Nampa code enforcement officers started canvassing the city’s commercial districts last week in an effort to get businesses to comply with sign regulations.
The city said in a news release that businesses, particularly along Caldwell Boulevard and 12th Avenue South, have been using banners and flags that violate the city’s sign ordinance.
City staff have been contacting businesses about possible violations and giving them an opportunity to comply with regulations on temporary portable signs, banners, balloons, pennants, flags and other prohibited and/or illegal signs, according to the news release. The city is sending letters to each business in apparent violation, providing 10 days to remove the sign or obtain a permit. Failure to comply could result in a citation.
The city also says business owners should know that signs are not allowed in public rights-of-ways, in areas that would limit or obstruct the sight distance at intersections or in any location or manner that would cause a danger or threat to the public.
Questions about the regulations can be directed to the Code Enforcement Division at 468-5473, or the Planning Department at 468-5406. Nampa City Codes are available online here.
