Are signs regulated by Zoning?
Yes, most signs require the issuance of a sign permit before the signs are installed. The Zoning Ordinance sets forth separate sign regulations for signs related to residential, commercial or industrial uses. Generally, the amount of sign area that may be permitted for a given commercial or industrial use is dependent upon the amount of building frontage occupied by the use. Additionally, signs may also require separate Building and/or Electrical Permits, depending on the size of the sign and whether the sign is illuminated. For information relating to the installation of signs and the sign area allowed, contact the Zoning Office at 704-920-2137.
