Full Breakdown
In Commercial and Mixed-Use zoning districts, window signage can't exceed 25% of the area of a window or glass door system under Henderson Development Code § 19.13.4.B.8, Table 19.13.4-11. Storefront glazing counts as a single window if the framing between glass panels is 2 inches wide or less. No sign permit is required for compliant window signs, but painted-on window signs are prohibited outright. Industrial districts get a different formula tied to allowable wall signage, with a 50/50 perforation cap on any excess.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding the 25% window-coverage cap or installing a painted-on window sign violates the Development Code and is enforced as a code violation under HMC Chapter 19.35, subject to correction or citation.
