New Milford City Zoning Code

§ 30-29.5

Comprehensive Sign Design Review by Planning Board.

[Ord. No. 2001:14]
a. 
A sign applicant or agent for a building occupied by a multiple-tenanted building must apply to the Planning Board for a comprehensive sign design review. The comprehensive sign design review is a vehicle to encourage the imaginative integration of signage into the framework of a new or existing building. Under this plan, the total area of signs on a single- or multiple- tenanted building may, upon approval of the Planning Board, be at variance to the maximum regulations set forth in the sign ordinances. Upon completion, the necessary application is to be filed with the Construction Official.
b. 
In applying comprehensive sign design, the Planning Board shall consider, but will not be limited to, such factors as:
1. 
The extent of variation to the regulations of the ordinances;
2. 
The effect of the sign on neighboring properties;
3. 
The proportion of sign area to the proportion of wall area where the sign is to be located;
4. 
The positioning of the sign within the architectural framework of the building.
c. 
An application for a comprehensive sign design review must be filed with the Construction Official and shall include:
1. 
A scaled elevation drawing of the entire building facade(s);
2. 
The proposed sign(s) clearly delineated on the elevation drawing, plus detailed drawings, as deemed necessary by the Construction Official and/or Planning Board, indicating color and style of lettering;
3. 
An eight by ten (8" x 10") inch color photograph(s);
4. 
An agency authorization of all tenants or occupants of a tenanted building, stating their intention to participate in a comprehensive sign design.
d. 
The sign(s) must conform to this section in all other respects.
