Pylon signs are permitted only in the C-F Zone with retail uses such as gas stations, retail stores, motels, restaurants, theaters and automobile and recreational vehicle dealers when the sign is located within one hundred feet (100') of the I-15 corridor right-of-way line as a permitted use and within two hundred fifty feet (250') of the I-15 right-of-way line with a conditional use permit. Pylon signs may also be allowed with retail uses in the C-C Zone within fifty feet (50') of the Bangerter Highway right-of-way line with UDOT approval. Area And Height: The maximum allowable area and height of pylon signs in the C-F Zone shall be as follows ( ≤ means "less than or equal to"; > means "greater than"):

Full Breakdown
Pylon signs aimed at freeway traffic are tightly zone- and use-limited: only C-F Zone retail uses such as gas stations, retail stores, motels, restaurants, theaters, and auto/RV dealers qualify, and only within a set distance of I-15. Inside 100 feet of the I-15 corridor right-of-way, a pylon sign is a permitted use; between 100 and 250 feet it requires a conditional use permit. Along Bangerter Highway, pylon signs are also allowed with retail uses in the C-C Zone within 50 feet of the highway right-of-way, but only with UDOT approval. Height and area scale with lot size, up to 300 square feet and 50 feet tall on lots over 20 acres in the C-F Zone.
Violations & Fines
A pylon sign proposed outside the qualifying C-F retail uses, beyond the 250-foot conditional-use limit from I-15, or without UDOT sign-off along Bangerter Highway can be denied a permit or ordered removed by the city.
