§ 8.601. Sign free zone.

A.

Pursuant to A.R.S. 16-1019 as amended, the City Council by resolution may designate commercial tourism, commercial resorts and hotel sign-free zones, not more than two (2) zones may be identified within the City limits. The total area of each of those zones shall not be larger than three (3) square miles, and each zone shall be identified as a specific contiguous area. The City Council must find that based on a predominance of commercial tourism, resort and hotel uses within the zone, the placement of political signs within the rights-of-way in the zone will detract from the scenic and aesthetic appeal of the area within the zone and deter its appeal to tourists.
