As used in this chapter, “sign” means any name, number, symbol, identification, description, display or illustration which is affixed to, painted on, or represented directly or indirectly upon, a building, structure or other device and which directs attention to any object, product, place, activity, person, institution, organization or business. “Sign” includes back-lighted plastic panels or strip lighting affixed to any wall or roof where any such panels or lighting serves to identify a business and attract attention rather than to illuminate space for human activity. All signs located on land within or hereafter annexed to the village and visible from any public right-of-way or adjacent property shall comply with this chapter, unless specifically exempted in § 1280.03. Every building must display its assigned postal street number clearly.
