Contractor signs can be of any size. shape. or quality. PossmLE SOLUTION: A general provision allowing a "non-illuminated sign announcing the names of architects, engineers, contractors, or other individuals or ftrms involved with the construction, alteration or repair of a building (but not including advertisement of any product) or announcing the character if the building enterprise or purpose for which the building is intended. Such signs shall be co~ed to iÞt!ew.~ of construction, alteration or repair, shall be constructed of high quality material, añâs"ãtr6e Fémoved when the particular project or building under continuous construction is issued theftrst Certificate of Occupancy. No more than one construction sign shall be allowed on each major street frontage the project abuts." The size of the sign shall be regulated as such: In R-I and R-2 Districts, such signs may not exceed 10 square feet. In all other Districts, Buildings 100,000 square feet and less are allowed one 48 square foot sign, buildings 101,000 - 250,000 square feet are allowed one 60 square foot sign and buildings over 250,000 square feet are allowed a 80 square foot sign. PRINCIPLE BEHIND SOLUTION: There needs to be some regulation of contractor signs. The regulation should describe what can be on the sign, where it can be located. and when it should be removed. As for sign size, there are two approaches, both with merits. The first gives an finite area, this to ensure that contractor signs do not overwhelm the site. The second regulates the size of the sign by building mass. Since other business signs are regulated in this manner, it would be appropriate for contractor signs to be treated the same way.
