It is the purpose of this chapter to: (1) regulate signs and to authorize signs that are compatible with their surroundings, legible under the
circumstances in which they are seen, sensitive to the environment, and are conducive to promoting traffic safety and the convenience and enjoyment of public travel by preventing visual distraction;
(2) protect pedestrians, attract tourists, preserve and enhance property values, establish first-class business and commercial districts, and eliminate fire hazards; and
(3) promote short and long-term civic beauty and order by establishing standards and regulations for sign design, location, size, type, compatibility, and aesthetics. (Ord. 2002-13, 6/18/02)
