The city code has no specific guidelines on these signs <br />other than a definition. <br /> If banners or signs are allowed without regulations, some businesses would use them as <br />permanent signage, or they will remain in place for long periods of time, and then they will <br />deteriorate. <br /> Some types of temporary signage are maybe not really temporary – example: the metal <br />framed sign in the front yard of Super America- only the insert is changed out, but the <br />frame isn’t permanently attached to the ground
