Businesses located on the second level may be permitted signs with conditions. The LUO controls the number, size, location, and type of signs permitted. It also regulates whether signs can be illuminated. The zoning district regulates the size of the sign by the linear footage of building frontage, which is exclusive to the tenant space. Certain uses, such as service stations and outdoor car lots, have their own set of sign standards.
Most signs require a sign permit.
Applications for the permit are available at the Building Department and require a small filing fee. Parking You may need to provide additional off-street parking and loading spaces, depending on the proposed use and the amount of parking and loading currently available. For example, you wish to open a beauty salon on a property which was previously occupied by a medical clinic. A medical clinic has a parking requirement of 1 space per 400 square feet of floor area. A beauty salon, which is considered as personal services, has a parking requirement of 1 space per 300 square feet of floor area.
