Planning Board Meeting · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

This item concerns proposed regulations for temporary signs within the gateway redevelopment district. The Planning Board of the City of Pensacola, Escambia is reviewing these rules. The proposed rules would allow temporary banners for special events like fairs or festivals, with specific time limits for erection and removal. Banners over streets would need mayor approval. Additionally, one non-illuminated sign per street frontage, not exceeding 12 square feet, could advertise the sale, lease, or rental of a property. A larger, non-illuminated sign up to 50 square feet is proposed for new construction sites, to be displayed only while work is active. This item is currently under review by the Planning Board. If approved, the regulations could lead to work for businesses involved in signage, including design, fabrication, and installation, particularly for construction-related signage and event banners. Early engagement with the city or developers could provide insight as these rules are finalized.
