Before you file in Cibolo
Building type and street typeCibolo's limits for wall, pole and monument signs depend on whether the building has one business or several (single unit or multi-unit commercial building) and on the street the sign faces (freeway, major arterial, minor arterial or other street). Check which applies with the city.
Some tables could not be read reliablyParts of Cibolo's sign chapter come from tables that do not copy cleanly out of the city's PDF: the lighting levels by distance from homes (Sec. 58-7(b)), the monument sign setbacks and the wall sign bonus area. Those limits are left out or marked not confirmed here. The wall sign table also gives two different limits on signs per facade; Sec. 58-5 says the stricter rule applies. Confirm these with the city.
Planned unit developmentsIf the property is in a planned unit development (PUD), its ordinance may set its own sign rules. Check the PUD ordinance with the city first.
Comprehensive sign programsA property with several businesses can have a Comprehensive Sign Program approved by City Council (Sec. 58-16). It can differ from the general rules. Ask the city or the landlord whether the property has one.
Old Town (Historic Sign District)The Old Town Mixed Use Overlay is Cibolo's Historic Sign District (Sec. 58-15). Painted wall signs there need prior approval from the Cibolo Historical Committee.
Mixed Use Regional Employment Center (MURE)In MURE zoning, the UDC lets a developer submit a Master Sign Program for Planning and Zoning Commission approval.
Not legal advice. The city has the final say. Planned developments, master sign plans and special sign districts can override the general sign code. Check the linked section before you file.
