(A) It is recognized that the regulations provided in this chapter cannot sensitively handle all of the street graphic situations in an area as diverse as that covered by the village. Therefore the corporate authorities, by ordinance and following notice and hearing, may designate any areas of architectural, historical, scenic, or public use areas as areas of special control. The Planning, Zoning and Development Commission shall prepare a map showing all areas of special control which have been so designated by the local governing body.
(B) An architectural, historical, scenic, or public use area is an area whose special and unique characteristics or whose natural beauty requires special street graphic regulations to insure that all street graphics used within the area are compatible with each other. Generally, it is expected that street graphic regulations in these areas will be more restrictive than those which would otherwise be applicable under this chapter.
(C) The Village Board of Trustees may establish by ordinance areas of special control, and establish special regulations for street graphics which are either more restrictive or less restrictive than those provided by this chapter and other Appendix, Table of Basic and Auxiliary Design Elements, having regard to the character of the area of special control.
