Sec.t.i. on .10: Unsafe and unlawful signs. (a) ~SPECTION. The superinten6ent shall inspect at such times as be deems r~ecessayr each sign regu!sted by this' Article for the purpose of ascertaining whether the sign is secure or insecure, and whether it is in need of removal or repair. If the Superintendent shall find that any sign re- gulated here in is ~u~Safe or insecure, or is a menace to the public, or has been constructed, erected or maintain~ in violation of the provisions of this Article, he shall give written notice to the owner or permittee settir4~~ forth the defects and work required.. (b) NOTICE OF HEA~.ING. This notice sh~!i set forth the time and place a hearing shall be had before the Superin- tendent, at which time and place evidence would be submitted as to shether any of the defects exist and whether removal, 914. repair of improvement is necessary in the case.

SEC~ION 22: Information on plans and specifications. Plans and specifications shall be drawn to scale upon sub- stantial paper or cloth and shall be of sufficient clarity to indicate the nature and extent of the work proposed and ~. show in detail that it will conform to the provisions of this Article and all relevant laws, ordinances, rules and regulat- iOnS, 8ECTIQ~ ,2~: Design. (a) GENERAL. Signs and sign structures shall be designed and constructed to resist wind and seismic forces as specified in this Section. All bracing systems shall be designed and constructed to transfer lateral forces to the foundations. For signs on buildings the dead and lat- eral loads shall be transmitted throdgh the structural frame of the building to the ground in such manner as not ~ over stress any of the elements thereof. The overturning moment produced from lateral forces shall in no case exceed two-thirds of the dead-load resist- 918 ing moment. Uplift due to overturning shall 'be adequately re- sisted by proper anchorage to the ground or to the 'structural frame of the building, The weight of earth superimposed o~er footings may be used in determining the dead-load resisting moment. Such earth/ shall be carefully placed and throughly compacted. (b) WIND. Signs and sign structures shall be de- signed to withstand the minimum horizontal pressures set forth in Table No.l, allowing for wind from any direction. The wind pressures set forth in Table No.1 are minimum values and shall be adjusted by the Superintendent for areas subjected to high- er wind pressures. (c) WIND PRESSURES. Signs and sign st~ructures shall be designed and ~onstructed to withstand pressures acting up- ward normal to the surface, equal to one and one-forth times those specified for the corresponding height zpne in which the roof i's located. The height is to be taken as the mean height of the sign above grade and the pressure assumed on the entire sign area. TABL~ N0. 1 WIND PRESSURES FOR VARIOUS HEIGHT ZONES ABOVE GRADE Height Z0ne..s. ( l.I1 feet ) Wind-Pressure-Map Areas, (~ounds.. per ..s...quar.e foot ) Less than 30 20 30 to 49 20 50 to 99 25 100 to 499 30 500 to 1199 35 1200 and over 40 (d) SEISMIC LOADS. Signs and sign structures shall be designed and constructed to resist seismic forces as specified in Section 2312, Appendix of the Uniform Building Code. (e) C0~TBINED LOADS, Wind and seismic loads need not be combined in the design of signs or si~-$ structures; only that loading producing the larger stresses need be used. Vertical design loads, except roof live loads, shall be assumed to be acting simultaneously with the wind or seismic loads. (f) ALLOWABLE STRESSES. The design of wood, con~ crete, or steel members shall conform to the requirements of Chap~.er 25, 26 and 27, of the Uniform Building Code. Loads both vertical and horizontal, exerted on the soil shall not produce stresses exceeding those specified in Chapter 28 of the Uniform B~lldlng Code. The working stresses of wire rope and its fastenings shall not exceed 25 per cent of the ultimate strenght of the rope or fastenings. Working stres- ses for wind or seismic loads combined with dead loads may be increased as specified in Section 2303 of the U~iform Building Code. Section 24: Construction. (a) GENERAL. The supports for all signs or sign structures shall be securely built, constructed~ and erected in conformance with the requirements of this Article. (b) MATERIALS. Matet~ials of construction for si- gns and sign sturctures shall be of the quality and grade as specified for building in the Uniform Building Code. In all signs and sign structures the materials and details of con- struction shall, in the absence of specified requirements, conform with the following: 1. Structural steel shall be of such quality as to conform with U.B.C. Stanaard 27-1-~58. Secondary members in contact with, or directly supporting the display surface~ may be formed of light gauge steel provided such members are de- signed in accordance with the specifications of the design of light gauge steel as specified in U.B.C. Standards 27-2-58 and 27-3-58- and in addl~ tion shall be galvanized. .Secondary members, when formed interrally with the display surface, shall be not less than No. 24 gauge in thickness. When not formed inteErally with the display sur- face, the minimum thickness of the secondar~ members shall be No.12 gauge. The minimum thick- ness of hot-rolled steel members furnishing struc- tural support for signs shall be one-fourth inch (~) ~ 3/16" if galvanized. Steel pipes shall be such quality as to conform with U~B.C. Standard 27-4-58. Steel members may be connected with~one galvanized bolt provided the connection is adequate to transfer the stresses~ in the members. 2. Anchors and !supports when of wood and em- bedded in the soil, or within six inches (6") of the soil shall be pressure- treated with an approved preservative. Such members shall be msrked or brand- ed by an approved agency. (~) RESTRICTIONS ON COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. Ground signs m~y be constructed of any material meeting the require- ments of this Article. Combination signs, roof sirs snd pro- Jecting signs shall be constructed of incombustible materials, except as provided in Subsection (d) 'of this Section. No com- bustible materials other ~han spproved plastics shall be used in the 'construction of electric signs. I(d) NONSTRUCTURAL TRIM. · Nonstr-~ctural trim may be of wood, metal, approved plastics, or amy combination thereof. (e) ANCHORAGE. Members supporting unbraced signs shall be so proportioned that the bearing loads imposed on the soil in either direction, horizontal or ~ver~ical, shall not exceed the safe values. Braced ground signs shall be anchor- ed to resist the specified wind or seismic l-cad acting in any directi. on. Anchors and -su~pports ~shall be designed for safe bearing loads on the soil and for an effective resistance be pull-out amounting to a force 25 per cent greater than the re- quired resistance to overturning. Anchors and supports shall penetrste to a depth below ground greater than that of the frost line. Portab~ ground signs supported' by frame or posts rigidly attached to the b~se shall be so proportioned that the ~eight and size of the base ~ill be adequate to resist the ~ind pressure specified in Table No. 1. Signs attached to masonry, concrete, or ste~l shall be safely and securely fastened thereto by mesns of metal anchors, olts or approved expansion screws of sufficient size and anchorage to support safely the loads applied~ No wooden block or plugs or anchors with wood used in connection with. screws or mils shall be .considered proper anchorage, except in the case of signs attached to wood framing. No anchor or support of emy sign shall be con~l~ nected to, or supported by, a parapet wall, unless such wall is designed in accordance with the requirements spec- ified in Section 2312, Appendix, of the Uniform BUilding Code for parapet walls. ( f ) DISPLAY SURFACES. Display surfaces in all types of signs may be made of metal, glass or approved plas- tics, in accordance with the area limitations set forth in Table No. 2 and No. 3- TABLE N0.2 LIMITATIONS OF APPROVED PLASTICS IN SIGNS AREA OF FACING OR AREA OCCUPIED OR D.
