This presentation includes highlights of changes to the sign controls of the zoning code.

An inter-agency sign controls working group is conducting this visual preference survey to learn what kind of signs you would prefer to see in Philadelphia.

The working group will use input received through this survey and other civic engagement activities to develop a draft of a new sign controls section of the Philadelphia Zoning Code.

This document presents a framework recommended by the City's Sign Controls Working Group for defining accessory signs.  The framework is intended to increase understandability of the code’s sign regulations, facilitate more predictable administrative decision-making, and yield more consistent outcomes.

This document presents an assessment of Philadelphia’s existing accessory sign controls. The key findings from this assessment inform the working group’s development of recommendations to the ZCC for improving Philadelphia’s sign regulations.
