c. Flags on parcels in non-residential use may be externally

Council Briefing · 2026-04-13 · agenda_item

This item concerns a draft review and update of sign regulations for the City of Jacksonville Beach, planned for April 2026. The proposed changes focus on allowing externally illuminated flags on non-residential parcels, permitting under canopy signs for businesses in multi-tenant structures, and allowing changeable copy signs (manual or electronic LED) as part of monument or wall signs. It also addresses regulations for nonconforming signs, including conditions for their continued existence, repair, relocation, and removal if discontinued or damaged. This review stage means that businesses and contractors can provide input on the proposed rules before they are finalized. The potential updates could lead to work in areas such as sign fabrication, installation, electrical work for illuminated signs, and potentially demolition and site repair for removed nonconforming signs. Engaging early allows businesses to understand upcoming requirements and position themselves for future opportunities related to compliant signage.
