Several Commercial Corridors, Not One Downtown
Neptune Township combines Route 33, Route 35 and Route 66 commercial corridors, medical and professional offices, neighborhood businesses, industrial properties, restaurants, retail, warehouse and distribution uses, and businesses serving both inland Monmouth County and the nearby Shore communities.
Township planning documents identify Routes 33, 35 and 66 as the areas where commercial uses are most concentrated, alongside industrial districts and continued redevelopment planning around major commercial and warehouse sites. A Route 35 retailer needs exterior identification designed for passing traffic. A Route 66 tenant may sit inside a larger site where storefront signs, directional signage, parking and tenant identification all matter. A medical or professional office needs a restrained exterior sign followed by directories, suite signs, privacy graphics and ADA identification inside. A warehouse cares about building identification, dock numbers, loading areas and vehicle graphics.
Gogi Signs treats the exact address as part of the sign specification — and has been building for all four since 2005.
— Sign Size Rules
Neptune Gives Wall Signs a Two-Part Formula
The wall-sign rule takes whichever of two figures is smaller, so a wide wall does not automatically produce a large sign. The rest of the code is equally specific.
- Wall signs. Limited to 48 square feet, or 1.5 square feet for each linear foot of the wall face — whichever is less.
- Width. No more than 75% of the wall face.
- Projection. Generally limited to one foot.
- Multi-tenant retail. One wall sign per tenant, subject to the same size formula.
- Large buildings. Buildings over 75,000 square feet in the LI, PUD and C-1 districts may have two wall signs, each subject to a percentage of the wall and an overall maximum.
- Projecting signs. One sign extending up to 42 inches, with a maximum area of five square feet and minimum clearance of eight feet above grade.
- Awning signs. Up to two, with lettering or image height limited to 10 inches, sited on the valance.
- Awning width. The horizontal sign dimension may not exceed 15 feet or 60% of the occupied awning length, whichever is less, with the awning bottom at least eight feet above ground.
- Window signs. Permanent window signage is capped by both percentage and area — provisions include 30% of window area up to 12 square feet in certain zones and 35% up to 18 square feet in others.
- Directory nameplates. Up to 12 square feet, with additional placement restrictions.
Accurate frontage measurement is what makes the wall-sign formula work: a thirty-foot tenant wall and a sixty-foot tenant wall do not receive the same sign, and past 32 feet of wall the 48-square-foot cap starts governing instead of the per-foot figure. Width, sign area, building scale and viewing distance all have to resolve together. The application is filed by you or your landlord. We assist with permits; we do not file them on your behalf.
— A Second Wall Sign
Rear Parking May Earn You a Second Building Sign
This provision is worth knowing before the storefront package is priced, because it is an allowance rather than a restriction. Neptune’s code lets some businesses use a secondary wall-mounted sign where a side or rear façade fronts a parking lot or a secondary street frontage, generally limited to 50% of the area of the primary building sign.
That covers a familiar situation: customer parking behind the building, a secondary public entrance, two street frontages, or a side-facing customer approach. Where most of the traffic arrives at the back door, a sign on the front elevation alone is identifying the business to people who have already found it.
The property layout still has to be checked, because the rule does not apply in every parking configuration — and the 50% figure keys off the primary sign, so the two get designed together rather than the second being added later at whatever size is left over.
— Routes 33, 35 & 66
The Major Corridors Are Vehicle-Oriented
Customers may first see a business from across several lanes of traffic, through a parking area, or while approaching along an internal commercial drive. Six things follow from that:
- Viewing distance. The sign is sized around where customers first identify the property, not around how it looks from the front entrance.
- Building scale. A sign that works on a narrow storefront disappears on a broader commercial façade.
- Contrast. Letters and logos need separation from the building background and the surrounding businesses.
- Illumination. Where permitted, illuminated channel letters or another illuminated building sign for businesses operating after dark.
- Copy. At road distance the business name and logo matter more than a service list, phone number or tagline.
- Secondary identification. Windows, doors, parking signs and directional graphics handle the supporting information once customers are on the property.
Because the wall-sign formula caps at 48 square feet regardless of how wide the building is, the answer on a corridor property is rarely more sign area — it is better proportion, stronger contrast and less copy inside the area already allowed.
— Route 66 Redevelopment
Route 66 Is Also a Distribution Corridor
Neptune’s latest Master Plan reexamination identifies the Route 66 Redevelopment Area at Route 66 and Green Grove Road. The redevelopment plan calls for highway commercial development along the Route 66 corridor and warehouse and distribution uses along Green Grove Road — two different kinds of building on two legs of the same intersection.
That makes the area relevant to sign projects covering larger commercial buildings, retail tenants, warehouse identification, distribution facilities, shipping and receiving, parking and directional signage, interior facility signs, and vehicle and fleet graphics.
A storefront sign and a warehouse sign are not versions of the same product. One is read by a customer deciding whether to pull in; the other is read by a driver who already has a delivery address and needs to find Door 7. The customer approach and the property layout are different, and so is everything downstream of them.

— How It Works
From Site Survey Through Installation
Gogi Signs has served New Jersey businesses since 2005, and handles the project from initial measurements through fabrication, installation, repair and future changes.
01
Site Survey
We measure the storefront, commercial building, warehouse, office or interior area and document the existing signs, mounting conditions, entrances and customer approaches.
02
Design and Planning
Artwork is fitted to the actual property, available sign area, materials, construction, visibility conditions and the applicable local requirements.
03
Fabrication and Printing
Approved work moves through fabrication, cutting, large-format printing, vinyl production, finishing and electrical assembly where applicable.
04
Installation
Our insured installation crew coordinates access, removes old signage where that is included, and installs the completed signs and graphics.
05
Future Service
When lighting needs repair, a tenant changes, graphics need replacement or another sign is required, we can return to the property.
— Warehouse & Dock
One Sign at the Front Entrance Is Not Enough
Neptune’s industrial and redevelopment areas produce sign projects where the building has to be navigable, not just identified:
- Building identification — exterior letters, logos and wall-mounted identification sized for the customer or delivery approach
- Dock numbers — clear identification for loading docks and freight areas
- Door numbers — overhead doors, service doors, warehouse bays and internal facility zones
- Shipping and receiving — customer, employee, delivery and freight entrances kept separate
- Directional signs — parking, receiving, shipping, pickup, loading, offices and internal circulation
- Interior facility signs — departments, work areas, restricted zones, rooms and operational identification
These work when they share one numbering, color and terminology system across the whole site. Where numbering has been added in stages, a driver ends up with a delivery note naming a door the building does not — and vehicle graphics then carry the same identity away from the property.
— Awnings
The Valance Is the Sign, and It Has Two Dimensions to Respect
Neptune treats awning identification separately from wall signs, and the limits are precise enough to settle the design early. Up to two awning signs are allowed, with lettering or image height limited to 10 inches and the signage sited on the valance rather than the awning face.
The horizontal dimension is capped at 15 feet or 60% of the occupied awning length, whichever is less — so on a 20-foot awning the 60% figure governs at 12 feet, while on a 30-foot awning the 15-foot cap takes over. The bottom of the awning also has to sit at least eight feet above ground, with limits on how far it may project from the building.
The practical consequence is that the full fabric canopy is not available as a sign face, and awning graphics get planned as part of the structure rather than applied to it afterward. We manufacture custom fabric awnings with business names, logos, custom colors, valance lettering, replacement covers and new frames where required, and inspect sound existing frames for recovering.
— Offices & Directories
Inside a Medical or Office Building, the Directory Does the Work
Neptune has healthcare and professional businesses operating inside larger office and medical properties, where the exterior sign identifies the building and nothing more. Visitors still have to find the correct office.
The code helps here: it separately recognizes directory nameplates at up to 12 square feet, with additional placement restrictions — a real allowance for a real problem. A coordinated package runs from building-mounted signs and tenant identification through lobby directories with tenant names, floors and suite information, reception signs, suite signs with room numbers and department identification, privacy graphics for offices, conference rooms and treatment rooms, ADA tactile and Braille identification, and wayfinding connecting entrances, elevators, offices, departments and shared spaces.
Twelve square feet divides well when it is planned to. We build directories with individually replaceable tenant components, so one office move does not require an entirely new directory — and keeping the whole set under one sign family is what makes future tenant changes small.

— Tenant Changeover
Moving Into an Existing Neptune Commercial Space?
On industrial and distribution property in particular, a good deal of what is installed describes the building rather than the occupant — dock numbers and directional signage usually stay correct through a change of tenant.
What you may inherit
- Channel-letter mounting and electrical wiring
- Sign cabinets and existing wall penetrations
- Awning frames
- Window vinyl and door graphics
- Directory systems and suite signs
- Dock numbers and interior plaques
A usable cabinet may need only a new face, an awning frame may suit recovering, a directory may need one tenant listing changed and existing mounting or electrical components may work with new signage. Other parts come out because they are damaged, unsafe, outdated or incompatible with the incoming business.
What the changeover covers
- Previous sign removal and existing-condition survey
- Building or storefront measurements
- New exterior identification and channel-letter replacement
- Sign-face replacement and awning recovering
- Window-vinyl removal and new window graphics
- Door lettering and directory updates
- Suite signs, dock and facility identification
- Temporary opening graphics, then final installation
For property managers running retail centers, medical buildings, office properties, commercial strips and multi-tenant developments, tenant-specific parts built to be replaced individually keep the next change smaller and more consistent with the property.
— Repair & Refacing
Sign Repair, Refacing and Replacement
Neptune carries a large amount of existing commercial signage across retail, office, industrial and service properties. LEDs fail, faces crack, letters loosen, vinyl fades, awning fabric wears, directory information changes, dock numbers get damaged and tenants move.
Gogi Signs repairs and updates commercial signage even when another company originally fabricated it:
- Channel-letter repair
- LED and electrical service
- Replacement sign faces
- Dimensional-letter repair
- Awning recovering
- Window-vinyl replacement
- Directory updates
- Tenant-panel replacement
- Dock-number replacement
- Sign removal
- Interior sign replacement
- New tenant conversion
Where the existing sign remains serviceable, repair or refacing is usually the more practical route. Where the structure has reached the end of its useful life, replacement makes more sense — and the new sign gets sized against the current formula rather than matched to whatever is coming down.
