Full Breakdown
Table 13.03.02.05, Window Sign Standards, applies one uniform standard across all nine zoning-district groupings in the city: from RA/ES/SR/SU/OR/OG/ETJ through PA. Window signs are allowed by-right, require no sign permit, and face no numeric limit on the maximum or total number per frontage, but total coverage may not exceed 25% of the total window area per tenant space. Maximum height and inter-sign spacing standards are marked not applicable to this sign type. The rule sits in Article 13.03, Attached Signs, administered by the Sign Administrator (Director of Development Services).
Violations & Fines
Failure to comply with the Sign Regulations chapter is a class C misdemeanor under § 13.05.004(d), fined per the general penalty (§ 1.01.009, up to $500/day); the Sign Administrator can also order a noncompliant sign removed at the owner's expense.
