The purpose of this subchapter is to establish a framework for a comprehensive system of sign controls governing the display, design, construction, installation and maintenance of signs that will:
(A) Promote and protect the health, safety and welfare of the village by ensuring the compatibility of signs with surrounding architecture and land uses.
(B) Create a more attractive business and economic climate in the commercial and industrial areas of the village by enhancing and protecting the orderly and effective display of signs.
(C) Discourage an excessive number of signs and unsightly, dissimilar and inappropriate signs.
(D) Protect the public from hazardous conditions that result from the indiscriminate use and placement of signs, structurally unsafe signs, signs which obscure the vision of pedestrians or motorists, and signs which compete or conflict with necessary traffic signals and warning signs.
