Permits and Permissions

Spruce Grove Portable Sign Bylaws

Spruce Grove Portable Sign Bylaws governing the use and placement of portable signs, aimed at ensuring safety, maintaining aesthetics, and regulating the impact of such signage within the city. Here are some key points from the bylaws:

Permit Requirements

A valid permit is required to place a portable sign. Permits can be issued for a period not exceeding one year. Each street frontage of a site can have one temporary sign, such as portable signs, a-frame signs, banners, or billboards​ (SignGuru)​​

Size and Quantity

The maximum sign face area for portable signs is limited, and the number of signs allowed per property is based on the frontage length. For example, one temporary sign is allowed for every 90 meters of street frontage​

Other Considerations

The bylaws cover various other aspects such as the maximum height and size of signs, required setbacks from property lines, and restrictions on third-party advertising​ (SignGuru)​.

Placement and Obstruction

Portable signs must not obstruct views of traffic or interfere with pedestrian movement. They also must not reduce the number of parking stalls or loading spaces required for a property. The placement of signs is regulated to ensure they do not obstruct sight lines for drivers or pedestrians​ ​​ (SignGuru)​.

Illumination and Design

Signs may be illuminated, but they must comply with specific regulations to prevent glare or distractions for drivers. Additionally, the design and appearance of portable signs are subject to standards to maintain the city’s visual aesthetics​ (SignGuru)​.
