Background/Summary: 

Riviera Beach would like to create welcoming entry points into the City.  In many municipalities, these types of signs are placed in the center median of the roadways.  Currently, the City’s Code of Ordinances prohibits the placement of signs in the public right-of-way, except for directional signage.  The City’s Code must be amended in order to allow the potential use of City monument signs within the public right-of-way.  Staff has prepared amendments to the sign code for the placement of City signage within the City’s public rights-of-way. 

 

Signs within the public right-of-way must be placed carefully to assure safety for motorists and other users of the roadway.  For this reason, City staff recommends that the code be amended to allow the placement of signs within the public right-of-way by city, county, or state agencies only.
