  § 17.07.140. Sign design standards.

Latest version.

  • The design standards set forth in this section apply to all signs in the City of Beaumont.

    A.

    Relationship to Other Signs. Where there is more than one monument sign located upon a lot, all such signs shall have designs which are well related to each other by the similar treatment or incorporated of not less than four of the following six design elements:

    1.

    Type of construction materials as used in the several sign components (such as cabinet, sign copy, supports);

    2.

    Letter style of sign copy;

    3.

    Illumination;

    4.

    Type or method used for supports, uprights or structure on which sign is supported;

    4.

    Sign cabinet or other configuration of sign area;

    6.

    Shape of entire sign and its several components.

    B.

    Landscaping. Each monument sign shall be located in a planted landscaped area which is of a shape, design and size (equal to at least the sign area) that will provide a compatible setting and ground definition to the sign. The planted landscaped area shall be maintained on a reasonable and regular basis.

    C.

    Illumination and Motion. Monument signs shall be non-moving stationary structures (in all components) and illumination, if any, shall be maintained by artificial light which is stationary and constant in intensity and color at all times (non-flashing).

    D.

    Sign Color. Sign colors should be compatible with the building architecture. Within shopping centers, sign color should complement the color scheme for the center. This provision does not apply to noncommercial messages displayed on signs.

    E.

    Special Commercial Areas. Signs proposed within the special commercial areas identified in this Chapter shall be subject to detailed design review by the Planning Director and/or Planning Commission for the purpose of ensuring consistency and compatibility with the respective area. Such review shall be performed in conjunction with the processing of permit applications as set forth in this Chapter. However, such analysis shall not consider the message content of the proposed sign.
