County Outdoor Lighting Code (OLC) and International Building Code (IBC) 2018.
1. General:
a. Provide permit application: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/integratedplanning/pdsd/Sign_permit_application_2022.pdf
b. Provide professional site plan that shows lot lines, property line dimensions, sign setbacks
from street curb to leading edge of the sign, any easements and building, site access
driveway and sight visibility triangles taken from that driveway at the north to ensure the
sign is not within the SVT. If you need help, you may find site plans either on our PRO
website or under the Pima County Assessor’s website.
2. UDC:
a. UDC 7A.10.2.b limits the size of a freestanding sign to 32 square feet of sign area (cabinet
sizes cumulatively). The application exceeds that, though the sign area is not listed for each
cabinet and then cumulatively for both cabinets. Once the plan set is revised, the
application can proceed to the SDRC process for review of the request to increase the sign
area on this sign. SDRC applications are being emailed to the contractor.
b. Need on the site plan to know what the setbacks are for the sign, in case that has to be
listed on the SDRC process. Monument signs should be 20’ setback at minimum from street
curb / edge of pavement to leading edge of the sign structure.

a. Specify if using current electric or if needing to run power to the sign, requires separate
permit submittal if needed.

c. Add note that digital message center shall change message maximum 1 x minute and
without any animation in the message change.
d. Add note that the digital message center shall be a master / mirror set up so as to show the
same message on both sides at the same time (not being two separate units)
e. Add note that the digital message center shall dim to a maximum of 200 Nits of brightness
from sunset to midnight curfew (if church has special events past midnight, it’s allowed to
display that message until the event ends)
f. Add note how the digital message center shall dim – ie. Laser sensor, photo cell, timer
control?
g. Provide digital message center specifications and indicate that the unit is FCC compliant
(and will not interrupt cell phone and internet services)
h. Note where the unit is full color capable
i. Are there two shut off switches here, as one is a static cabinet and the other is the digital
message center ?
4. IBC:
a) Provide side view or top view of the sign, fully dimensioned to show the base width and the
topper width – and cabinet mount different widths.
