West Jordan, UT Sign Regulations: Freeway-Facing Signs (2026)

Section 12-3-3(F) is a single operative sentence, but it draws a hard line: freeway oriented signs get approved only as part of an overall sign plan for a regional shopping center, not as a stand-alone application. Title 12's definitions section backs that up, defining a freeway oriented sign as an on-premises sign located on a regional commercial SC-3 zoned site that is adjacent to a limited access highway or freeway, meaning the sign type is tied to a specific zoning designation before the section 12-3-3(F) approval pathway even comes into play.

The citywide sign standards table referenced in section 12-3-2 sets the numbers that go with that approval: a freeway oriented sign can reach up to 950 square feet at a maximum height of 50 feet, or, for master planned developments with 5,000 or more linear feet of freeway frontage, up to 1,500 square feet including any shopping center logo area, with up to two signs allowed at a maximum height of 72 feet. The frontage-based spacing rule limits these developments to one freeway oriented sign for every 800 feet of highway frontage. Because the sign has to be part of an overall sign plan, a property owner cannot simply apply for a stand-alone freeway sign permit; the plan review happens at the development level, tying the sign's location, size and height to the broader commercial project rather than to an individual parcel.
