A. All signs require a permit issued by the borough unless exempted by HBC 18.90.080. A permit application for a sign may be considered part of a land use permit application or may be considered separately. There shall be a fee for a sign permit application if considered separately. Fees associated with signs shall follow the fee structure as set forth in HBC 18.30.070.

B. Sign permit applications shall include plans for all signs to be placed. The plans shall illustrate sign elevations, cross sections, dimensions, placement, materials and lighting, or any similar information.

C. A sign’s subject matter, topic, function, purpose, message or viewpoint shall not be considered when determining whether to approve or deny a sign permit. Nor shall the identity of the speaker, or the type of event advertised, if applicable, be considered when approving or denying a sign permit.

D. The borough will review a sign permit application and either approve or deny the permit within 10 working days after receipt of a complete application. (Ord. 18-09-510 § 4; Ord. 12-05-291 § 10. Formerly 18.90.030)
