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 per calendar year for dwelling uses or fourteen (14) days per calendar year for all other uses. Temporary signs accessory to non-dwelling uses may not be erected more than six (6) times in a calendar year.
(b) A use may erect one temporary, off-premises sign on property in any district where permitted, 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 eight (8) feet in height and sixteen (16) square feet in area, and such area counts against the maximum sign area permitted on that lot.
(c) No more than one (1) temporary, off-premises sign may be displayed per lot, excluding commercial districts.
(d) Temporary signs shall be securely affixed to the ground or a building, or a pole designated only to a single temporary sign.
(e) 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.
