sign permit shall contain the name and address of the sign user, the sign owner and the owne~ of
the property upon which the sign is located, and such other pertinent information as the Director
of Community Development may require to ensure compliance with the Code, including proof of

owner and/or owner of the property on which the sign is located to the remedies and penalties of
Section 21.02.940 BMC.
(7) Amortization.
i. Purpose. In order to ease the economic impact of this Code on
businesses or persons with substantial investment in signs in existence on the Effective Date of
this Section provides for up to five (5) or ten (10) years, as applicable, of continued use of a
nonconforming sign in its existing state. During this period, it is expected that the sign may be
amortized in its value over this time period and/or may be amortized for federal income tax
purposes; provided, however, that whether a si~n is amortized for tax purposes shall not affect
the application of this section.
ii. All legal nonconforming signs shall be discontinued and removed
or made conforming within ten (10) years from the Effective Date of this Section for billboard

"amortization period"). Additionally, all signs which are made nonconforming by a subsequent
amendment to the Zoning Code, Chapter 21.02 BMC, or by subsequent action or activity such as
government acquisition of property for right-of-way pursuant to Section 21.02.330(10), shall be
discontinued and removed or made conforming within the applicable amotization period after the
date of such amendment, action or activity. Upon the expiration of the amortization period, the
sign shall be brought into conformance with this Section, with a permit obtained, or be removed.
A sign prohibited pursuant to Section 21.02.330(f) BMC may not be brought into conformance
and must therefore be immediately removed upon the expiration of the amortization period.
Amortization is the sole method of compensation for removal of signs pursuant to the this
Section.
(8) Permitting, Removel and Amortization Exemption. The permitting,
removal and amortization provisions of Subsection 21.02.330(q)(6) and Subsection
21.02.330(q)(7) do not apply to any sign which would require the city to pay compensation for
its removal under any federal, state or other law, including Chapter 47.42 RCW, The Highway
Advertising Control Act--Scenic Vistas Act.
(9) Loss of legal nonconforming sign status. All nonconforming signs shall be
immediately removed or modified to conform to all the provisions of this chapter, and a new
permit secured therefor, and such nonconforming sign shall immediately lose its legal
nonconforming designation when one or more of the following events occurs:
a. Structural changes. The applicant is making structural
alterations or increasing the gross floor area of any structure that houses or supports the use with
which the legal nonconforming sign is associated.
b. Other alterations. The applicant is making any change,
alteration or performing work other than normal maintenance or other than tenant improvements,
in any twelve (12) month period to any structure that houses or supports the use with which the
7
Off Premises Signs
nonconforming sign is associated and the fair market value of those changes, alterations or other
work exceeds twenty-five (25) percent of the assessed value of that structure based on the
building permit valuation tables.
c. Abandonment or business cessation. The subject property
containing the sign is abandoned for ninety (90) or more consecutive days or the activity
conducted on the subject property ceases for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days.
d. Sign alterations. The applicant is making changes,
alterations or performing any work to the legal nonconforming sign other than regular and
normal maintenance. Prohibited sign alterations include enlarging the sign face, relocating the
sign or replacing the sign; provided, however, that replacing any individual tenant's
identification sign in either a center identification sign which separately identifies the tenants or
in a tenant directory sign shall not result in the loss of such sign's legal nonconforming si..vn
designation.
e. Change in use. There has been a change in use on the
subiect property as that term is defined in Chapter 21.02 BMC.
f. Change in tenant. There has been a change in business or
change in single occupancy tenant on the subject property.
In connection with any multiuse or multi-tenant complex, the foregoing events which
require that a nonconforming sign be either removed or brought into conformance with this
Code, shall apply only to the individual owner's or tenant's buildin~-motmted or freestanding
signs who has triggered the elimination of the legal nonconformance and not to the other sign~
located on the subiect property, including any copy change in a center identification or tenant
directory sign in order to include such tenant's name.
(10) Government acquisition of property for right-of-way.
i. A sign that becomes nonconforming with respect to its setback
from the edge of a public right-of-way as a result of a local, state, or federal government
acquisition of property for fight-of-way expansion shall be characterized as a legal
nonconforming sign and shall be allowed subject to the requirements of this Section.
ii. The city may, through a Type II permit, allow the placement of a
new sign or relocation of an existing sign within a required setback if it meets all of the
following criteria:
a. The enforcement of this Code would result in substantial
hardship to the applicant because no feasible location exists to place a sign on the subject
property other than in a required setback, and such hardship was created solely by local, state, or
federal government acquisition of property for right-of-way expansion and not by any action of
the applicant;
b. The sign is not prohibited by Section 21.02.330(t) BMC
and, except for location within a required setback, complies with all other requirements of
Section 221.02.330 BMC;
c. The sign complies with the city's minimum sight distance
at intersection requirements pursuant to Section 21.02.33(h) BMC; and
d. Location of the sign with a required setback is otherwise
consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare.
