Summary


The amendment to Rule R933-2 creates a logical progression through the outdoor advertising control process; clarifies what information is needed for each application process; addresses how incomplete applications are handled; creates a purpose-built ownership transfer application; updates application time-frame language to conform with Subsection 72-7-507(5)(c); provides the permit holders additional time to complete permit ownership transfers; and gives the department 90 days to accept renewal fees, rather than the current 60 days, in advance of the renewal deadline; removes permit plate requirements and associated fees from the rule; removes Section R933-2-10 that covers when conforming signs become nonconforming and their removal (this section is duplicative of Subsection 72-7-509(1), and, therefore, serves no purpose); updates the limitations section for zoned or un-zoned areas; removes specific fee-related references to conform with Section 63J-1-501; corrects an existing conflict between state law, which indicates permits are transferable and the present rule, which indicates otherwise; removes several requirements relative to official signs application process; adds a provision on official signs regarding digital displays; prevents official signs from being transferred and off-premise advertising from being displayed; and updates and makes additions to or deletions from its list of defined terms.
