In order to ensure that signage is designed and placed to complement the character of the town, to minimize the distractions and obstruction of view that contribute to traffic hazards and endanger public safety, to protect existing development and promote high standards of quality in new development by requiring appropriately designed, placed, and sized signage, and to provide an effective guide for communicating identification through signage while preventing signs from dominating the visual appearance of the areas in which they are located, the following standards shall apply to all signs in all zoning districts unless otherwise noted. Signs located within the jurisdiction of a legally constituted HOA, POA, or similar entity may have additional restrictions.
Specifically excluded from these regulations and height and area restrictions, are freestanding/ monument directional non-commercial signs erected by local government, or by an agent of such, in any zoning district, either within public lands or on private land owned by others with their written consent and maintained by the town or by an agent of the town.
Nonconforming signs and sign structures: see Article 5.5.
