Non-conforming signs
To help achieve the goal of an attractive and vibrant business community, the Newberg City Council adopted an upgraded sign ordinance in 1998, and additional design standards for signs in the downtown in 2002. All signs placed after that time had to meet the new code standards. Signs that were legally in place at that time but that did not meet the new standards, known as “non-conforming signs,” were allowed to remain until 2009. This was intended to give owners and businesses plenty of time to upgrade their signs, while making use of them in the meantime. A large majority of non-conforming signs in the community have been upgraded since the adoption of the sign ordinance.
There are still several signs in the community that have yet to be upgraded to the standards adopted 7-10 years ago.
Those with non-conforming signs have several choices:
(1) Remove or replace the sign. Those who choose this option have until March 31, 2010 to remove the sign. Follow the link below for the sign permit application.
(2) Modify the sign, if possible, to meet the sign code. If you choose this option, you have until March 31, 2010 to modify the sign. This may not be possible in all cases.
