Full Breakdown
There's no freestanding digital billboard use in South Jordan: electronic message displays must be built into an approved pylon sign in the C-F and P-C Zones, or a monument sign in the C-C, C-F, P-O and P-C Zones. The electronic portion can't exceed half of the total allowed pylon or monument sign area for that zone. Only low-wattage lighting is permitted, copy must hold static for a minimum of three seconds per display, and flashing or scrolling content is prohibited outright. The electronic message portion must sit on the lower level of the sign, below the development's identification and tenant signage.
Violations & Fines
A stand-alone digital billboard isn't allowed at all: building one, exceeding the 50% area cap, or running flashing or scrolling content violates Chapter 16.36 and can be ordered removed as an illegal sign.
