3.3 SIGNAGE
3.3.1 Heritage Consideration • All vintage signs from heritage buildings and generally historic buildings should be inventoried and protected. • Before removing and replacing an existing projecting sign, it must be determined that the sign has no historical merit, regardless of whether it was installed after the original construction of the building. • New signage should reflect Tillsonburg’s heritage character without necessarily replicating historic signage designs. • The installation of new signage on heritage buildings should only result in reversible changes.
3.3.2 Content
• Signs should only advertise their respective business within. • Corporate signs, such as “Kit Kat”, “Coca-Cola,” etc., are discouraged. • Secondary signs, such as portable signs (sandwich boards) can add life to the street, but should be regulated by municipal licensing by-laws. • Window signs should be limited in size and should not block the view of interior window displays.
New signage should be sympathetic to the heritage character of Tillsonburg’s Central Area.
Window signs should be limited in size and should not block the view of interior window displays.
