OFF-PREMISES SIGNS
The purpose of this subchapter is to prevent the uncontrolled use of off-premises signs so as to promote the health, safety and general welfare of those persons using the public rights-of-way. These regulations are intended to preserve the overall landscape quality of the county while allowing the reasonable use of signs to inform the traveling public. This is accomplished through the application of standards for size, illumination and separation.
