It is recognized that the regulations provided in this chapter cannot sensitively handle all of the sign situations in an area as diverse as that covered by the City. Therefore, Council by ordinance and following notice and public hearing, may designate any of the following areas as areas of special control and authorize special provisions by ordinance:
Architecture, historic or scenic areas whose special and unique visual characteristics, or whose visual beauty, require special sign regulations to insure that all signs used within the area are compatible with each other. Generally, it is expected that sign regulations in these areas shall be more restrictive than those which would otherwise be applicable under this chapter. (Ord. 03-37. Passed 11-3-03.)
