| Description of Subjects/Issues |
The specific purpose of this rulemaking is to consider changes to align CDOT’s processes for permitting and enforcement of outdoor advertising devices with Senate Bill 21-263. CDOT proposes to establish a new compensation-based approach within the rules for permitting and enforcement of outdoor advertising devices in areas near interstates and state highways and visible to the traveling public from the roadway. The previous categories of outdoor advertising devices (i.e., On-Premise Sign, Off-Premise Sign, Official Sign, and Directional Sign) will be removed from the rules. The noncompliance requirements will be modified to give a property owner or sign owner the option to execute an affidavit in the event the property owner or sign owner does not believe their sign is an advertising device requiring a CDOT permit. The hearing procedures will be modified to allow an applicant who was denied a permit to request an expedited hearing within 30 days of the notice of denial. The proposed rules also clarify that Changeable Electronic Variable Message Signs may not be within 1000 feet of each other that are facing the same direction. The materials incorporated by reference will be updated. A new proposed rule will be added to allow interested and affected parties to petition for a declaratory order to increase transparency and be in compliance with the Colorado Administrative Procedure Act. Finally, other non-substantive changes will be made. |
