On a 5-2 vote, Sept. 2, the Fountain Hills Town Council made new revisions to the sign regulations found in the town’s Zoning Ordinance.
Development Services Director John Wesley presented proposals that include allowance for use of an additional A-frame sign per business with an increase in size to eight-square-feet. When more than one sign is used the maximum aggregate total is 11- square-feet, with a maximum of two per business. Restrictions on limiting the placement of signs to business hours were removed.
Mayor Gerry Friedel said most business owners are not going to abuse the sign allowance. “They just want the opportunity to be a success,” he said.
