Note: in October of 2006, the Clallam County
Superior Court issued an injunction preventing Jefferson County from
enforcing section 18.30.150(2)(f) of the Jefferson County Code which
states, "Personal signs on private property displaying personal
messages such as "yard sale" or "no trespassing" or political
signs not to exceed eight square feet." As such, DCD will
not enforce the eight square foot limit for signs in JCC
18.30.150(2)(f). Staff is currently
seeking the assistance of a consultant to revise the Sign code under JCC 18.30.150.
Prior background work:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on
the UDC Amendment proposal on
Jefferson County Code 18.30.150, development standards for
Signs, on Wednesday, May 7, 2008, at its regularly scheduled meeting
at the WSU Extension office, Shold Business Park, 201 West Patison
in Port Hadlock.
Staff reported to the BoCC the Planning Agency
recommendations on signs on Tuesday, May 27, 2008. Because the
Planning Commission and staff recommendations differ, the BoCC held
a public hearing on the development standards for signs on Monday,
June 16, 2008.
The BoCC voted to remand the sign code back to
staff and the Planning Commission for additional work. Please click

recommendations, staff report and recommendation, and for the
