Off-Premise Sign Relocation
Application Filing Information
City of Dayton, Ohio
Application Requirements
An application for the Relocation of a Non-Conforming Off-Premise Sign by the City Plan Board must be filed in
the Department of Planning and Community Development on approved forms and the filing fee paid. Before
submitting an application for the Relocation of a Non-Conforming Off-Premise Sign, applicants are strongly
encouraged to meet with Zoning Administration and Department of Planning and Community Development staff
to discuss the proposed application. Any application that does not comply fully with the application requirements
(e.g., inaccurate, incomplete, and/or missing attachments, fee not paid) shall be regarded as incomplete until it is
submitted in the proper form. Please note that the Zoning Administrator must provide the Plan Board Secretary
with a copy of the Relocation of a Non-Conforming Off-Premise Sign application and materials submitted to
Zoning Administration before the Plan Board can schedule the application for review.
The City of Dayton’s official zoning code and official zoning map are on the City of Dayton’s web site at
http://www.cityofdayton.org/departments/pcd/planning/Pages/ZoningMap.aspx .
Instructions for Completing Application
Item A. Name of Applicant
Interest of Applicant: The applicant must state his or her particular interest in the case. Applications will be
accepted from the property owner, a leaseholder, or person/business with an option to purchase or lease the
property.
Items B and C. Location Descriptions
City of Dayton lot numbers and Montgomery County parcel I.D. numbers can be obtained from the Montgomery
County Auditor’s office and at www.mcrealestate.org. The parcel I.D. is the book, page, and index number of the
lot. If the subject property consists of more than one parcel/lot, the City lot numbers and parcel I.D. numbers of
all the parcels/lots that comprise the property must be listed.
The existing zoning for the subject property can be found on the zoning map on the City of Dayton’s web site,
http://www.cityofdayton.org/departments/pcd/planning/Pages/ZoningMap.aspx or by calling Zoning Administration at
937-333-3887.
Item D. Waivers Requested
The applicant should describe the waiver that is sought from the City of Dayton Plan Board per 150.125.6 (A) of
the Zoning Code. Is a wavier(s) requested from:
150.925.10, Maximum Area of Off-Premise Signs;
150.925.11, Maximum Height of Off-Premise Signs;
150.925.12, Setback Requirements for Off-Premise Signs; and/or
150.925.13, Spacing Requirements for Off-Premise Signs?
For example, the new sign would be in the EGC zoning district where maximum sign area is 300 s.f. The
proposed sign is 400 s.f.; therefore, a wavier is needed from 150.925.10, Maximum Area of Off-Premise Signs.
Accordingly, the application should state, “A wavier of 100 s.f. is requested.”

Development staff will schedule the application for Plan Board review in accordance with 150.925.6 of the city
zoning code. Notices of the Plan Board meeting are sent to property owners with 250 feet of the proposed new

application, they will forward it to the Plan Board for consideration.

addition, any interested citizen may comment on the application in person or by letter at the public meeting. The
Plan Board will review the application using the criteria found in 150.925.6 (B) of the zoning code.
The Plan Board may:
Approve the application for relocation as submitted; or
Approve the application for relocation with changes or specific conditions not included in the application
as submitted; or
Disapprove the application. If the Plan Board finds that a proposed relocation does not meet the purposes
or requirements of the zoning code, the plan will be disapproved.
