In addition to the requirements of this chapter, the following supplemental regulations shall apply to signs located in the French Creek District:
(a) No self-illuminating, free-standing ground signs are permitted. Only continuous, soft, non-glare, indirect-type lighting is permitted.
(b) All signs advertising a business or place of business shall be constructed of a natural material only, such as wood, masonry or wrought iron, and the design should be compatible with the character of the French Creek District. All permanent signs shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission.
(c) Signs or banners which comply with the intent and purpose of the French Creek District may be placed or displayed in a public right-of-way in the French Creek District. No such signs or banners shall display any advertising, and all such signs must be reviewed and approved by the Zoning Enforcement Officer and Planning Coordinator before the issuance of a sign permit. Considering that the purpose of these signs or banners is to serve a governmental and not a proprietary interest, permit fees shall be waived.
