Regina’s signage bylaws, primarily governed by the Regina Zoning Bylaw 2019, establish a regulatory framework to balance business visibility with urban aesthetics and safety. The regulations distinguish strictly between portable and permanent signage, each with specific requirements:
Permanent Signs:
- Require a Regina permanent sign permit through the Building Standards Department.
- Fees typically start at $260, and the review process generally takes 2 to 4 weeks.
- Requirements include detailed site plans, engineered drawings for structural safety, and adherence to zoning-specific limits on size, height, and illumination.
- For example, ground signs in certain areas may have a maximum size of 20 square meters and height limits of 10 feet.
Portable Signs:
- Governed by the Regina portable sign bylaw for temporary promotions.
- Permits costs approximately $44, and display durations are often limited (such as 30 to 60 days per year depending on the specific application).
- Size is generally restricted to 8 square feet for sidewalk displays, though some temporary banners may allow up to 25 square feet.
- They must be placed to avoid obstructing public property or creating traffic hazards.
Failure to comply with these ordinances can result in significant penalties, with fines for violations reaching up to $10,000.
