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