Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

(a) A new permit is required when any of the following changes to a permitted sign (built or unbuilt) or a permit are proposed:

1. A change of the dimensions of the permitted sign face. Changes in the dimensions of a sign face that do not exceed the dimensions specified on the permit do not require a new permit;

2. Changes to a sign in a manner that exceeds customary maintenance pursuant to N.J.A.C. 16:41C-3.1(g) and (h);

3. The conversion of a static sign to a multiple message sign, where the existing permit does not allow a multiple message sign;

4. A change of a permit that allows a multiple message sign to a permit that only allows a static sign; or

5. A change in the location of a permitted sign.

(b) The permit holder shall obtain a new permit by submitting a new application and the required application fees for review and approval in accordance with N.J.AC. 16:41C-6.2 and must demonstrate compliance with the provision of this chapter.

(c) Embellishments may be added to, or made a part of, any permitted outdoor advertising sign without further application to the Office of Outdoor Advertising Services.

(d) Cutouts and/or extensions may be added to an existing conforming sign, provided the sign permit authorizes an advertising surface area equal to or larger than the smallest rectangle enclosing the sign and all cutouts.

1. If the addition of cutouts and/or extensions cause the sign to exceed its permitted dimensions, the advertising surface shall be structurally reduced to accommodate such cutouts and/or extensions within the rectangular envelope authorized by the sign's permit. Painting or covering a portion of a sign face shall not be an acceptable method of structural change.
