The provisions of this article shall apply to the display, construction, erection, placement, alteration, use, location, illumination, and maintenance of all signs, except as specifically exempted in this article. A sign may be erected, placed, established, painted, created or maintained in the town only in conformance with the standards, procedures, exemptions and other requirements of this article. All signs not expressly permitted by this article are prohibited. This article shall provide for the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter and establish a limited variety of signs in other zones, subject to the standards and permit procedures of this chapter. Internally lighted signs are acceptable, however, to improve the environmental setting the town would prefer that signs be externally lighted whenever possible.
