The specific purposes of this chapter are to:
(a) Promote and maintain attractive, high value residential, commercial and industrial districts.
(b) Provide reasonable, yet appropriate, conditions for identifying institutions, businesses and industrial establishments.
(c) Control the size and location of signs so that such signs will be aesthetically harmonious with their surroundings.
(d) Ensure that signs are located and designed to maintain a safe and orderly pedestrian and vehicular environment.
(e) Prohibit all signs not expressly permitted by this Building and Housing Code.
In establishing these purposes, the Village has determined that signs which do not comply with these regulations (type, size, location, and limitation on the number of signs) are a public nuisance. Unregulated signs are unduly distracting to motorists and pedestrians, and thereby create a traffic hazard and reduce the effectiveness of signs needed to direct the public.
