Revocation of Permits SGN2013-00047/BUP2013-00137
Sign located at10185 SW Cascade Avenue,Tigard, Oregon .
Mr. Colvin,
It has come to our attention that a sign permit (SGN2013-00047) and associated building permits
(BUP2013-00137 &ELC2013-00317) were improperly issued by the City of Tigard Community
Development Department. The discovery of this error voids these permits and both permits are
hereby rescinded as inconsistent with the provisions of the Tigard Development Code (TDC). As
the work proposed in the above referenced permits has already been constructed and is now in
operation,we ask for your cooperation in reestablishing compliance.
The permits issued in error were for the replacement of an existing 14' by 48' sign face, and the
expansion of superstructure bracing, on a freestanding sign located at 10185 SW Cascade. The
proposed sign replacement and superstructure modification was intended to create an electronic
message center sign by removing the wood or metal static display and replacing it with an LED
panel. As discussed below, this scope of work is in clear violation of regulations pertaining to
electronic message centers and nonconforming signs.
18.780.090 Special Condition Signs
Electronic message centers are classified as a special condition sign, and are therefore subject to
regulations specific to that class of signs. In addition to height and area limits, electronic message
centers are permitted only within the C-G and MU-CBD zones (TDC 18.790.090.D.1.a). This
restriction is clear and unambiguous, and not open to interpretation. As the electronic message
center in question is located in the MUC zone,it was not within the City's authority to approve
permits at the time of their issuance (TDC18.210.070).
18.780.070 Certain Signs Prohibited
The sign in question also meets the definition of a billboard (TDC 18.780.015.A.8). Billboards are
expressly prohibited within city limits (TDC 18.780.070.M). Assuming the original sign was erected
legally at the time of construction, and has maintained all nonconforming rights subsequent to
erection, any permits for new signs or changes to the existing sign and sign structure must satisfy the
13125 SW Hall Blvd. • Tigard, Oregon 97223 • 503.639.4171
TTY Relay: 503.684.2772 • www.tigard-or.gov
provisions of the Nonconforming Signs section of the Signs chapter (TDC 18.780.110). As
discussed below, the proposed scope of work exceeds that allowed for nonconforming signs.
18.780.110 Nonconforming Signs
Any nonconforming sign that is structurally altered, relocated, or replaced shall immediately be
brought into compliance with all of the provisions of the Signs Chapter (TDC I8.780.110.A.4). As
the scope of work for these permits included both structural alteration and replacement, the
proposed work should not have been approved.
Structural alteration is defined as the modification of the size, shape, or height of a sign structure,
including the replacement of sign structure materials with other than comparable materials (see
'1'DC18.780.015.A49-50). The building permit submitted for the application shows clear structural
alteration through the addition of new bracing material which expands the size and shape of the sign
structure. These changes were not disclosed or identified in the sign permit application, and as such
the building permit also appears to exceed the scope of changes approved in the sign permit.
In addition to structural alteration, the removal of the static sign face to and its replacement with an
electronic message center meets the definition of sign replacement. Nonconforming sign
regulations require a replaced sign be brought into full conformance with the provisions of the sign
chapter (TDC18.780.110.A.4). As the sign exceeds height and size limits for the base zone and
freeway oriented signs, combined with the general prohibition of electronic message centers in this
part of the city,it appears impossible for the LED conversion to comply with standards pertaining
to new signs or nonconforming signs.
Request for Action
Given these facts, the city cannot permit this violation to persist. This letter serves as formal notice
that the City of Tigard will proceed with enforcement and/or abatement proceedings if the sign is
not removed altogether or returned to its previous condition within 30 days of the date of this letter.
The city is cognizant of its error in issuing the permits, and to that end is willing to work with you to
reach a reasonable timeline to abatement if 30 days is not sufficient. If an extension is required,
please submit your request in writing. Your prompt response is appreciated.
Sincerely,
•
