Garfield permits one small nameplate identifying a professional office within a residential dwelling, with strict size, illumination, and projection limits under Chapter 341 Article X sign regulations.
In Garfield's R (residential) districts, Chapter 341 allows one nameplate not exceeding one square foot to identify a professional office conducted within the dwelling. Illumination must be indirect and nonintermittent. No sign may project over any street. Chapter 272 Signs provides additional citywide controls. For-sale and for-rent signs may not exceed four square feet and must reference only the property displayed.
Erecting an oversized nameplate, using flashing or direct illumination, projecting signs over public streets, or installing signs without conforming to district rules can lead to removal orders and municipal fines.
