RULES GOVERNING OUTDOOR ADVERTISING IN COLORADO |

| Additional Information |
|
| Statutory Authority |
The statutory authority for the emergency rules is granted under § 43-1-105(6), § 24-4-103(6)(a), § 43-1-414(4), and § 43-1-415, C.R.S. |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The specific purpose of the emergency rulemaking is to align CDOT’s processes for permitting and enforcement of outdoor advertising devices with the new state law under Senate Bill 21-263. These emergency rules establish a new compensation-based approach for permitting and enforcement of outdoor advertising devices in areas near interstates and state highways and visible to the traveling public from the roadway. These emergency rules remove the previous categories of outdoor advertising devices (i.e., On-Premise Sign, Off-Premise Sign, Official Sign, and Directional Sign) from the rules, and they also redefine the definition of “Advertising Device” and add the definition of “Compensation." These emergency rules also modify the noncompliance requirements to give a property owner or sign owner the option to execute an affidavit under the penalty of perjury in the event the property owner or sign owner does not believe their sign is an advertising device requiring a CDOT permit. These emergency rules streamline the hearing procedures and allow an Applicant who was denied a permit to request an expedited hearing within thirty days of the notice of denial. Additionally, these emergency rules clarify that Changeable Electronic Variable Message advertising devices may not be within 1000 feet of each other that are facing the same direction. Finally, these emergency rules make technical revisions to align the rules with the new state law under Senate Bill 21-263. (See attachment) |
