<br />Little Canada Zoning Ordinance General Provisions <br />903-45 <br />mounted up to, but no higher than, the peak of the roof. Banners may be <br />up to thirty-six (36) square feet in size. Banners are only allowed to <br />advertise a specific promotional event with a defined time period as <br />evidenced on the permit application. Banners may not be used solely for <br />general advertising of a business name or product. Banners and pennants <br />shall be maintained in an aesthetically pleasing manner and shall be free of <br />tears, fraying, or fading when viewed from the public right-of-way. <br />Banners must be affixed to the building or mounted between the poles of <br />an existing, double-post pylon sign securely affixed by all four corners. In <br />the case of pennants, they must also be affixed to the building or a pylon <br />sign and secured by both ends. The City will remove banners and pennants <br />that are not maintained in an appropriate manner. Banners and pennants <br />may not encroach into the public right-of-way. <br /> <br />c. A lighter than air balloon, blow up sign, no more than thirty-five (35) feet <br />in diameter, may be used as a temporary sign no more than one (1) time a <br />year for no more than five (5) consecutive days, except in the case of a <br />“Grand Opening” as provided for in Section 903.110.C.5.e of this <br />Ordinance. <br /> <br />d. Each application for a temporary sign shall be accompanied by a fee, set <br />by resolution of the City Council, which shall cover the administrative <br />expenses of the permit. In addition, each application shall be accompanied <br />by a deposit, set by resolution of the City Council, which shall be returned <br />to the applicant upon request, and only in the event that the temporary sign <br />has been removed by the date of the expiration of the permit. In the event <br />that the sign is not removed by the permit expiration date, the City shall <br />not refund the deposit. The City may apply other enforcement remedies as <br />well. <br /> <br />e. New businesses in the “B”, “PUD” or “I” Districts shall be allowed <br />additional temporary sign permits during the first six months of the <br />opening of a new business. These “new business temporary signs” shall <br />not exceed three (3) signs consisting of a combination of portable signs, <br />banners, pennants, and lighter than air balloons as allowed in <br />903.110.C.4.c. of this Ordinance. Only one of said signs may be a <br />portable sign as defined as temporary under Section 903.110.C.5 of this <br />Ordinance. Display of said signs shall not exceed a period of thirty (30) <br />days. No such additional sign will be allowed if it interferes with the use <br />of adjacent property or constitutes a danger to public health, welfare or <br />well-being, or if it does not conform to the other provisions of this section. <br /> <br />6. No sign or sign structure shall protrude over public right-of-way, except wall <br />signs (maximum protrusion - eighteen (18) inches). All signs located over public <br />right-of-way or over any public or private access route (sidewalks, etc.) shall be <br />located a minimum of ten (10) feet above surface grade.
