Part 5 : Sign Regulations
5.3 Administration and authorization
Unless specifically exempted from the requirements to obtain a development permit, all signs, structures for signs, and any enlargement, relocation, erection, construction or alteration of a sign shall require a development permit.
A development permit application for a sign shall:
- (a) be made in writing on the appropriate application form and submitted together with the appropriate fees as approved in the Fees, Rates and Charges Bylaw and, shall include:
- (i) the signature of the registered owner(s) of the land (or their representative or agent);
- (ii) the civic address of the building, structure or lot on which the sign is to be erected, altered or replaced;
- (iii) drawings to scale, giving dimensions, materials, finishes, colour schemes, letter fonts and sizes, graphics, logos and type of illumination;
- (iv) drawings illustrating the position of the sign and the method of attachment;
- (v) a site plan showing the location of any existing or proposed signs, whether on a building or on a parcel of land;
- (vi) a drawing signed and sealed by a professional engineer illustrating the details of attachment and assembly, at the discretion of the development authority; and
- (vii) the proposed purpose or message on the sign.
A development permit shall not be required for the routine maintenance and repair, changing the copy, or reducing the copy area of a legally existing sign.
The development authority may waive the requirement for a separate development permit for signage where they are satisfied that all required information and details for signage has been provided with an application for a building or portion of a building.
Section 5.3(4) shall also apply to instances where a change tenancy within a building is proposed and details of the prospective tenant’s signage have been provided to the development authority.
