Its staff is committed to providing a favorable atmosphere for businesses while also maintaining a pleasant living space for citizens. The city's comprehensive sign ordinances are listed here, but for your convenience, information on the most common types of temporary commercial signs is provided below in a simplified form. Grand opening signs: With the approval of the DPDS, a new business can display signs advertising its opening for up to 30 days. This is the only circumstance in which free-standing outdoor signs are permitted
Holiday promotional signs: Businesses do not need the DPDS's approval to display promotional signs related to Christmas or New Years for up to 15 days, and signs related to six other specified holidays for up to 5 days. Other large promotional banners: The DPDS's approval is required for all other promotional banners over 20 square feet in surface area.
