§ 47-22.8. Special sign districts.

Merchants occupying sixty percent (60%) or more of the street frontage of properties on both sides of a street in any area defined by such merchants may petition for the formation of a special sign district for such area. A committee of property owners or persons having the right of possession shall be chosen by such merchants to represent them, such committee to be limited to ten (10) members. Such committee shall comprise the governing body of the sign district and shall establish criteria for signs in the district, such criteria to be no less restrictive than the terms and conditions established by the ULDR. Such criteria may be recommended to the city commission for incorporation into the ULDR, and shall have no force or effect unless so incorporated. The city clerk shall give ten (10) days' notice to all owners or persons having the right of possession within the boundaries of such district that such criteria will be submitted to the city commission for incorporation into the ULDR. The city commission may, however, totally or partially reject any such criteria.
