Article 6: Development Standards <br /> Section 6.12: Signs <br /> <br /> <br />Orange County, North Carolina – Unified Development Ordinance Page 6-76 <br /> <br />(H) The design of light fixtures and structural supports must be compatible with the <br />architecture of the principal building(s) and identification signs. <br />(I) Where building faces are illuminated, lighting fixtures must be integrated within the <br />architectural design of the buildings. <br />(J) Ground-mounted lighting fixtures must be weather-proof and vandal resistant. <br />(K) Hillsborough EDD <br />In addition to the standards established above, the following standards shall apply within <br />the Hillsborough EDD: <br />(1) Lighting must be high efficiency lighting systems and lighting levels must be <br />reduced during non-use hours to promote energy conservation. <br />(2) 12:1 minimum/maximum glare ratio. <br />(3) Maximum footcandles = 80 <br />SECTION 6.12: SIGNS <br />6.12.1 Purpose and Intent <br />The purpose of this Section is to regulate the type, placement and physical dimensions of all <br />signs in the interest of public health, safety and welfare, while recognizing the need for signs <br />within the business community. <br />It is the intent of this section to regulate signs on a per lot basis in conjunction with the zoning <br />designation of the lot as described on the current tax roll weather a sign is directly visible from a <br />street right-of-way or not. <br />6.12.2 Off-Premise Commercial/Outdoor Advertising Signs1 <br />The provisions of this Article establish standards and review criteria relating to the location, <br />erection, maintenance, lighting, setbacks, and use of signs. This includes regulations pertaining <br />to off-premise commercial also known as outdoor advertising (i.e. Billboards) signage. <br />The regulation and permitting of outdoor advertising is also subject to State requirements, <br />including the State Outdoor Advertising Control Act, and Federal requirements. In cases where <br />there is a conflict between County regulations and State or Federal regulations, relating to the <br />location, erection, maintenance, lighting, setbacks and use of outdoor advertising signage, the <br />corresponding State or Federal law shall take precedent. <br />In cases where there is no applicable State/Federal standard, then existing County regulations <br />shall be enforced. <br />6.12.3 General Requirements <br />(A) No sign of any type nor any part thereof shall be erected, painted, posted, reposted, <br />placed, replaced, or hung in any zoning district except in compliance with these <br />regulations. <br />(B) No person shall erect or maintain a sign, and no property owner shall allow a sign to be <br />erected or maintained on his property except in conformity with these regulations. <br />(C) A Zoning Compliance Permit approved in accordance with the provisions of this <br />Ordinance shall be required prior to erecting a sign, unless otherwise permitted. <br /> <br />1 Staff is adding language to ensure terminology is consistent within the UDO when referencing billboards, <br />which we currently define as ‘Off-premise Commercial’ signs. We are also adding a definition of Outdoor <br />Advertising, referencing our local classification, in Article 10. <br /> 9
