§ 3.3.3. Posted notice.

A.

General Requirements. When the provisions of this Code require that notice be posted on the subject property, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the public hearing or action the Applicant shall:

1.

Post the notice on signs that have been provided by the City;

2.

Place the signs on the property that is the subject of the application; and

3.

Ensure that the signs remain in place during the period leading up to and including the day of the public hearing.

B.

Placement of Signs.

1.

Except as to Right-of-Way and Access Easement Vacations (§ 3.11.4), where the property abuts public streets, trails, or other public rights-of-way, signs shall be placed along each abutting street, trail, or right-of-way in a manner that makes them clearly visible to neighboring residents and passers-by. At least one (1) sign shall be posted along each adjacent street. If the Community Development Director determines that such signs shall not provide adequate notice to neighbors or to others who may be affected by the application, the Community Development Director may require additional signs to be posted, and the Applicant shall post such additional signs.

2.

With respect to Right-of-Way and Access Easement Vacations (§ 3.11.4), at least one (1) sign shall be posted upon, or in the immediate vicinity of, the right-of-way or access easement to be vacated. If the Community Development Director determines that such sign(s) shall not provide adequate notice, the Community Development Director may require additional signs to be posted, and the Applicant shall post such additional signs.

3.

In the case of a City-initiated rezoning involving a property in single ownership, the City shall post one (1) sign in the adjacent right-of-way.

4.

Applicants shall remove all notification signs within one (1) week after the public hearing.

C.

Posting Log/Maintenance of Signs.

1.

The Applicant shall be responsible for checking the posted signs each day of the posting period and for keeping a log, to be filed with the City at the time of, or prior to, any public hearing on the matter.

2.

If a sign has been removed, destroyed, or has fallen, the sign shall be replaced by the Applicant within 48 hours or by the close of the next business day, whichever period is longer.

3.

The Applicant shall sign a statement that the sign(s) were checked daily by the Applicant or the Applicant's representative, and the above-stated procedures were followed.

4.

Failure to comply with the required posting procedure may require the public hearing to be rescheduled. Such delays shall not prejudice the City regarding the City's compliance with required times to act set forth in this Code.

D.

City-Initiated Rezoning That Affects Multiple Ownership. The posting of signs shall not be required when an amendment to the Official Zoning Map is initiated by the City and affects multiple ownerships. At the City's option, notice of a rezoning that affects multiple ownerships may be "posted" at City Hall.
