SB 1232: signs; military compatibility permit zoning

Sponsor: Senator Petersen, LD 14

Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure

Overview

Provides requirements for highway signs and displays for use in military zones.

History

Currently, outlined outdoor advertising may be placed or maintained along an interstate, secondary or primary system within 660 feet of the edge of the right-of-way.

Outdoor advertising regulation does not prevent a city, town or county from enforcing or enacting an ordinance regulating outdoor advertising, including the lighting of the outdoor advertising. The city, town or county may enact an ordinance that is more restrictive than statutory requirements but not less restrictive (A.R.S. § 28-7902).

Provisions

1.   Allows signs, displays, and devices placed not less than 1,000 feet from a residence and lawfully placed on a property, to be placed or maintained along an interstate, secondary or primary system within 660 feet of the edge of the right-of-way. (Sec. 1)

2.   Asserts that the residence and property must:

a.   be located within a military airport and ancillary military facility overlay zoning district;

b.   have been issued a military compatibility permit that allows commercial or industrial uses and that was not issued primarily to allow outdoor advertising structures; and

c. be located in a high noise or accident potential zone. (Sec. 1)
