Business owners upset about Lighthouse Point sign ordinance

Posted on 17 August 2011 by LeslieM

Lighth­­ouse Point business owners are heading to city hall next week to protest a recent crackdown on the sign ordinance. Business owners have turned off their open signs rather than pay fees and permits to keep them on in protest of a sign ordinance that is now being enforced in Lighthouse Point.

“Many retail store fronts have a neon “OPEN” sign in their front windows so that customers can know that the location is open for business,” said Pac N Send owner Penni Morris who is upset about being visited by code enforcement over an open sign. “It is an invitation to stop in. We have been issued warnings and violations, and are being required to get a permit for these lighted open signs which include appearing before the community appearance board.  An open sign should not be considered advertising, but rather an essential part of letting the public know we are open for business.”

Morris isn’t the only business owner upset. Graeme Donald at Daily Grind said he turned his sign off in protest of the fees and ordinance.

“This should be changed,” Donald said. “This is a basic requirement, for a business to say you are open.”

Business owners have requested the commission put the item on their agenda at the next meeting on August 23, and Morris is asking that all business owners concerned about the sign ordinance and violations to attend the meeting.
