I. Administration and general
This chapter establishes reasonable regulations for the design, placement, construction, and maintenance of all signs within the town, to protect the public interest and achieve these community objectives:
A. To minimize the risk of personal injury and property damage from unregulated and improper sign placement, construction, and maintenance;
B. To balance private and public interests by providing opportunities for adequate signage for business identification and essential communication while preserving and enhancing the community environment, unique character and qualities of the town;
C. To promote the use of signs that are well-designed, of appropriate scale, and appropriately integrated into the built environment; and
D. To preserve and enhance the streetscape appearance throughout the town and the general appearance of business corridors.
A. No content restrictions.
1. Any sign allowed under this chapter may contain, in lieu of any other copy, any otherwise lawful message that complies with applicable size, lighting, dimension, design, spacing, and permitting requirements of this chapter.
2. This chapter is intended to regulate signs in a manner that does not favor commercial speech over non-commercial speech and does not regulate non-commercial speech by message content.
3. Any regulation that distinguishes between on-site and off-site signs applies only to commercial messages, and allows any non-commercial message.
B. Conformity.
1. No sign shall be installed, placed, or maintained within the town except in conformance with this chapter or as allowed by a state or federal law preemption of this chapter.
2. If provisions of this chapter are in conflict with any other provision of the code, the more restrictive requirement shall apply.
3. Signs maintained contrary to the provisions of this chapter are declared to be nuisances and may be abated as provided by law.
