§ 24.60.030. Required signage.

Within wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, landslide hazard areas, marine bluffs and their associated buffers, signs are required as a condition of any permit or authorization issued pursuant to this chapter. Signs and their locations shall be inspected by the director, or designee, prior to commencement of any permitted activity. The applicant shall be required to install permanent signs along the boundary of a critical area tract, delineated critical area, or along the edge of the buffer. Permanent signs shall consist of an enamel-coated metal face attached to a metal post or another non-treated material of equal durability. The signs shall be worded as follows or with alternative language approved by the approval authority.

Regarding Uses and Restrictions

These signs shall be located at the point where lot lines intersect with the buffer, at corners where the buffer makes a change of direction, and not less than every three hundred feet. The approval authority may allow the signage to be at larger intervals when the sign would be visible from an adjacent sign and installation of a sign at a shorter distance would interfere with reasonable use of the property. The property owner shall maintain the signs.
