Administrative Rule Adopted by Bureau of Transportation Engineering & Development Pursuant to Rule-Making Authority
ARB-TRN-10.26
I. Discussion
Per City Code Title and Chapter 3.12, the City Engineer has the authority to regulate objects in the public right-of-way. City Code Title and Chapter 32 also regulates signs that are attached to buildings and may extend into the right-of-way. In order to safely and effectively manage the right-of-way, the City Engineer will grant approval to signs that are substantially in compliance with the requirements of City Code Title Chapter 32.
Unless specifically provided in City Code Title and Chapter 32, private signs are not permitted in the right-of-way (per administrative rule regarding encroachments).

1. Signs may extend into the public right-of-way, but no closer than 2 feet from the curb line, regardless of height.
