Summary
Window signs in Taylorsville's nonresidential zones are limited to ground floor tenants and can't cover more than 25% of any single window or 25% of a group of windows combined. Total window signage is also capped at 64 cumulative square feet, and window signs plus wall signs together can't exceed 20% of the tenant's exterior wall area.
3. Window Signs: ... Window signs are allowed for ground floor tenants only. They shall not be located as to block clear view of exits or entrances or to create a safety hazard. The following shall also apply: a. They shall not cover more than twenty five percent (25%) of any single window, twenty five percent (25%) of the entire surface area of a group of windows. ... ... b. They shall not exceed sixty four (64) cumulative square feet nor shall the window signs and wall signs combined exceed twenty percent (20%) of the exterior wall area of the tenant. c. Temporary window signs shall not be displayed for more than thirty (30) calendar days.
Full Breakdown
Section 13.26.100(E)(3) of the Taylorsville City Code places window signs among the temporary signs allowed without a permit in nonresidential zones, but only for ground floor tenants; upper floor or basement tenants cannot install window signage under this provision. Coverage is limited two ways: no single window, or group of windows treated together, may carry more than 25 percent sign coverage, and separately, the tenant's window signs cannot exceed 64 cumulative square feet regardless of how many windows the space has. The code also folds window signs into the tenant's overall wall sign budget: window signs and wall signs combined cannot exceed 20 percent of the tenant's exterior wall area, so a storefront that is already near its wall sign allowance has correspondingly less room for window displays.
Signs cannot be positioned so they block the clear view of exits or entrances or otherwise create a safety hazard for people entering or leaving the space. Because window signs sit in the temporary sign chapter, the code also caps how long a temporary window sign can stay up: no more than 30 calendar days, under the same subsection as amended by Ordinance 19-08 in 2019. A permanent window graphic a tenant intends to keep long term would instead need to satisfy the permanent sign standards in 13.26.080 or 13.26.090, since the 30 day duration limit applies specifically to temporary window signage.
Violations & Fines
Window signage that exceeds the 25% single-window limit, the 64 square foot cumulative cap, or the combined 20% wall-and-window limit is an illegal sign under 13.26.020, and a temporary window sign left up past its 30 calendar day limit loses the permit exemption entirely. The Community Development director can issue a written notice of violation and order the excess signage removed or covered.
