Chapter 18.68 - OUTDOOR ADVERTISING STRUCTURES

Sections:

18.68.010 - Purpose.

A.

In enacting the provisions of Sections 18.68.010 through 18.68.030, the city council has determined that outdoor advertising structures:

1.

Are, or may be, incompatible with the surrounding and adjacent uses resulting in a diminution in the value of both improved and unimproved adjacent properties; and

2.

Require, or may require, the provision of municipal services disproportionate to the tax revenues therefrom; and

3.

Impair, or may impair, the desirability of adjacent residential and commercial areas, thereby undermining, to some degree, the social and economic stability of the city; and

4.

Discourage, or may discourage, the location of business and industry within the city, impeding the economic development of the community; and

5.

Prevent, or may prevent, optimum land utilization, thereby impeding community planning and renewal objectives; and

6.

Impose, or may impose, social gains resulting therefrom.

B.

Accordingly, the provisions of Sections 18.68.010 through 18.68.030 are necessary, and are required to protect the public interest, convenience and necessity, in order to eliminate, insofar as possible, the problems above referred to.
