Historic Preservation Commission restates permit and sign rules, posts 2026 meeting calendar
Summary
The Ridgefield Park Historic Preservation Commission reiterated that approvals require construction permits and sign approvals must conform to the zoning ordinance; the minutes list prohibited sign types and the full 2026 meeting schedule for the third‑floor courtroom.
The commission’s minutes reiterate that any approvals remain subject to applicants securing construction permits for all work reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission and that sign approvals must conform to the municipal zoning ordinance and be approved by the zoning officer before installation.
The minutes explicitly state signage restrictions in uppercase: "BACKLIT, INTERNALLY LIGHTED, AND NEON SIGNS ARE NOT PERMITTED) LIGHTED/LED SIGNS ARE ONLY PERMITTED IF THEY ARE INSTALLED 2' INSIDE THE WINDOW. NO FLASHING OR SCROLLING LIGHTS/SIGNS PERMITTED." The minutes further direct that any deviations from approved plans, including changes in materials or colors, must be presented to the HPC prior to work.
The commission also posted its 2026 meeting schedule: monthly meetings on the fourth Thursday (normally) at 6:00 p.m. in the third‑floor courtroom of the municipal building, with specific dates including Jan. 22, Feb. 26, Mar. 26, Apr. 23, May 28, June 25, July 23, Aug. 27, Sep. 24, Oct. 22, Nov. 12 (two weeks early), and Dec. 10 (two weeks early). The minutes were "Respectfully submitted, Barbara DeLuca," and distributed to the Building Department, Zoning Board, and Planning Board.
