Revised Sign Code

McMinnville is taking proactive steps to update its official sign code to meet federal guidelines, while also creating a more intuitive and user-friendly document for our community. This initiative will modernize the way we regulate signage by introducing a new, visually dynamic format with tables, a streamlined layout, and helpful illustrations. By refining our definitions to ensure clarity and consistency, we aim to provide residents, businesses, and developers with an easy-to-navigate resource that aligns with our city's values and vision for the future.

A core focus of the update is ensuring the sign code remains content-neutral, meaning regulations will no longer consider the content of signs but rather focus on when, where, and how they can be displayed. This approach not only reinforces our dedication to equitable standards but also ensures compliance with federal laws. We want the input of McMinnville's residents and stakeholders to play an integral role in shaping these changes, which will make a lasting impact on how our community communicates and fosters its unique identity.
