Sections:
19.37.010 Purpose
19.37.020 Definition and Removal of Legally Non Conforming Permanent Signs
19.37.030 Non Conforming Sign Permits
W: \Word Processing \Ordinances \Sign Code update 5 -16 -12
BM:bjs Page 8 of 12
19.37.040 Non Conforming Temporary Signs
19.37.050 Additional Signage Prohibited
19.37.010 Purpose
The purpose of this chapter is to establish limits on the use of and requirements for the
removal of non conforming signs within areas of the City that were annexed after May 1,
2012. Subject to the remaining restrictions of this chapter, non conforming signs that
were otherwise lawful on the effective date of the annexation may remain subject to the
limitations under this chapter. The provisions of this chapter do not apply to billboards
within annexation areas.
19.37.020 Definition and Removal of Legally Non Conforming Permanent Signs
A. All permanent signs within annexation areas are considered legally non-
conforming if the sign was erected in conformance with a valid permit, if a permit was
required, and complied with all applicable laws at the time of the sign's installation.
Non conforming rights are not granted to temporary signs or signs that were in violation
of King County ordinances or regulations of the State of Washington. The burden of
establishing that a sign is non conforming lies solely with the individual asserting the
claim that a sign is non conforming.
B. Any monument sign installed within an annexation area that exceeds Sign
Code standards as to sign area, height or setback by 15 percent or less shall be
deemed a conforming sign.
C. Grace Period for Permanent Signs in Annexation Areas. Signs that were
installed within the annexation area prior to the effective date of the City's annexation
and became non conforming upon annexation in the City, may be issued a non-
conforming sign permit that will allow the signs to remain for 10 years from the effective
date of the annexation. This 10 -year period shall be known as the "annexation grace
period."
D. Sign Modifications During the Annexation Grace Period. During the annexation
grace period, signs with non conforming sign permits may be refaced and the panel or
copy changed, provided the area, height and location of the sign remain unchanged. A
non conforming sign permit will be issued for work covered under this section.
Permanent signs and sign structures that are moved, replaced or structurally altered
must be brought into conformance with the current Sign Code regulations.
E. Sign Modifications After the Annexation Grace Period. After the annexation
grace period, the sign is permitted to remain as -is indefinitely. However, relocation, re-
erection, alteration, replacement or change in any way to a legal, non conforming sign,
including the structure or sign panel /face /copy, will require the sign be brought into
compliance with the sign code in effect at the time of submittal of a complete sign permit
application.

BM:bjs Page 9 of 12
19.37.030 Non Conforming Sign Permits
A. Non Conforming Sign Inventory. The Director shall, as soon as practicable
after the effective date of the annexation, survey the annexation area for signs that do
not conform to the requirements of Title 19. Upon determination that a sign is non-
conforming or illegal, the Director shall use reasonable efforts to notify the sign owner,
in writing and, where practicable, the owner of the property on which the sign is located.
Notification shall include:
1. Whether the sign is non conforming or illegal.
2. Whether the sign may be eligible for a non conforming sign permit. If the
identity of the sign owner cannot be determined after reasonable inquiry, the notice may
be affixed in a conspicuous place on the sign or on the business premises with which
the sign is associated. The failure of the City to identify the sign owner shall not relieve
the property owner from the requirements of this section.
B. Non Conforming Sign Permits.
1. Eligibility. A non conforming sign permit may be issued only in accordance
with the standards listed in this chapter.
2. Permit Required. A non conforming sign permit is required for all eligible
non conforming signs within the annexation areas. The sign owner shall obtain the
permit within 180 days of notification by the City. Sign permits shall be obtained for any
panel or copy change allowed during the annexation grace period. There is no permit
fee for the issuance of the non conforming sign permit.
3. Applications. Applications for a non conforming sign permit shall contain
the name and address of the sign user, the sign owner and the owner of the property
upon which the sign is located, and such other pertinent information as the Director may
require to ensure compliance with this chapter. The Director may waive specific
submittal requirements determined to be unnecessary for review of an application.
4. Failure to Respond. It is the sign owner and /or property owner's
responsibility to return the non conforming sign permit to the City within the 180 days of
notice as outlined in this section. Failure to respond will constitute a waiver of any
grace period provided to the sign under this chapter and modifications to the sign will be
controlled by TMC Section 19.36.030.
5. Permit Issuance. Any person submitting an application for a non-
conforming sign permit shall use the forms provided by the Department. The Director
shall issue non conforming sign permits upon a determination of eligibility. The Director
may require the filing of plans or other pertinent information where such information is
necessary to determine compliance with this chapter. Appeals shall be filed in
accordance with TMC Section 19.12.120.
W: \Word Processing \Ordinances \Sign Code update 5 -16 -12
BM:bjs Page 10 of 12
C. Loss of Legal Non conforming Status. Non conforming signs shall be brought
into compliance with this chapter upon the occurrence of one or more of the following
events:

design review, any non conforming building- mounted signs on the premise affected by
the construction and all non conforming free standing signs lose their non conforming
status.

4. Damage of 25 percent or more in the value of either the non conforming

A. Non conforming temporary signs in annexation areas must be removed within
120 days of the effective date of the annexation.
B. Commercial real estate signs in existence in the annexation area prior to the

code.
19.37.050 Additional Signage Prohibited

contains a non conforming sign. No additional permanent freestanding signs are
permitted on a premises that contains a non conforming freestanding sign.

corrections to the ordinance, including correction of clerical errors; references to other
local, state or federal laws, codes rules, or regulations; or ordinance numbering and
section /subsection numbering.

or phrase of this ordinance or its application to any person or situation should be held to
