What the Franklin zoning ordinance says about signs, district by district. Section numbers link to the official ordinance.
Chapter 15 regulates specific sign types including awning, band, canopy, convenience, development entrance, directory, flag, monument, sandwich board, small hanging/projecting, sports field/court, vertical blade, wall, window, and temporary construction site signs.
Signs may not be placed in the public right-of-way except government signs, HPO sandwich board signs allowed by the Municipal Code, and sign types projecting from a building over a sidewalk. Prohibited sign background/frame/support materials include exposed metal poles and smooth- or split-faced concrete blocks.
