Summary
Peachtree City council approved a text amendment to Chapter 66 to reconcile roof sign and parapet-wall definitions and regulations; Planning Commission had recommended approval and there were no public speakers at the hearing.
Peachtree City council opened and closed a public hearing on a proposed text amendment to the sign ordinance that reconciles conflicting definitions and regulations for roof signs and parapet-wall signs.
Planner Shayla Reed explained that the existing code contained a definition that described roof signs but elsewhere allowed above-parapet signage, creating inconsistency. The Planning Commission reviewed the language, recommended approval at its Sept. 8, 2025 meeting, and staff presented an amendment that clarifies the definition and removes the allowance for signs above a parapet wall in the cited section.
The mayor opened the public hearing and no members of the public spoke either in favor or opposition. Council then moved to approve the text amendment; the motion passed by voice vote.
Staff indicated the change is intended to align definitions and remove conflicting allowances in Chapter 66 rather than to create new sign categories.
