Martinez Municipal Code Ch. 16.56 Subdivision Signs

Each subdivision within the City wherein the initial sales promotion is active may have two on-site signs not exceeding a surface area of 32 square feet each. In addition, upon application to the Board of Adjustments, subdivisions in locations which are difficult to reach or describe may be permitted one to four off-site directional signs, each not exceeding a surface area of 8 square feet. Under no circumstances shall two or more such signs be combined into a larger sign. The Board of Adjustments shall make the following findings prior to approving any off-site signs:

A. The proposed subdivision location is difficult to reach or describe, and off-site directional signing is essential for reasonable sales and development;

B. Each proposed directional sign is essential for the potential purchaser to reach the site;

C. The proposed signing concept, two on-site and up to four off-site, is the total signing planned for the subdivision, inside and outside the City limits, within the Martinez planning area. In the event the signing plan approved by the Board of Adjustments is exceeded at any time, the building official shall immediately order the removal of all off-site signs for the particular project within the City.
