Temporary signs shall be subject to the following general requirements:
(a) The application for a permit for a temporary sign shall include the time period for which the sign is to be displayed, not to exceed thirty (30) days during any consecutive twelve (12) month period. The date the sign is first displayed shall be legibly displayed on the sign. A permit may be renewed for an additional thirty (30) days with the approval of the Board of Zoning Appeals.
(c) Temporary signs shall be constructed of such material that will allow the sign to be maintained in good repair for the period it is to be displayed. Generally, the use of unprotected cardboard or paper products as sign material shall be prohibited, unless it is demonstrated that this standard is met.

(e) Folding portable signs shall be permitted in the DE District if such signs are anchored so as to prevent accidental collapse.
(f) Banners less than twenty (20) square feet in area are permitted as temporary signs, provided such banners are secured to prevent movement which would allow any portion of the banner to extend into the street right-of-way.
(g) Streamers and/or inflatable devices may be permitted as temporary signs.
(h) Temporary portable freestanding changeable copy signs and other portable signs shall be permitted in nonresidential districts.
