Temp Signage Allowed

More signage news from around the world from Hants and Dorset Signs as fter requests from the Ridgway Area Chamber of Commerce Colorado and the recently-formed Temporary Signage Task Force, members of the Ridgway Town Council directed staff at its Dec. 9 meeting to draft changes to town ordinances making it legal for business owners to place temporary tent signs or easels outside their businesses. These types of temporary signs are currently prohibited by town policy.

While some town councilmembers said they are reluctant to change the current policy, in light of the current economic conditions they are willing to consider changes that might benefit local businesses.

The nine-member Temporary Signage Task Force was formed after a Sept. 16 town council work session where members of the RACC Board of Directors said many business owners wanted to be able to use temporary signs for advertising purposes. Since the task force was formed, it has met twice and drafted recommendations to town council for its review.

Town Manager Greg Clifton, who sits on the task force with councilmembers John Clark and Eric Johnson as well as one Ridgway Planning Commissioner member, one RACC member and one non-RACC member, said the group has had two productive meeting. The group is recommending that businesses be allowed to erect temporary signs as long as they are displayed in a manner that does not create a nuisance and are taken down during non- business hours. Furthermore, the signs should have an aggregate face of no more than three square feet in the Residential and Historic Residential Zoning districts and 16 square feet in all other zoning districts.
