Description

This "Deep Dive" podcast reviews the working draft for a Joint Municipal Zoning Ordinance (JMZO) for the Newtown Area, specifically addressing Sign Definitions as of September 4, 2025.

This extensive list offers precise definitions for numerous types of signs, ranging from permanent and temporary displays like "MONUMENT SIGN" and "FEATHER FLAG SIGN" to signs categorized by location, such as "AWNING SIGN" and "ROOF SIGN."

The text also defines technical aspects of signage, including types of illumination ("HALO ILLUMINATION SIGN," "NEON SIGN") and movement ("ANIMATION," "MECHANICAL MOVEMENT SIGN"), alongside regulatory classifications like "ABANDONED SIGN" and "NONCONFORMING SIGN."

Furthermore, the draft includes legal and administrative references, such as the "BUILDING CODE" and existing definitions indicated with an asterisk, demonstrating its function as a comprehensive regulatory framework for signage within the joint zoning area (Newtown, Wrightstown, and Upper Makefield)..
