P. Is the problem blight (trash, etc) outside, or is it a problem with the building (illegal use, housing code violation, etc)?

Staff have reviewed the regulations.
This is considered a "Wall Sign" and is permitted at this location (RM-2 Zone)

Doesn't the code say a Wall Sign is NOT permitted in RM-2 Zone?

Paul,
Please re-read the image you posted. You put a circle around "RS-1 / RS-2 "
This is an RM-2 so it is permitted

Oops. My bad. Do these sections have any relevance?
"notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, may not exceed one-third the area of the wall (including windows and doors) on which it is located"
"Any sign authorized in this ordinance can contain non-commercial copy in lieu of other copy."
BTW, graffiti artists have already attacked the advertising.

I asked if either of these Section 60.3. Signs ordinance sections were relevant here:
(b) (5) says "Any sign authorized in this ordinance can contain non-commercial copy in lieu of other copy"
(f) (1) says "On-Premises Signs in Residential Zoning Districts cannot exceed six square feet except for those signs associated with establishments providing goods or services under Section 31 of this ordinance or providing accessory retail goods or services in an RH-2 District, which signs are not to exceed six square feet or ten percent of the area of the ground floor wall surface on which such sign is located, including window and door area, whichever is greater."

We don't believe those sections apply given this is a "wall sign".
The graffiti should be removed.
Staff will follow up

Staff will be following up on this graffiti and sign.
Further research revealed a size limit of 6 Sq./ft. for this type of sign under the Zoning Ordinance.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that based the size, the sign is indeed oversized and is not allowed? If that's correct, hallelujah!
But what is the remedy?
Is the property owner then required to paint over it with something that is not an advertisement?

We will update when more information is available.
This needs further review. The owner will be given time to address this issue.
We will keep everyone in the loop.

The owner should be removing it.
Zoning enforcement may be needed shortly if the size of the letters isn't corrected.
We will continue to monitor.
