§ 94-47. Temporary residential development identification signs.

Temporary residential development identification signs may be erected for the purpose of identifying and/or advertising lots, building sites, or condominium dwelling units for sale within a residential subdivision or a residentially zoned planned unit development. One temporary residential development identification sign is allowed per entrance onto a collector or arterial street type as defined by Table 5-A Street Design Specifications in article 5 of the Land Development Code. Said sign may be erected following the issuance of a sign permit per the provisions of section 94-63 (Application) and the additional following requirements:

(a)

Area: Sign shall not exceed ten feet in height and 32 square feet in area.

(b)

Quantity: One temporary residential development identification sign is allowed per entrance onto a collector or arterial street. (Street types defined by Table 5-A Street Design Specifications of the Land Development Code).

(c)

Location: Sign may not be located within street rights-of-way, stormwater detention basins or conservation easements. Sign may be located on a commons area lot located at the subdivision or condominium site entrance or within a temporary sign easement provided for the express purpose of a temporary residential development identification sign. The temporary sign easement shall expire upon removal of the temporary residential development identification sign.

(d)

Maintenance: Sign must be aesthetically maintained and remain free of deterioration, including, but not limited to, flaking or peeling paint or rust.

(e)

Removal: Sign may remain in place until 90 percent of the lots or condominium dwelling units to which the sign refers are sold, after which it shall be removed within 30 days at the developer's or owner's expense. Vacant lots, building sites, or condominium dwelling units which are sold by or otherwise come under separate ownership from the original developer may utilize the provisions of this section only if the new owner collectively owns ten percent or greater of the total lots, building sites or condominium dwelling units within the subdivision or development. Regardless of the number of owners of vacant lots/building sites or available condominium units within the subdivision, there shall be no more than one temporary residential development identification sign per entrance.
