Section 410.210 - Off-premise advertising signs: Land considered "off-premiseCertain situations constitute prima facie evidence that a sign is not an on-premise advertising device. The following are not considered a part of the premises on which the activity is conducted, and any signs located on such land are considered off-premise advertising subject to control by the State:
1. Any land which is not used as an integral part of the principal activity. This includes, but is not limited to, land which is separated from the activity by a roadway, highway or other obstruction and not used by the activity, and extensive undeveloped highway frontage contiguous to the land actually used by a commercial facility even though it might be under the same ownership.2. Any land which is used for or devoted to a separate purpose unrelated to the advertised activity. For example, land adjacent to or adjoining a service station but devoted to raising of crops, residence or farmstead uses, or other commercial or industrial uses having no relationship to the service station activity, would not be part of the premises of the service station even though under the same ownership.3. Any land which is: (a) At some distance from the principal activity;(b) In closer proximity to the highway than the principal activity;(c) Developed or used only in the area of the site of the sign, or between the site of the sign and the principal activity; and(d) Occupied solely by structures or uses which are only incidental to the principal activity, and which serve no reasonable or integrated purpose related to the activity other than to attempt to qualify the land as a site for signs. Generally, these are inexpensive facilities, such as picnic, playground or camping areas, dog kennels, golf driving ranges, skeet ranges, common or private roadways or easements, walking paths, fences and sign maintenance sheds.4. Where the sign is located at or near the end of a narrow strip contiguous to the advertised activity, the site of the sign is not considered part of the premises on which the activity being advertised is conducted. A narrow strip includes, but is not limited to, any configuration of land which is such that it cannot be put to any reasonable use related to the activity other than as a site for signs. In no event is the site of a sign considered part of the premises on which the advertised activity is conducted if it is located upon a narrow strip of land: (a) Which is unsuitable for building, such as swampland, marshland or other wetland;(b) Which is a common or private roadway; or(c) Held by easement or other lesser interest than the premises where the advertised activity is located.Nev.
