Signs in Port St. Lucie, FL

What the Port St. Lucie zoning ordinance says about signs, district by district. Section numbers link to the official ordinance.

All districts

The City's Sign Code is Chapter 155, a separate chapter from the Zoning Code (Chapter 158). All signs must meet the Florida Building Code and, if electrified, the National Electrical Code; sign bracing must be hidden from public view; owners must keep signs legible, structurally sound, and free of missing parts; no sign may create a traffic hazard or sit within 8 feet of an electric utility pole or line; only permanent signs may be illuminated, with numerous shielding and lighting-source rules; and a sign may not exceed the height of the roof deck line it is affixed to. Permanent identification signs are governed by a dimensional Table I keyed to each zoning district (maximum area, cumulative area, height, setback, sign count, and lighting type); a major residential development's identification sign is capped at 32 square feet (16 square feet for developments of 10 units or fewer), and subdivision entrance signs are capped at 32 square feet and 10 feet in height. Table I's exact per-district figures were not extractable as plain text in this session's fetch and are review-gated; confirm the current Table I figures for the applicable district with the Planning and Zoning Department.
