[OMS_MANAGERS] A-frame sign design guidelines

[Dan Fleishman]

Suzanne,

Below is the section of our code regarding sidewalk signs. (graphics
stolen from Portland's (I think) code.)  We don't have any review or
require a permit, if one appears that doesn't meet the standards, I just
stop in and chat with the business owner. 

f.    Sidewalk Signs.  Any business located in the CCMU, DCMU, or DRMU
zone may have one sign erected on the public sidewalk in conformance
with the following standards. (Added Ord. 902, May 7, 2008) (Amended
Ord. 930, November 18, 2010)

       i.   A sidewalk sign shall be either an A-frame sandwich sign or
be a hanging sign supported by a metal frame inserted into a hole the
sidewalk provided by the City. (Added Ord. 902, May 7, 2008)

       ii.   The sign shall be entirely outside of the area of a
right-of-way corner that is between the curb and the lines created by
extending the property line to the curb face.  See Figure
17.20.140.9-A.1(Added Ord. 902, May 7, 2008) 

      iii.   A sidewalk sign shall be placed either within six inches of
the curb line or within 2 feet of the front lot line, in order to
minimize interference with pedestrians.  In either location, the sign
shall not obstruct a continuous through pedestrian zone of at least six
feet in width.  See Figure 17.20.140.9-A.2 (added Ord. 902, May 7, 2008)

	
	 	 

      iv.   The maximum sign area of a sandwich sign shall be 6 square
feet, counting only one side of the sandwich sign.  The maximum sign
area of a hanging sign shall be 4 square feet. (Added Ord. 902, May 7,
2008)

      v.   A sidewalk sign may be erected only during the hours a
business is open. (Added Ord. 902, May 7, 2008)

      vi.   A sidewalk sign shall not be illuminated. (Added Ord. 902,
May 7, 2008)

Subject: [OMS_MANAGERS] A-frame sign design guidelines

 

Hello all,

 

The City of Sandy recently established a committee to review the design
of A-frame (sandwich board) signs. Currently we have a required standard
A-frame design. Our goal is to allow for more creativity and flexibility
in design. 

 

I'm looking for examples of design standards and review procedures from
other communities who conduct design review of A-frames.

 

Any input is appreciated.
