The Administrator may issue a special permit for a temporary on-premise sign in any zone in connection with the marketing of lots or structures in a subdivision, subject to the following conditions:
(a) Time Limit. Such permits may be issued for a period not to exceed one year. The Administrator may renew such permits for additional periods of up to one year for each permit upon written application at least thirty days prior to its expiration.
(b) Type of Sign. The word "signs" as used in this chapter refers to all types of signs except signs exempted under Chapter 1391, and those prohibited under Chapter 1393.
(c) Copy and Area. The off-site sign may contain advertising in connection with the name of the subdivision, development firm, building contractor or real estate sales firm, and may refer to materials, appliances, supplies and building trades used in construction of the dwelling units, or services provided by the developer. The maximum area of the sign shall be sixty-four square feet in any residential district.
(d) Location. Any subdivision development sign shall comply with all applicable setback requirements for the zoning district in which the property is located. No such sign shall be permitted to remain in one subdivision or in one unit of a subdivision for the purpose of advertising the sale of lots or structures in another subdivision, or another unit within the same subdivision, without the express permission of the Administrator.
