A sign permit must be obtained from the city before weekend development directional signs can be placed. The permit will allow the permit holder to place a maximum of four weekend development directional signs per development, at locations throughout the city. The signs are only allowed from 6:00 p.m. on Friday until 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. Any signs being displayed without an approved permit or at any time other than the above-mentioned times will be removed by the city.

(b)

These signs may contain the name of the subdivision, a directional arrow and the words "new homes for sale" and/or "new model homes," only. In order for the city to contact the developer if the need arises, the signs must contain the name of the developer and a current phone number.

These signs shall be no larger than six square feet and cannot be higher than four feet above grade. No sign may be placed closer than 30 feet from an intersection, closer than six feet from the back of the curb or from the edge of the pavement and shall not be placed in the center median. The sign shall not be placed within 500 feet from the intersection of I-30 and FM 740 or the intersection of I-30 and SH 205. If the sign is to be placed on private property, written permission must be obtained from the property owner and provided to the city with the permit application. These signs shall not obstruct the vision of traffic on the roadway. Any signs determined to be in a location that causes an immediate hazard to public safety may be immediately removed by the city. These signs must only direct traffic to properties located within the city limits.

(d)

Weekend development directional signs shall be no less than 60 feet from any other weekend development directional sign.
