Signs
Signs
The City of Fruita regulates the use, placement, dimensions and design of most signs. These regulations are contained within 17.41 Sign Code. Some signs, such as, real estate, garage sale, address, construction, notice boards, etc. are generally exempt as long as they comply with Chapter 17.41. No sign exempt or otherwise, is to be placed within a street right-of-way.
Several sign types are prohibited, such as flashing, roof, off-premises, portable, rotating, inflatable, flags & pennants, etc. A full list is defined in Section 17.41.050 Prohibited Signs.
To ensure compliance with the regulations of the sign code, a sign permit shall be required in order to erect, move, alter, reconstruct or repair any permanent or temporary sign, except signs that are exempt from permits in compliance with Section 17.41.040 (Exempt Signs). In multiple tenant commercial buildings, a separate permit shall be required for each business entity's sign(s). Separate planning clearances for building permits and building and electrical permits may be required for signs and will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Changing or replacing the copy on an existing lawful sign shall not require a permit, provided the copy change does not change the nature of the sign or render the sign in violation of the sign code.
Additional information regarding posting signs can be found under Garage/Yard Sales in the Sign Code.
It is recommended to contact the Community Development department prior to posting or displaying any sign to assure compliance with the code.
