New Code / Signage

CIG-7

Observation

The current city-parish sign ordinance was con-ceived for the highway strip and is not appropriate to pedestrian environments.

Discussion

Signs are allowed to be too big, and required to be further from the right-of-way than possible (15 ft.) given the historic setbacks.

Recommendation

A separate sign ordinance must be passed for residential-scale properties in Spanish Town and Beauregard Town.

Responsibility
