Temporary Signs

There are two principal types of temporary signs permitted: freestanding signs supported by posts; and banners tied to posts or mounted to a wall. Other temporary sign types, such as balloons, flags, pennants, directional signage, and the like, are also permitted on a limited basis.

Free-standing Temporary Signs
Temporary on-site freestanding signs are allowed three (3) square feet each side with a maximum height of five (5) feet in residential neighborhoods. Typical uses for a temporary sign would be for “Open House”, “For Sale”, “For Lease or Rent”, or “Garage/Yard Sale”. Signs must be located on-site and may be two-sided. No more than two (2) signs are permitted, however, the total sign are of both signs cannot exceed three (3) square feet.

Temporary on-site freestanding signs for nonresidential neighborhoods (commercial zones) are permitted at 16 square feet each side with a maximum height of eight (8) feet. Typical uses include: “For Lease”, “For Sale”, “Under Construction”, “Christmas Trees”, and “Carnival”. Signs must be located on-site and may be two-sided. No more than two (2) signs are permitted; however, the total sign area of both signs cannot exceed 16 square feet.

Subdivisions with five (5) or more lots or units can have 16 square feet for a temporary freestanding sign with a maximum height of six (6) feet. No permits are required. The sign area may be increased up to 32 square feet and to eight (8) feet in height provided a design review permit is approved first.

All temporary freestanding signs must be removed upon the termination of the temporary use or within six (6) months, whichever is less.

When Banner Permits Are Needed
On-site banners for nonprofit special events are permitted for a 14 day display period prior to the event and must be removed within three (3) days after the end of the event. A maximum of 24 square feet is permitted and shall be limited to one banner at any time.

Grand opening/closing banners are permitted for new businesses or a change of ownership at a maximum of 24 square feet. The banner may be up a maximum of 60 days after the initial opening of the business.

In addition, four (4) banners per calendar year are permitted for nonresidential uses for sales and special promotions. A maximum of 24 square feet is permitted with a maximum display period of 15 consecutive days.

Banners over public right-of-way are limited to 45 square feet in area. Said signs are for civic and non-profit City-wide recognized special events and are approved through the City Manager’s office pursuant to City specifications.

Other Temporary Sign Types
Balloons, flags and pennants are permitted in all zones without permits provided that they are securely tied down. For residential zones balloons, flags and pennants can only be displayed for daylight hours.

Off-Site Directional signs are permitted at a maximum of 3 sq. ft. The purpose is to allow enough directional signage to a subdivision, open house, garage sales and the like. Prior to installing the directional signs, property owner permission is needed. These signs may only be installed on property similarly zoned. A maximum of 3 signs are permitted per parcel and such signs are prohibited on public right-of-way.

It is important to note that off-site directional signs are only permitted for daylight hours only and are intended to direct in a manner which avoids the placement of several signs in a repetitious manner.

Subdivision Off-Site Directional signs are permitted for subdivisions having 5 or more lots. One 16 sq. ft. off-site directional sign, 6 ft. in height is permitted provided that a design review permit is granted. This sign must be removed after the initial sale of the subdivided lots.

Any subdivision of land may provide an off-site directional sign of 3 sq. ft. in size and may be displayed with no restriction to daylight hours subject to design review.
