Participants say temporary signage allowances reach nearly six months; staff asked to post pamphlet online
Summary
At a Daytona Beach Shores meeting, speakers discussed temporary banner and other temporary signage rules — noting nearly six months of allowed display under the city code — and asked staff to place a business-facing pamphlet on the city website.
Business owner (unnamed) said the city's existing rules for temporary signage already allow extended display, noting: "Plus banner signage plus additional signage that we have in our code of ordinances, we have total of almost 6 months to have temporary signage as a business owner in the new insurance." Meeting participants said that created confusion about other timing references such as 21 and 14 days.
The exchange led to a request that staff post a pamphlet explaining temporary-sign rules on the city website. One meeting participant asked, "Could we put the pamphlet somehow on the website?" and later addressed staff directly: "Yes. Can you take care of that, Stuart?" The participant thanked Stuart after the request was agreed to.
Why it matters: business owners told the meeting they want clearer, publicly accessible guidance on how the city's temporary-sign rules apply so they can plan promotions without risking code violations. Participants framed the change as an administrative fix — posting explanatory material online — rather than a code amendment.
Meeting context and next steps: Stuart (staff member) was asked to post the pamphlet on the website. The transcript records the request and an acknowledgement, but does not record a formal motion, vote, timeline for posting, or the pamphlet's final content. The city's code of ordinances is referenced by participants as the source for the temporary-sign rules, but the meeting did not include a reading of specific sections or an ordinance number.
The meeting also included other agenda items not covered here.
