Ambler

Ordinance Number 1119 amends Ambler Borough's sign ordinance to establish a legal distinction between murals and signs, defining murals as artwork applied to building walls whose primary purpose is non-commercial speech expression. The ordinance modifies the definition of "Mural" in Chapter 27, Part 20 and establishes criteria for the Borough's zoning officer to determine whether wall artwork is a mural or commercial sign based on factors including business ownership, advertising content, and stated intent. Murals meeting the non-commercial speech standard are permitted under the new regulations, while artwork determined to be commercial signs remain prohibited on wall surfaces.
