(Ord. #637-99)

26-89.2 Permit Procedure.

No sign except those exempted by subsection 26-89.1 above shall be placed, constructed, erected or modified unless a sign permit shall have been obtained from the Zoning Officer and, where required by the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, a building permit shall have been obtained from the Construction Official.

When installation or modification of a sign has been approved by the Board as part of a development application, the Construction Official shall issue a sign permit only if the proposed sign is consistent with the Board's approval.

Site Plan Approval. The Zoning Officer may waive the requirement for site plan approval only if s/he finds that the proposed signs meet the requirements of this section. If a request for waiver of site plan is denied by the Zoning Officer, the applicant may apply for waiver of site plan or for site plan approval from the Board having jurisdiction.

(Ord. #637-99)

26-89.3 Measurement of Sign Area.

Measurement of Area of Individual Signs. The area of a sign face (which is also the sign area of a wall sign or other sign with only one (1) face) shall be computed by means of the smallest square, circle, rectangle, triangle or combination thereof that will encompass the extreme limits of the writing, graphic illustration, picture, symbol or other display, together with any material or color forming an integral part of the background of the sign and used to differentiate the sign from the backdrop or structure against which it is placed, but not including any supporting framework, bracing or decorative fence or wall when such fence or wall otherwise meets zoning regulations and is clearly incidental to the sign itself. No sign shall have more than two (2) display faces. The sign area for a sign with two (2) faces shall be computed by adding together the area of all sign faces visible from any one (1) point. When a sign having two (2) faces is such that both faces cannot be viewed from any point at the same time, the sign area shall be computed by the measurement of the larger of the two (2) faces. For purposes of calculating window signs, a window shall be considered the glazed area. Signs which are required by County, State or Federal agencies are exempt from calculation of permanent and temporary signage up to the minimum size required by such agencies. The area of the sign in excess of the minimum shall be subject to the sign calculation. In the event no size requirement is imposed by such agency, the sign shall not exceed one (1) square foot.

Measurement of Height . The height of a freestanding sign shall be computed as the distance from the base of the sign at normal grade to the top of the highest attached component of the sign. Normal grade shall be construed to be the lower of existing grade prior to construction or the newly established grade after construction, exclusive of any filling, berming, mounding or excavation solely for the purpose of locating the sign. In cases in which the normal grade cannot reasonably be determined, sign height shall be computed on the assumption that the elevation of the normal grade at the base of the sign is equal to the elevation of the nearest point of the crown of a public road or the grade of the land at the principal entrance to the principal structure on the lot, whichever is lower.

(Ord. #637-99)

26-89.4 General Regulations.

Signs shall be in harmony and consistent with the architecture of the building and relate to the features of the building in terms of location, scale, color, lettering, materials, texture and depth. Signs shall not be dominant but shall be proportionate and shall complement the building, existing signs and surroundings.

There shall be consistent sign design throughout a particular project. The design elements include style of lettering, construction material, size and illumination. Lettering on signs shall not extend more than fifteen (15″) inches from the base face.

Signs intended for permanent use shall be constructed of durable materials and shall be permanently affixed to the ground, building or other structure as permitted herein at the location for which approval was received.

Building signs shall not obscure, conflict with or cover any architectural element and must be aligned with major building elements such as windows, trim and structure lines.

No sign shall extend or project above the highest elevation of the wall to which it is attached or above the lowest part of the roofline of the building, whichever is less.

No sign shall be located less than ten (10′) feet from a residential zone boundary.

Illuminated Signs.

Signs lit by external sources shall be allowed but shall be located in such a manner so as to avoid any glare on adjacent property. Sources of sign illumination shall be completely shielded from the view of vehicular traffic using the road or roads abutting the lot on which the sign is located.

External lights used for the illumination of any sign on a building whether or not such light fixtures are attached to or separate from the building, shall not extend above the highest elevation of the front wall of the building or more than eighteen (18′) feet above the street level of the premises, whichever is less.

(Ord. #637-99)

26-89.5 Prohibited Signs.

No off-site advertising sign shall be erected, used or maintained within the Borough of Sayreville; provided, however, that this regulation shall not apply to temporary signs otherwise permitted by this subsection.

No signs shall be placed on fences, utility poles, trees, railway or road bridges, bridge supports or abutments, retaining walls, or water towers unless approved by the Borough Council.

No sign shall be placed on an accessory building.

No roof-top mounted signs, beacons, inflatable signs and/or tethered balloons shall be allowed.

No sign shall be lighted by means of a flashing light or exposed neon, nor shall any sign be in whole or in part moving, mobile or revolving or electrically or mechanically activated.

No sign shall be allowed with optical illusion of movement by means of a design which presents a pattern capable of reverse perspective, giving the illusion of motion or changing of copy.

No commercial sign shall be allowed in a window which serves a residential use.

The use and display of temporary portable signs or windsocks, banners or strings or streamers of flags, pennants or spinners or similar objects and devices across, upon, over or along any premises or building, whether as part of any sign or for advertising or public attraction, or otherwise, is prohibited in any zone, except for:

Temporary displays in business or commercial zones as provided in this section.

Temporary decorations customarily used for holidays, or for special events as may be approved by the Borough Council.

No signs shall be allowed that are placed on or affixed to vehicles and/or trailers which are parked on a public right-of-way, public property or private property so as to be visible from a public right-of-way where the apparent purpose is to advertise a product, service or activity or direct people to a business or activity located on the same or nearby property. This is not intended, however, to prohibit signs placed on or affixed to vehicles or trailers where the sign is incidental to the primary use of the vehicle or trailer.

No sign shall be allowed which obstructs any window or door opening used as a means of egress, interferes with an opening required for legal ventilation, or is attached to or obstructs any standpipe, fire escape or fire hydrant.

No sign shall be allowed which obstructs the view of vehicle operators or pedestrians entering a public roadway from any parking area, service drive, public driveway, alley or other thoroughfare.

No temporary signs shall be allowed except as detailed in subsection a.

(Ord. #637-99)

26-89.6 Non-conforming Signs.

No non-conforming sign may be enlarged or altered in a way which would increase its nonconformity. Existing non-conforming permanent signs may continue to exist; however, when the sign is modified either in shape, size, illumination or structure, the sign shall be altered to conform to the provisions of this section.

Should any non-conforming sign be damaged by any means to an extent of more than fifty (50%) percent of its replacement cost at time of damage, it shall not be reconstructed except in conformity with the provisions of this section.

(Ord. #637-99)

26-89.7 Removal of Certain Signs. In the event a business ceases operation for a period of time in excess of sixty (60) days, the sign owner or lessee, or the property owner, shall immediately remove any sign identifying or advertising said business or any product sold thereby. Upon failure of the sign owner or lessee, or property owner to comply with this section, the Zoning Officer shall issue a written notice to the sign owner or any lessee and to the property owner, which notice shall state that such sign shall be removed within the following time period: sign face: sixty (60) days; posts, columns and supporting structures: one (1) year. If the sign owner or lessee, or property owner, fails to comply with such written notice to remove, the Zoning Officer is hereby authorized to cause removal of such sign, and any expenses incidental to such removal shall be charged to the owner of the property upon which the sign is located and shall constitute a lien upon the property. For the purpose of this section, the word "remove" shall mean:

The sign face, along with posts, columns or supports of freestanding signs, shall be taken down and removed from the property.

The sign face and supporting structures of "projecting," "roof" or "wall" signs shall be taken down and removed from the property.

(Ord. #637-99)

26-89.8 Sign Permit Revocable.

All rights and privileges acquired under the provisions of this chapter or any amendment thereto, are revocable at any time by the Office of Code Enforcement if the applicant fails to accurately depict the sign erected or to be erected or if the sign which is erected fails to meet the details of the detailed drawing submitted by the applicant. All such permits shall contain this provision.

The following signs and the standards and conditions that govern such signs are set forth below. The total calculation of sign area shall include building, hanging, window and canopy signs as regulated by this chapter. All other signs are expressly prohibited.
