Description: The objective of the Sign
Ordinance is to maintain and enhance the community’s overall
aesthetic environment, to minimize the possible
adverse effects of signs on nearby public and private
property and to improve pedestrian and traffic safety. Some
types of temporary signs, such as banners, may also be
permitted. Some sign proposals require Conditional Use
Permit or Planned Development (PD) approval; consult the
City's Sign Regulation or a Planner for guidance.
Examples: The City of Modesto regulates the
permitting, design, location, construction, erection,
modification, use, maintenance, and removal of signs. A sign
may only be erected, placed, established, painted, created,
or maintained in conformance with the requirements of the
ordinances.
PROCESS OVERVIEW:
Submit Preliminary proposal
The majority of sign packages can be approved without
the need of a preliminary review (if all submittal
criteria has been met); an exception would be a major
development project.
Submit an Application
In this particular case, an 'application' is referred
to as a 'Sign Package'; details below.
