(a) Signs. The main identification sign of a building shall be designed as part of the building and applied to the structure itself, or, where conditions dictate, it shall be freestanding. The design, format, size and material standards for all signage shall conform to Section 1246.08 and Chapter 1446 of the Planning and Zoning Code and be subject to review by the Village Zoning Inspector and Planning Commission. The Zoning Inspector will not approve signs that are gloss, reflective or flashing or that have moving parts.
(b) Lighting. Parking areas, buildings, courtyards or other relatively large open areas shall be illuminated wherever the Zoning Inspector and Planning Commission determines that such illumination is necessary to insure the public safety. Lighting fixtures shall not exceed the maximum height allowed for all buildings in the district and shall be designed and located so as not to cast direct rays of excessive brightness upon adjoining residential districts or cause glare hazardous to pedestrians or motorists on adjacent public streets. Therefore, the illumination of such areas shall be of a continuous, uniform intensity with a maximum lighting strength of 0.2 foot-candles.
