The purpose and intent of this Chapter is to regulate the use of publicly visible displays or graphics; to protect and enhance the character of arterial roadways and surrounding areas; to prevent diminishing property values within these areas; to safeguard the public use and nature of arterial roadways; and to minimize visual distractions to motorists along public roads.
(a) The following shall apply to all signs in the Corridor Overlay:
(1) Signs and advertising structures shall not obstruct any window, door, fire escape, stairway, ladder or opening intended to provide light, air or ingress and egress for any building or structure.
(2) Sign lighting shall be positioned and shielded so as not to impair the vision of any motor vehicle operator or cause any direct glare into or upon any property other than the property to which the sign may be accessory.
(3) A unified system of signage and graphics shall be designed for each individual development. Letter style, graphic display and color shall be analogous for all signage and graphics within an individual development. Signage concepts should be considered during the design of buildings so that signage and graphics are architecturally incorporated into those buildings and the site they inhabit. Size, height, location, material and color should strongly relate to building and site design.
