Bylaw No. 950 - Sign Bylaw - Draft Bylaw Update

This bylaw regulates all signs in View Royal, BC, aiming to ensure they are appropriate for their location and purpose, help people find businesses easily, fit in with the surroundings, align with the Town's planning goals, and don't create safety hazards. It applies to signs on both public and private property, with some exceptions like traffic signs, election signs (within a time limit), flags, and certain public notices. The bylaw defines different sign districts based on zoning (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial) and sets rules for what signs are allowed in each. Some signs are prohibited altogether (e.g., abandoned, billboard, moving, portable). Other signs may require a permit, and there are rules about size, height, location, and illumination. The Director of Development Services administers the bylaw, with the power to approve or deny sign permit applications and inspect signs for compliance.
