General Provisions
This USP includes both the residential and non-residential portions of the Regency Park PDD.
A sign may be erected, placed, established, painted, created or maintained in the Town of Cary only in
conformance with standards, procedures, exemptions and other requirements of the Town's Sign Ordinance and/or
any applicable Uniform Sign Plan (USP) for the property where the sign is located.
In situations where the specifications of a previously approved USP conflict with the currently adopted Sign
Ordinance provisions, then the specifications in the approved USP shall control. Where a previously approved
USP does not contain specific specifications on signage attributes, including but not limited to height, colors,
placement, etc., then provisions in the currently adopted Sign Ordinance shall control. Further, a previously
approved USP which lacks specific signage attribute specifications, including but not limited to height, colors,
placement, etc. may not be amended to include such specifications unless such amendment is in accord with the
currently adopted Sign Ordinance.
A USP may be amended by filing a new sign plan with the Planning Department. Any new or amended USP,
including those for planned unit developments, shall include a schedule for bringing all signs not conforming to
the proposed plan into conformance within 90 days. This shall apply to all properties governed by said plan.
