ZoneSJ includes specifications for signage in order to provide consistent rules for sign owners, and to prevent the problems experienced in the past due to inappropriately designed signage or poor-quality temporary signage.
Issues and opportunities. Omitted from ZoneSJ are standards for projected signage – that is, signs that use digital projectors or spotlight projectors to create an image.
Cheat sheet for your feedback. If you want to provide feedback on this issue, feel free to use or edit the statement below:
- There should be standards for projected signage.
- Definitions should differentiate between signage and art.
- Accommodation of special event signage is needed, with an appropriate process for requesting permission and ensuring enforcement.
The deadline for your feedback to the City on ZoneSJ is Friday November 29th. Submit your input to (via webform, or in writing to planning@saintjohn.ca). And copy your councillors.
