Council Discusses Residential Signs

At its December 8 meeting, the City Council discussed the Town's regulations for residential signs and flags. Council considered this issue in response to recent questions about whether some signs and flags were permitted. The current ordinance does not permit single-family homes to display school participation signs, religious signs, or celebration signs, among others. The current ordinance does allow the display of U.S., Texas, and Addison flags, but does not allow the display of corporate, college, or other flags.
Staff is in the process of reviewing and updating the Town’s development regulations, which will include ordinances for zoning, subdivision of land, signs, and related issues. This review process is lengthy and has been paused until the Town hires a new Director of Development Services.

Council directed staff to bring forward an amendment to allow residential signs and flags in addition to the governmental flags allowed by the current ordinance. Council will consider the adoption of the amendment at a future meeting.
