(A) Size limitations. Where permitted by this subchapter, temporary signs, including construction signs and portable signs, shall not exceed ten square feet in size.

Temporary signs shall be maintained at all times in a "like-new" condition. Any temporary sign permitted by this chapter that evidences weathering or damage shall be immediately removed or replaced by the owner. Failure to do so shall subject the sign to the enforcement provisions of § 153.144 above.
(C) Storm events. All temporary signs permitted by this chapter shall be removed and safely stored within a structure upon the declaration by the State of Florida, Palm Beach County, or the National Weather Service of a tropical storm or hurricane watch or warning that includes the Town of Briny Breezes within the scope of the declaration and shall not be displayed until after the storm system has completely passed the town and the declaration has been lifted.
(D) Construction signs. Construction signs as defined herein, including signs identifying architects, engineers, contractors, tradesman and others engaged in construction work, are allowed to be posted on the premises of commercially-zoned (C-1) property wherein their work is proceeding. One sign per work site is allowed. Such sign shall be removed as soon as the work ceases or is completed.

Signs shall be removed promptly upon the conclusion of the event. One such temporary sign per event per C-1 parcel or lot is permitted.
(G) Temporary signs not for definite events. Temporary signs which are not associated with a definite event shall be permitted on commercially zoned (C-1) property at all times. By way of example, these are signs generally expressing allegiance (or opposition) to a school or sports team; or signs generally expressing support (or opposition) to an ideological, social-familial or political concept generally, but that are not associated with any particular election. One such temporary sign per C-1 parcel or lot is permitted.
