RMC 4-8-090 Public Notice Requirements
RMC 4-8 Permits—General and Appeals
Public Outreach Signs are intended to supplement information provided by Public Information Signs by allowing an
applicant to develop a personalized promotional message for the proposed development. The sign is also intended to
provide the public with a better sense of proposed development by displaying a colored rendering of the project and other
information that lends greater understanding of the project.
Public Outreach Signs are required for preliminary plat applications, Planned Urban Development applications, and
projects with an estimated value equal or greater than ten million dollars ($10,000,000), unless an exemption is approved
by the Administrator. Specific exemptions are provided for the construction or alteration of public facilities, the
construction or alteration of airplane manufacturing facilities, and development within the Employment Area Land Use
Designation.
SIGN SPECIFICATIONS:
1. Size and Appearance of Sign:
The sign must have a vertical dimension of four feet (4’) and a horizontal dimension of eight feet (8’). All signs shall be
prepared using templates, attachable lettering, or printed lettering; hand-drawn text is unacceptable.
2. Content of Sign:
At a minimum, the sign must include:
• The name of the proposed development;
• The site address;
• Consultants providing expertise with respect to the development (e.g., engineering, architecture, general contractor,
etc.);
• A brief description of the proposed development;
• A colored rendering of the proposed development (e.g., three-dimensional building elevation or a detailed site plan
for subdivisions);
• An estimated completion date; and
• Other information required by the Administrator.
3. Number, Placement, and Time of Display:
A minimum of one sign is required at each project site. Additional signs may be required for larger sites or for properties
with several street frontages. The sign shall be erected at the approximate midpoint of the site’s street frontage and within
five feet (5’) of the front lot line or as otherwise directed by the Department for maximum visibility. The sign(s) must be
erected in a location that is clearly visible and accessible from the right of way(s) abutting the subject property. The sign(s)
are prohibited from being located within any clear vision area. The sign must be installed prior to the application submittal.
The applicant shall provide the Planning Division with a notarized “Affidavit of Installation of Public Outreach Sign(s)” and
