This item concerns proposed changes to the City of Jacksonville Beach's sign illumination rules. The city is reviewing a potential ordinance amendment that would allow neon borders and embellishments on signs. These neon elements would not count towards the total sign size if they are under twelve square feet or less than twenty-five percent of the sign's display face area. If the neon elements exceed these limits, they will be counted as part of the total permitted sign area. This review is in its early stages, meaning plans are still being developed. If approved, this could lead to work involving sign fabrication and installation, potentially including electrical and lighting contractors. Businesses involved in sign making and installation may find opportunities as the city considers these new regulations.
