Sign Ordinance Update

The City of Scottsdale is preparing a text amendment to the City of Scottsdale Zoning Ordinance
(Ordinance No. 455) Article VIII. – Sign Requirements to update the building, freestanding and
temporary sign regulations to introduce freeway-appropriate signs for developments adjacent to
the Loop 101 Freeway. This amendment would possibly allow for larger, freestanding signs along the 101 that would be visible to drivers on the freeway, and to allow higher signage on buildings adjacent to the freeway for large mixed-use developments. More information can be found in this memorandum, provided by the City of Scottsdale.

The City of Scottsdale will host two separate Open House meetings regarding this proposed text amendment.
