It is the purpose of this article to regulate signs. Regulations put forth in this Article promote traffic safety, safeguard public health and comfort, facilitate police and fire protection, enhance community appearance, and protect the character of the City. The sign regulations are designed for maximum sign legibility and effectiveness and to prevent the over concentration, improper placement, and excessive height, bulk, and area of the signs. Residential, commercial, and industrial signs are generally intended to be located in those zoning districts where the activities are allowed and where signs directly relate to the activities on the premises.
