Neal V. City Of Kingman

Kingman's sign ordinance requires that an "off-premises" sign "must be oriented toward the street frontage of the zone in which it is located." City of Kingman, Ariz., Zoning Ord. 135, section XXV, Off-Premise Sign, § 5. Neal owns a McDonald's restaurant located near the intersection of Highway 66 and Interstate 40 (I-40) in Kingman. He wanted to erect two off-premises signs advertising the McDonald's, one on property in the I-40 zone, and one on property in the Highway 66 zone. A permit for the sign in the I-40 zone was issued without incident and is not involved in this appeal. The Administrator originally refused to issue a permit to Neal for the sign in the Highway 66 zone because the sign Neal proposed was oriented toward I-40 rather than toward Highway 66.
