Commission reviews maximum sign sizes and permit requirements across zones
Summary
The planning commission reviewed proposed maximum sizes and permit requirements for apartment house and apartment complex identification signs in RO, RT, Borough Center, Commercial and Industrial zones, including a 160 sq. ft. cap (or 3 sq. ft. per linear foot of frontage) for apartment complexes.
The commission examined proposed maximum sizes for identification signs and whether permits would be required. Minutes list the following drafts: for RO & RT Zones, 'Identification of apartment house'—20 sq. ft. (permit required) and 'Identification of apartment complex'—160 sq. ft. (or 3 sq. ft. for each linear foot of building frontage, whichever is greater, and can be made up of multiple signs). Similar entries were recorded for the Borough Center and for Commercial & Industrial zones (with a larger 32 sq. ft. allowance for apartment house in Commercial & Industrial).
The minutes show the commission recording these figures as proposed limits and marking them as permit-required items; the commission did not adopt final ordinance language at the meeting and left the size/permit items for further review.
