Saint Paul GISThese are districts that are defined and referred to in the City's Zoning Code, as outlined in Chapter 64.600 Special Sign Districts . These districts were created to regulate signage in a more specific way than what is provided in the existing zoning code. In many cases, these districts were created specifically to prohibit off-premises advertising signs (billboards); since many of these districts were created, the establishment of new off premises advertising signs has been prohibited citywide. Of note, several of the districts (Merriam Park, Snelling-Hamline and North End/South Como) follow old planning district boundaries that are no longer current. These sign district boundaries follow the old district lines, but their respective planning districts and district councils follow new boundaries, which are shared elsewhere through City GIS. Overlay districts: There are currently 17 special sign districts, or 20 if you include count the four subareas of the Greater East Side separately.
