(a) Temporary signs are those signs that are not intended or not constructed for permanent
placement pursuant to the technical requirements of this article, as well as the village's building
and other technical codes, including electrical codes. Temporary signs are exempt from the
permitting process required of permanent signs pursuant to this article; however, temporary signs
shall comply with the requirements of this section and those other sections referenced herein.
Temporary signs allowed in the village are those that advertise the sale, lease or rental of the lot
or the improvements thereon, or that advertise a permitted garage sale, or that advertise an open
house, all as more particularly described in subsection 78-740(b)(1); signs otherwise permitted
as part of a special event-, temporary commercial signs as more particularly described in
subsections 78-742(k) and (m); political, religious or personal (free -speech) signs; and holiday
displays. Outdoor merchandising displays shall comply with the requirements of subsection 78-
745(h). Political, religious and personal (free -speech) temporary signs shall be permitted with an
exposed area of not more than six square feet. Such signs that refer to a particular election,
event or other specific matter shall be removed within seven days after said election, event or
other specific matter. Holiday displays shall likewise be removed within seven days from the
conclusion of the holiday. No temporary sign shall be placed in any public right-of-way or on any
public property. No temporary sign shall be placed in a location, as determined by the village
manager or his designee, in such a manner as to constitute a safety hazard, or hindrance to
pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the village manager may authorize the placement within a
right-of-way of temporary signs identifying by name open businesses adjacent to ongoing road
construction. Any such sign shall comply with FDOT or other applicable standards regarding
lettering, size, material and placement.
(c) The failure to remove a temporary sign pursuant to the provisions of this section shall subject
the property owner upon whose property the sign is located to code enforcement proceedings
pursuant to article IV of chapter 2. Each day that a temporary sign remains in violation of this
section shall be deemed to be a separate offense.
