Temporary signs pose distinct concerns with visual clutter, safety in erection and display, and clean-up when the time for display has concluded. Temporary signs also pose distinct concerns with materials quality. The following provisions and individual zoning of temporary signs per district serve to address these concerns.
(a) Temporary signs require a permit, except as provided in this article, and may be permitted up to thirty (30) days each calendar year.
(b) Temporary signs may be erected in any district in the following forms: banner, chalkboard sign, window sign, wall sign, and wicket signs. In the General Commercial and Industrial districts, the following additional temporary signs may be erected or utilized: feather sign, inflatable sign, and person assisted sign.
(c) A use may erect one (1) temporary, off-premises sign on property in any district, except residential districts, with the consent of the persons in charge of such properties, no more than two (2) times in one (1) calendar year. Each sign shall be no more than eight (8) feet in height and sixteen (16) square feet in area, which area counts against the maximum sign area permitted on that lot.
(d) No more than ten (10) permitted temporary signs may be displayed per lot in non-residential districts.
(e) Temporary signs that use thin wire frame (wicket style double "H" wire frame) are prohibited on public property and public right of ways. Temporary signs on public property and public right of ways shall be constructed of heavy metal angle iron frames or PVC bases.
(f) Person assisted signs shall not be located more than ten (10) feet from the entrance to a building or within ten (10) feet of a right-of-way.
