Recently, a notice of sign violation was sent to the owners of the Village at Newtown South, citing 17 stores, including the Newtown Bookshop, that are in violation of Newtown Township’s signage ordinance Section 1106(H)(4)(A) of the JMZO, which states "No more than one sign shall be erected for any establishment unless such establishment has a facade and/or an entrance on more than one street…”
“Everything posted on the windows” – such as holiday decorations, event notices, menu items, and other such – “is not permissible,” the owners were told by Ana Gindhart, Newtown Zoning Officer.
The exception, said the Zoning Officer, “is a 2 SF [Square Foot] max sign identifying store hours, identification or similar purposes. All other signs must be removed within ten (10) days of receipt of this letter,” which is dated October 14, 2024. For example, only the “NEWTOWN BOOKSHOP” façade sign above the bookstore is allowed, everything else – except the small store hours sign – must go!
