Historic Preservation Commission reiterates permit and signage rules for applicants
Summary
The commission reminded applicants that approvals are subject to securing construction permits and conforming to the zoning ordinance; it restated sign rules including no backlit or neon signs and that LED signs must be set 2 feet inside windows with no flashing or scrolling.
The Ridgefield Park Historic Preservation Commission used its March 26, 2026 minutes to restate procedural requirements for applicants. The minutes emphasize that any commission approvals remain conditional on applicants obtaining required construction permits and that approvals for signs must conform with the municipal zoning ordinance and be approved by the zoning officer.
The minutes also list specific sign restrictions: backlit, internally lit and neon signs are not permitted; lighted/LED signs are allowed only if they are installed two feet inside the window; and no flashing or scrolling lights or signs are permitted. The commission directed that any deviations from approved plans, including changes in materials, finishes or colors, must be presented to the Historic Preservation Commission before work proceeds.
The guidance was recorded as an approval note in the minutes to guide applicants and staff during review and permitting.
