OAR 734-060-0120: NHS Limited Permits Under ORS 377.712(2)

Where roadways, or sections of roadways, are added to the National Highway System (NHS) after May 30, 2007, legally located, pre-existing signs may qualify for a permit issued under ORS 377.712(2) as a limited permit. Limited permits issued pursuant to ORS 377.712(2) may only be relocated, as conforming, on the same roadway where originally permitted, within the same continuous milepoints where the permit was issued. The milepoint limitation will be noted on the permit certificate at the time of issuance and recorded within the OACS database. All NHS limited permit relocation requests must remain on the same roadway where originally permitted, and must meet all OMIA restrictions including spacing and size restrictions. NHS limited permits may not be aggregated. (1) To qualify for an NHS limited permit: (a) The sign must have been an outdoor advertising sign continuously from October 1, 2012 through the time an application for permit was submitted; and (b) Must be legally located within a commercial or industrial zoning. (2) An NHS limited permit that is issued as a digital sign permit may not be relocated or reconstructed as a static sign permit.
