Holiday decorations are explicitly exempt from sign-permit requirements under LDC §14-11-10(C). Temporary holiday displays don't require permits regardless of size, illumination, or duration.
§14-11-10(C) is straightforward — temporary holiday decorations are exempt sign-category. This includes Christmas lights, inflatables, animated displays, and seasonal banners. However, decorations must still comply with general public-safety rules: no obstruction of sight-visibility triangles at intersections (§14-7-2), no placement in city right-of-way without permit (§38-118), no electrical hazards (NEC compliance), no extreme light glare onto neighboring properties (§14-6-51). Decorations should be removed within a reasonable time after the holiday — extended display (e.g., year-round Christmas lights still operating) may trigger zoning enforcement as nonconforming permanent signs.
Sec. 1-22(b)(7) — $150 sign violation if decoration becomes effectively permanent advertising. Right-of-way obstructions under Sec. 38-118 enforced separately.
