Before you file in West University Place

  • Limits depend on how the site is used, not on its zoning. West University Place's sign code (Ch. 6, Table 3-1) sets different limits for sites used for single-family residential (SFR) purposes, residential impact sites (not SFR, not on a major thoroughfare, on a street where most nearby sites are SFR) and all other sites. Pick the group that matches the site; the zoning district shown on the map does not decide it.

  • Master sign plan for shopping centers

    All signs of a shopping center (or premises with a common owner or occupant) must conform to a recorded master sign plan approved by the building official (Sec. 6-25(f)). Ask the landlord whether one exists.

  • Sign permit fees

    The city publishes its sign permit fees only on the sign permit application form, which contradicts itself on the sign operating fee. Confirm the total with the permit office.
