Redwood City Municipal Code § 3.149 Right to Permit; Appeal

The Administrator shall prepare and make available to members of the public an application for a permit, which shall, when fully approved, constitute a permit and indicate the City's consent, in its proprietary capacity, for placement of a sign on City property. The applicant for the permit must be the same person or entity who is to be the owner of the sign and who shall be responsible for its removal when required. The processing fee for each application, which shall not be refundable even if the application is denied, shall be the same as the fee for a sign permit under the sign ordinance, as that fee currently exists or may be amended from time to time. The application form shall require the applicant to state that they shall abide by the City's policies, as well as any special terms or conditions which may be stated on the permit, and to abide by any new or different conditions which may be imposed on all permittees who are similarly situated.

(Ord. No. 2309, § 2, 5-7-07)

Any permit issued in error may be summarily revoked by the Administrator by informing, in writing, the applicant of the nature of the error in issuance. Any applicant whose permit is revoked as issued in error may, at any time thereafter, submit a new permit application which cures any deficiencies in the original application. The application fee shall apply separately to each new application, but shall be waived when the original issuing error was caused by the City. When a permit is revoked, the permittee must remove the sign within seven (7) calendar days of the revocation. If the permittee does not do so, then the City may remove the sign and recover from the permittee the reasonable cost of removal, as may be set by resolution of the City Council. Such cost recovery may be a condition to any future or additional permits.

(Ord. No. 2309, § 2, 5-7-07)

An applicant who has an application that fully complies with the terms and conditions of this Article shall be duly issued a permit. Applications which are denied or permits which are revoked or suspended may be appealed in the same manner as any sign-related decision under this Chapter.
