2. Subsection 22.14.050(a) (C-1 & C-R Districts) is amended to read as follows:
(a) One two-sided freestanding monument sign shall be permitted on a parcel frontage
of
one hundred (100) feet or greater based on the following criteria and subject to the standards in
chapter 22.34. Two two-sided freestanding monument signs shall be permitted on a parcel
frontage of at least three hundred (300) feet based on the following criteria and subject to the
standards in chapter 22.34. Three (3) two-sided freestanding monument signs shall be permitted
on a parcel frontage of four hundred (400) feet or greater based on the following criteria and
subject toIthe
standards in chapter 22.34.
