Signs/Banners Display Policy
Advertising
Banners
The display of advertising banners is
generally prohibited under Section 21.08.010(d) of the Sign Code
of the Village of Wheeling. In recognition of the occasional
need of local businesses to inform the public of special events,
the Village has adopted the following policy:
"A commercial establishment may display
an advertising banner limited in area to 10 (ten) percent of the
total display window area of the establishment for a two-week
period up to three time a calendar year. A letter shall be
directed to the Department of Community Development, prior to
the display of any banner, giving the total display window area,
the size of the desired banner and the dates during which the
banner is to be displayed.
Temporary
Window Signs
Temporary window signs are defined as a
window sign describing one or more products or services and/or
prices of products or services available at the premises and
that the information conveyed is not of a permanent character.
These signs are limited in size to 15 (fifteen) percent of the
window area through which such signs may be seen. In order to
accommodate the safe and aesthetic display of such signs, the
Village has adopted the following policy:
1. If the temporary window signs are to be
displayed in individual windows, the sign area is limited to 15
percent of the window area exclusive of the area of any
permanent window signs.
2. If the area of temporary window signs for
multiple windows is to be combined, the total area is limited to
15 percent of the total glass store front area. That total area
may be distributed in any way such that no individual window is
more than forty-five percent obscured including any permanent
window signs.
Regulation on Outlining of Windows
The outlining of windows with neon tubing or
strings of lights or similar devices are strictly prohibited
under Section 21.08.010 (d) of the Sign Code of the Village of
Wheeling.
No permit fees are to be charged; however,
the display of banners and temporary window signs will be
closely monitored.
