Summary

The James Island Planning Commission on Feb. 13 recommended an amendment that defines "snipe signs," allows small signs for civic and institutional uses only, requires removal within 10 days, and requires permits for signs larger than 12 square feet.

The James Island Planning Commission voted on Feb. 13 to recommend an amendment to the town's zoning and land-development regulations to define "snipe signs" and limit their use.

The amendment would explicitly define snipe signs as the small, ground-poked signs commonly seen along rights-of-way; it would allow signs under 12 square feet for civic or institutional uses without a zoning permit so long as they are removed within 10 consecutive days, and it would require a zoning permit for signs larger than 12 square feet.
