§ 17.02.255 Special Sign District is added to §17.02, Article V to read as follows:
A. Purpose. This Subsection sets forth regulations for the establishment of Special Sign Districts in areas of the City containing multiple parcels that may be reasonably grouped, the unique characteristics of which can be enhanced by the imposition of special sign guidelines and standards designed to enhance the theme or unique qualities of a certain area, or which reinforce the identity of certain areas of the City to promote business and strengthen the City’s tax base and to implement the General Plan.
B. Establishment of Special Sign Districts. The City Council, the Planning Commission or the Community Development Director may initiate consideration of a proposed Ordinance to establish a Special Sign District as set forth in Section 17.02.290 (Zone Changes) of this Title. Special Sign Districts shall be considered an overlay zone to modify the underlying zoning district with regards to signage regulations, specifically with regards to freestanding signs.

E. Minimum requirements:
1. Zoning. Shall only include parcels in Specific Plan Area 1, Specific Plan Area 16, mixed-use, commercial, institutional and public facility overlay zoning districts. Shall not include parcels in residential zoning districts.

3. Land configuration. Shall include contiguous parcels of land, which may only be separated by a railroad or public street.
