EXPLANATION:                     Prior to the update of Wellington’s Land Development Regulations (LDR) in 2019, the LDR addressed “Temporary Political Signs on Designated Public Property”. In an effort to differentiate sign regulations on private property from what Wellington allows on public property or rights-of-way, the section was removed and replaced with the subject policy. An update of the policy was needed which includes enforcement provisions.
