We have learned from this report and from discussions with DPW personnel that the posting of campaign signs and other advertising signs on neutral grounds, right of ways and on other public property is illegal. It is also illegal to post flyers on city traffic signs. These signs will be removed. In addition, signs on private property are regulated by size. "Signs no greater than eight (8) square feet are permitted in Zoning Districts A1, A2, A2.1, A2.5, A2.6, A2.7, A3.1, A3.2, A3.3, A4, A5, B, B1,NO, HR, HB and Rural."
See Unified Development Code Chapter 16-12 for more information. Thanks to the DPW crews who routinely remove illegal signs on medians and right of ways.
If you see an illegal yard sign and want to do something about it, call 311 to file a complaint. During recent elections, signs larger than 8 square feet seem to have become a frequent sight in residential areas. In addition to calling 311, residents can call the candidates' campaign headquarters to ask that they not pollute our neighborhoods with these large and illegal signs.
