In the residential zones, signs are permitted as follows:

A. Signs identified in Section 6.03.B. that propose to exceed the standards specified in that section may request a special exception use under the provisions of the Tiffin Zoning Ordinance.

B. For any permitted principal use other than a residential use, one sign, not to exceed 24-square feet area, is permitted. The sign must indicate nothing more the name and address of the premises and the schedule of services or other information relevant to the operation of the premises. The sign must be set back from all property lines at least one foot for each one square foot of sign area.

Dates: an Iowa ordinance takes effect when it is published after adoption. Where the clerk's certificate records the publication date it is used; otherwise the adoption date stands in for it. "Not yet consolidated" means the ordinance amends this section but its new text has not been checked into this compilation yet: read the ordinance.
