Utah Admin. Code R933-2-4 - General Requirements
(1) Permits
shall be issued in accordance with the Act and as described by this rule.
(2) Permits may be issued only for
signs that are to be erected in areas allowed by local, state and federal law.
(3) All permits shall be
maintained in good standing with the department for the duration of the sign's
existence.
(4) Until the
application is considered complete by the department, the department shall not
process the application.
(a) If the
application is deemed incomplete by the department, the department will send a
notice notifying the applicant of the deficiencies of the application.
(b) The applicant will have 30
days from the notification date to make the application complete per the
instructions on the application.
(c) If the applicant does not submit the
required information to make the application complete within 30 days from the
notification date the application will be returned to the applicant as
incomplete without being processed.
(d) During the time the applicant is
completing the application, the department will not consider or review any
subsequently-received New Outdoor Advertising Permit Application for the same
general location, where granting one permit would preclude the other.
(e) If two or more applicants file
a New Outdoor Advertising Permit Application at exactly the same time for the
same general location, where granting one permit would preclude the other, the
first complete application received by the department will have priority over
the other. Any notices of deficiencies shall be sent to the applicants
simultaneously.
(5)
Where the local authority has issued a building permit for construction of a
sign, but construction is contrary to the Act, the action of the local
authority does not require the state to issue a permit.
(6) The crossing of a right-of-way line of
any controlled route for access at other than an established access approach to
erect, alter or maintain a sign without the written permission of the
department, is unlawful.
(a) The first
documented offense the permit holder will receive a warning notice.
(b) The second documented offense will result
in a Notice of Agency Action.
(c)
The third documented offense will result in permit revocation.
(7) Any sign located within the
controlled area of two controlled routes shall meet the spacing requirements of
both highway systems.
(8) If a
sign message may be read from two or more routes, one or more of which is a
controlled route, the more stringent of applicable control requirements
applies.
(9) New sign structure or
adjusted sign structure location requires the proposed location to be staked by
the applicant prior to submitting any application. The applicant shall mark the
center-point(s) of the support pole(s) of the proposed location with a clearly
visible stake and a ribbon. The stake shall have the sign owners name clearly
identified on it.
(10) If two or
more applicants file a complete New Outdoor Advertising Permit Application at
the same time for the same general location the first fully completed
application received by the department will have priority over the other(s).
