Franklin Historic District Design Guidelines

EFFECTIVE MAY 30, 2022 139 chapter 8 Guidelines Applicable by Type of Sign When considering signage, first look to the previous sections for guidance on the maximum number and appropriate types of signs, which is based on the building form that most closely addresses the original building prior to any additions. Once the number and types of signs have been determined, this Section should be used to identify the additional guidelines that are specific to the type of sign, including quantity, placement, size, height, materials, color, and illumination. The types of signs are listed below: Specific Sign Guidelines Awning Sign Band Sign Canopy Sign Convenience Sign Development Entrance Sign Directory Sign Post-and-Arm Sign Post-and-Panel Sign Sandwich Board Sign Small Hanging/Projecting Sign Vertical Blade Sign Wall Sign Window Sign 1 2 3 4 7 8 9 10 11 5 6 12 Standards for signs are regulated by the Franklin Zoning Ordinance, unless otherwise described in this Chapter.
