The purpose of this section is to address that temporary signs pose distinct concerns with visual clutter, safety in erection and display, and removal 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) A use may erect one 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 calendar year. Each sign shall be no more than and eight (8) feet in height and sixteen (16) square feet in area, which area counts against the maximum sign area permitted on that lot.
(c) No more than one permitted temporary sign may be displayed per lot in the single-family, multi-family, and conservation zoning districts.
(d) No more than two (2) permitted temporary signs may be displayed per lot in the mixed use and general commercial districts.
(e) Temporary signs shall be securely affixed to the ground or a building, or a pole designated only to a single temporary sign.
(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.
