Regulations for residential districts

Regulations for residential districts are as follows:

    • A. Customary home occupations, including bed and breakfast. Other than any sign for which a permit is not required per section 82-1402, one single or double faced ground or projecting sign installed perpendicular to the façade, to identify premises of a permitted customary home occupation or bed and breakfast, shall be permitted provided such sign does not exceed two square feet in area. Any such projecting sign may only be located within the first layer (as described in article 11).

    • B. Shared unnamed driveway or private road. One ladder-type sign is permitted for group listings of any residential properties sharing an unnamed driveway or private road.

    • C. Real estate development and subdivision. Any sign related to long-range property development or subdivision will comply with the standards of the Town of Jamestown's Subdivision and Land Development Regulations.

    • D. Subdivision entrance signs. Permanent signs at major entrances to residential developments designed to identify such developments shall be permitted provided such signs do not exceed 15 square feet in area.

    • E. Temporary residential signs. Temporary signs, banners, posters and special promotions, except posters intended for window display, will be permitted by right. The content of such signs has no bearing on the requirements of this section, but such signs traditionally include notices for special events, yard sales, political signs, or other signs expressing the views of the property owner(s). Any property may display such signs up to 12 square feet in cumulative area, with no one sign being larger than four square feet. No such sign shall be displayed for more than 45 days. Sandwich boards are not considered temporary residential signs.
