The purpose of this chapter is to enact regulatory measures to implement those goals and policies stated in the
Edmonds Comprehensive Policy Plan and to achieve the following objectives:
A. Protect the public right-of-way from obstructions which would impair the public's use of their right-of-way.
B. Minimize the hazard to the public represented by distractions to drivers from moving, blinking, or other similar
forms of signage or visual clutter.
C. Provide for distinct signage for each distinct property.
D. Encourage the use of graphics/symbols to reduce the visual clutter associated with overly large letters or
extensive use of lettering.
E. Minimize potential for view blockage and visual clutter along public rights -of -way. [Ord. 4039 § 1 (Aft. A),
2016; Ord. 3461 § 2, 2003].
20.60.005 Definitions.
For the purposes of the enforcement of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply:
"Attached sign" is any sign attached or affixed to a building. Attached signs include wall signs, projecting signs, and
window signs.
"Boxed cabinet sign" is a permanent sign that is mounted on the face of a building that is roughly rectangular in
shape and provides for internal illumination and changing the message of the sign by replacing a single transparent
or translucent material such as a Plexiglass/Lexan face. This definition is meant to distinguish between a cabinet
sign that is essentially a rectangular box and one that follows the outlines of the letters of the sign, or an "outline
cabinet sign."
"Building ID/historic sign" is a permanent sign that identifies or names a building and assists in creating landmarks
in the city. Examples include dates, "1890"; names, "Beeson Building"; or addresses.

Chapter 20.60 SIGN CODE
"Campaign sign" is a temporary sign displaying a message relating to a candidate, political party, or issue that is
registered or certified for an upcoming election.
"Commercial sign" is a sign displayed for the purpose of identifying a commercial use, or advertising a service,
product, business or venture that is offered for trade or sale.
"Community event banner" is a noncommercial sign composed of cloth, fabric, canvas or similarly flexible material
that promotes a temporary community event endorsed, operated or sponsored wholly or in part by a local public
entity the jurisdiction of which includes the city of Edmonds. "Community events" are nonprofit, governmental or
charitable festivals, contests, programs, fairs, carnivals or recreational contests conducted within the city.
"Construction sign" is a permanent or temporary sign displayed on premises where any physical excavation,
construction, demolition, rehabilitation, structural alteration or related work is currently occurring, pursuant to a
valid building permit.
"Directional symbols" are small in size (two square feet or less) and intended to provide on -site directions to
specific locations or areas (such as parking areas, drive -through facilities, ATMs and entries and/or exits), hours of
operation, parking limitations, warnings of hazards, prohibition of activities (such as "no parking"), historical
markers and similar public information. Directional symbols are not considered to be signage as regulated in this
chapter.
"Fixed sign" is any sign attached or affixed to the ground or any structure in such a manner so as to provide for
continuous display for an extended or indeterminable period of time. Fixed signs include, but are not limited to,
freestanding signs and wall signs.
"Freestanding sign" is any sign that is not attached or affixed to a building. Freestanding signs can be further
described as "monument signs" or "pole signs."
"Governmental sign" is a sign owned, operated or sponsored by a governmental entity, and which promotes the
public health, safety or welfare. Governmental signs include, but are not limited to, traffic signs, directional and
informational signs-far-•pubEie-€ae"e-s, publicly sponsored warning or hazard signs, and community event banners
displayed by a governmental entity on public property.
"Group sign" is a sign or signs on one sign structure serving two or more businesses sharing a parking facility.
"Halo sign" is a sign where the light source is concealed behind an opaque face and the rays of illumination are
projected outward around the edges of the sign or directed against the surface behind the sign forming a silhouette or
halo effect. Halo signs are not considered to be internally illuminated signs for the purposes of this chapter.
"Identification structure" is a structure intended to attract the attention of the public to a site, without the use of
words or symbols identifying the businesses. Examples include fountains, sculptures, awnings, and totem poles.
"Internally illuminated signs" include any sign where light shines through a transparent or semi -transparent sign face
to illuminate the sign's message. Exposed neon is considered to be a form of internal illumination.
"Marquee" or "canopy" is a permanent roofed structure attached and supported by the building.
Edmonds Sign Code City Council Approved 2017.03.29
Edmonds Ordinance Attachment A Page 3/18
Chapter 20.60 SIGN CODE
"Marquee sign" is any sign attached to or made a part of a building marquee. A marquee sign is a form of projecting
sign.
"Monument signs" are freestanding signs that have integrated the structural component of the sign into the design of
the sign and sign base.
"Noncommercial sign" is a sign that is intended to display a religious, charitable, cultural, governmental,
informational, political, educational, or artistic message, that is not primarily associated with a good, product, or
service offered for sale or trade. Noncommercial signs include signs advertising incidental and temporary
commercial activities conducted by churches and nonprofit businesses, clubs, groups, associations or organizations.
"Off -premises sign" is any sign that advertises or relates to a good, product, service, event, or meeting, that is
offered, sold, traded, provided, or conducted at some location or premises other than that upon which the sign is
posted or displayed. Off -premises signs include all signs posted or displayed in the public right-of-way.
"On -premises sign" is any sign that advertises or relates to a good, product, service, event, or meeting that is
lawfully permitted to be offered, sold, traded, provided, or conducted at the location or premises upon which the
sign is posted or displayed. On -premises signs also include signs not related to any particular location or premises,
such as signs displaying religious, charitable, cultural, governmental, informational, political, educational, or artistic
messages that are intentionally displayed by the owner of the property or premises upon which the sign is displayed.
"Outline cabinet sign" is a permanent sign that is mounted on the face of a building that roughly follows the shape of
the text or symbology of the sign and provides for internal illumination. This definition is meant to distinguish
between a cabinet sign that follows the outlines of the letters of the sign and one that is essentially a rectangular box
or a "boxed cabinet sign." An "outlined cabinet sign' will be treated more like an "individual letter sign' where the
area of the sign is calculated based on the actual outlined shape of the sign.
"Permanent sign" is a fixed or portable sign intended for continuous or intermittent display for periods exceeding 60
days in any calendar year.
"Pole signs" are freestanding signs where the structural support for the sign is one or more exposed pole(s). Pole
signs may include community event banners where the banner is supported by at least two poles that are
permanently attached to the ground ("pole -mounted community event banners"). However, pole signs with two
poles that are not more than six feet in height are considered to be monument signs.
"Portable sign" is any sign that is readily capable of being moved or removed, whether attached or affixed to the
ground, or any structure that is typically intended for temporary display. Portable signs include, but are not limited
to:
1. Signs designed and constructed with a chassis or support with or without wheels;
2. Pedestrian signs, including signs such as A -frame (sandwich board), stanchion, easel, or post -style signs
intended as freestanding signs in pedestrian environments;

related business when the vehicle is being used in the normal day-to-day operation of the business, and except
for signs advertising for sale the vehicle upon which the sign is mounted;
6. Searchlights;
7. Inflatables.
"Premises" is the actual physical area of the lot upon which a sign is posted or displayed.
"Projecting sign" is any sign attached or affixed to a building or wall in such a manner that its leading edge extends
more than 12 inches beyond the surface of such building or wall.
"Reader board sign" is a sign that is designed to allow for a change in the message, either by adding or removing
plastic letters, or by means of electronics and lights. Reader boards do not include signs which have a changeable
message where the sign does not change more than once per day and where the changeable features are integrated
with the background and overall design of the sign, including the sign's typefaces, colors and symbology. Individual
letters or numbers placed on a solid colored background is considered to be a reader board.
Two signs at left: Acceptable changeable message sign;
Two signs at right: A reader board.

"Real estate sign" is a sign displaying a message relating to the sale or rent of real property.
"Sign" is any structure, device or fixture that is visible from a public place, that incorporates graphics, symbols, or
written copy for the purposes of conveying a particular message to public observers, including wall graphics or
identification structures.
"Sign area" is the area of a sign on which copy is to be placed, as set forth in ECDC 20.60.020(A).
"Temporary sign" is a sign intended for short-term display, not to exceed 60 calendar days in any calendar year.
Window signs meeting the requirements of ECDC 20.60.035 are not regulated as temporary signs.
"Wall graphic" is a wall sign, including murals, in which color and form, and primarily without the use of words, are
a part of the overall design on the building(s) where the wall graphic is proposed. A wall graphic may be painted or
applied (not to exceed one-half inch in thickness) to a building as a part of its overall color and design, but may not
be internally lighted. Internally lighted assemblies, including those which project from the wall of the structure, or
which are located on any accessory structure on the site, shall be considered wall signs and comply with the
requirements of this chapter.
"Wall sign" is a sign that is attached or affixed to a wall and that is parallel to and not projecting more than 12
inches at any angle from such wall. Wall signs include signs that are painted directly upon a wall.
"Window sign" is a sign that is attached or affixed to a window, or a sign displayed within 24 inches of the inside of
a window in such a manner as to be visible from any public place. [Ord. 4039 § 1 (Att. A), 2016; Ord. 3800 § 1,
2010; Ord. 3631 § 1, 2007; Ord. 3628 § 8, 2007; Ord. 3561 § 1, 2005; Ord. 3514 § 1, 2004; Ord. 3461 § 2, 2003].

modified without first obtaining a sign permit approving the proposed sign's size, design, location, and display as
provided for in this chapter.
B. Design approval is not required for the posting of permanent signs in residential zones; provided, that the
restrictions and standards of this chapter are met. If additional signage is requested for conditional or nonconforming
uses in residential zones, the property owner shall apply for design review. Design review is not required for any
sign which does not require a building permit.
C. A sign modification shall include, but is not limited to, relocations, modifications to size, design, height or color
scheme, or the replacement of 25 percent or more of the structural material in the sign area. Normal and ordinary
maintenance and repair, and changes to the graphics, symbols, or copy of a sign, without affecting the size,
structural design, height, or color scheme, shall not constitute modifications for purposes of this section. [Ord. 4039

20.60.015 Design review procedures.
A. Staff Approval. Except as referred to the architectural design board pursuant to subsection (A)(1) of this section,
and except as provided in subsection (B) of this section, the planning manager, or designee, shall review all
applications for design review under this chapter, and shall approve, conditionally approve or deny the application in
accordance with the policies of ECDC 20.10.000 and the standards and requirements of this chapter; provided, that
for murals and artwork the planning manager or designee shall review the application in accordance with the criteria
set forth in subsection (C) of this section. The decision of the planning manager on any sign permit application shall
be final except that signs reviewed by the architectural design board are appealable to the hearing examiner.
1. The planning manager or designee may refer design review applications to the architectural design board for
the types of signs listed below, where the planning manager determines that the proposed sign has the potential
for significant adverse impacts on community aesthetics or traffic safety:
a. Any sign application for an identification structure as defined by this chapter;
b. Any sign application for a wall graphic as defined by this chapter;
c. Any proposed sign that the planning manager determines to be obtrusive, garish or otherwise not
consistent with the architectural features of the surrounding neighborhood.
B. Review by Architectural Design Board. The architectural design board shall review those signs listed in
subsection (13)(1) of this section and any sign permit referred by the planning manager pursuant to subsection (A)(1)
of this section.
1. The ADB shall review any sign permit application that requests a modification to any of the standards
prescribed by this chapter. The ADB shall only approve modification requests that arise from one of the
following two situations:
a. The request is for signage on a site that has a unique configuration, such as frontage on more than two
streets, or has an unusual geometric shape or topography;
b. The request is for signage on a building that has unique architectural elements or features or details that
substantially restrict the placement or size of signage relative to other buildings in the vicinity.
2. The ADB may approve the requested modification only if it meets the following criteria:
a. The design of the proposed signage must be compatible in its use of materials, colors, design and
proportions with development throughout the site and with similar signage in the vicinity;
b. In no event shall the modification result in signage which exceeds the maximum normally allowed by
more than 50 percent.
C. Staff Review of Murals and Artwork. When a proposed wall graphic is proposed as a mural or artwork, the
planning manager or designee shall review and approve, conditionally approve, or deny the application in
accordance with the following criteria. While a separate sign permit is required for each wall graphic, the staff may
make a single design review decision on wall graphics that consist of related murals or artwork. Related murals or
artwork may include multiple proposals for sites within reasonable proximity to each other that are related by theme,
style, materials used, and/or context. The decision of the staff on any design review application containing a mural
or art as a wall graphic may be appealed to the city council pursuant to the procedure established in Chapter 20.06
ECDC.
1. Art, like other exercises of First Amendment rights, may be limited by reasonable time, place, and manner
restrictions. In this case, these criteria will be utilized to enhance the aesthetics of the city and to ensure quality
and maintenance standards are observed. No recommendation shall be based upon the content or message
expressed by an artist or in a work of art. Applicants are encouraged to coordinate their artwork with the design
or architectural elements of the building and the historic and pedestrian -oriented character of the downtown
area.

2. Specific submission requirements for design review include, but are not limited to:
a. Site sketch showing locations of artwork;
b. Minimum one -fourth -inch scale color drawings of the art concept or art component;
c. Material/color samples;
d. Written Proposal. A written proposal in eight -and -one -half -inch -by -I I -inch format to include a
description and summary of a final design proposal for the artwork; detailed maintenance requirements; a
schedule for development, fabrication, and completion; artist's resume; and evidence of assumption of
liability by applicant or designee; and
e. When required pursuant to ECDC 20.45.050, a certificate of appropriateness shall be obtained from the
historic preservation commission for murals on designated historic structures or within a designated
historic district.
3. Review Criteria. Review criteria for the design review include:
a. Quality of the materials used to create the artwork. Materials should be resistant to fading; no
fluorescent paints;
b. Durability and permanence, including ability to withstand age, vandalism, and weathering.
Consideration should be given to anti -graffiti coating; and
c. Compatibility of the artwork with architectural elements, other elements of the street, and adjacent
structures. Compatibility shall be determined by relationships of the elements of form, proportion, scale,
color, materials, surface treatment, and size and style of lettering. Lettering shall be minimized, but may
be considered for inclusion when necessary to the artistic content.
D. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (A), (B), and (C) of this section, sign permit applications shall not
be referred to or reviewed by the architectural design board if the proposed sign constitutes a modification to an
existing sign and involves no significant alteration or modification to the size, height, design, lighting or color of the
existing sign. Sign permit applications for such sign modifications shall be processed and subject to review in the
same manner as provided for staff review in subsection (A) of this section. [Ord. 4039 § 1 (Att. A), 2016; Ord. 3800
§ 1, 2010; Ord. 3736 § 60, 2009; Ord. 3461 § 2, 2003].

A. Sign Area. The area of a sign shall be calculated as follows:
1. The area of a sign is maximum actual area of a sign that is visible from any single point of observation from
any public vantage point. The sign area is normally the smallest rectangle that encloses the entire copy area of
the sign.
2. Individual letters, numbers or symbols applied directly to a wall or structure and used to form the sign shall
be calculated individually.
3. Supporting structures which are part of a sign display shall be included in the calculation of the sign area,
except that the supporting structure of a monument sign or pole sign shall not be included when calculating the
sign area.

20.60.025 Total maximum permanent sign area.
A. Business and Commercial Zone Districts (BN, BP, BC, BD, WMU, CW and CG).
1. The maximum total permanent sign area for allowed or permitted uses in the BN, BC, BD and CW zones
shall be one square foot of sign area for each lineal foot of wall containing the main public entrance to the
primary building or structure located upon a separate legal lot. Within the Downtown Activity Center defined
in the comprehensive plan, six square feet of sign area is added to the maximum permanent sign area available
for each ground floor storefront.
2. The maximum total permanent sign area for allowed or permitted uses in the CG zone shall be one square
foot of sign area for each lineal foot of building frontage along a public street and/or along a side of the
building containing the primary public entrance to a maximum of 200 square feet. The allowable sign area shall
be computed separately for each qualifying building frontage, and only the sign area derived from that frontage
may be oriented along that frontage. Sign areas for wall -mounted signs may not be accumulated to yield a total
allowable sign area greater than that permitted upon such frontage, except that businesses choosing not to erect
a freestanding sign may use up to 50 percent of their allowable freestanding sign area for additional attached
sign area. Use of the additional area shall be subject to the review of the architectural design board.
3. The maximum total permanent sign area may be divided between wall, projecting, and freestanding signs, in
accordance with regulations and maximum sign area and height for each type of sign, as provided in ECDC
20.60.030 through 20.60.050. Projecting signs (including blade signs) of four square feet or less and window
signs meeting the requirements of ECDC 20.60.035 do not count against the total permanent sign area
permitted.
4. The maximum number of permitted permanent signs is three per site, or three per physically enclosed
business space on commercial sites with multiple business tenants. A site with more than one street frontage is
