Historic Preservation Commission reiterates sign rules: backlit and neon signs not permitted
Summary
The commission recorded approval notes limiting sign types and placement: backlit, internally lit and neon signs are prohibited; lighted/LED signs allowed only if installed two feet inside the window and not flashing or scrolling.
The Village of Ridgefield Park Historic Preservation Commission's July 23 minutes include explicit sign-approval guidance for applicants. The minutes state that "Backlit, internally lit, and neon signs are not permitted. Lighted/LED signs are only permitted if they are installed 2 feet inside the window. No flashing or scrolling lights/signs are permitted." These provisions are recorded as conditions attached to any approval.
The minutes also clarify that sign approvals must conform with the town's Zoning Ordinance and be approved by the Zoning Officer, and that any deviations from approved plans — including materials or colors — must be presented to the commission before work proceeds. The record frames these notes as standing administrative requirements for applicants seeking approval.
