All districts
Signs are governed by Chapter 607; billboards are addressed separately in § 770-57. Sign Areas 1-3 are established by the official Sign Area Map (§ 607-4I); use that map for the parcel rather than infer an area from the zoning district.
One- and two-family residential uses may display temporary signs up to 6 square feet (§ 607-9K). Temporary signs include for-sale/lease, garage/estate-sale and political signs and ordinarily need no permit (§ 607-8I and introductory paragraph).
Multiple-family developments with 4 or more units may have one wall sign per major-street frontage, oriented to it, at 2 square feet per unit up to 20 square feet. Developments with 12 or more units and major-street frontage may have one monument sign oriented to that street: maximum 5 feet tall, 25 square feet for a single face or 50 square feet for two or more faces, and 10 feet setback. These wall and monument signs require permits and cannot be internally illuminated (§ 607-8E).
Institutional wall signs are limited to 20 square feet per street-facing facade. The institutional monument allowance requires major-street frontage: one sign, 5 feet tall, 25 square feet single-face or 50 square feet for two or more faces, and 10 feet setback. Permit and illumination rules apply (§ 607-8D).
Section 607-10 prohibits unlisted signs, banners/streamers, roof signs, signs painted on walls/fences, tree/utility-pole signs, inflatables and message cycles under 30 seconds. Flashing/moving lights and portable signs have express exceptions elsewhere in the chapter; they are not universally forbidden. Sign appeals and variances go to the Planning Commission (§ 607-16C-D).
