The Snellville City Council recently voted unanimously to approve changes to the city’s sign ordinance that clarifies the definition of signs and where they are allowed.
The first text amendment excludes the first 24 inches of a monument base height when calculating the size of the sign since all monument signs are required to have a minimum 24-inch base height.
The changes also add a new definition for entrance signs which reads, “A permanent sign located at a public street or private driveway entrance to a platted residential subdivision/development, multi-family development, non- residential office park or industrial park, or office-condominium development which identifies said development or subdivision.” Entrance signs are then limited to no more than two per entrance into any subdivision, multi-family development, non-residential office park or industrial park, or office-condominium development.
The amended ordinance also removes the word ‘structure’ from the definition of wall signs and prohibits signs attached to a retaining wall.
