1-15-11-1: INTRODUCTION:

Signs can be helpful in identifying and locating a route or destination, but they can also distract the attention of motorists, rendering them inattentive, even for a brief moment, from their duty while operating a motor vehicle. Signs, especially of poor quality, construction or installation, can also reduce the value and desirability of a place and deter individuals or entities from purchasing property or opening a business in the City. Federal law allows the City to regulate location, number, size, and, to some extent, duration. There are three (3) main categories of signs: permanent, semipermanent or temporary. Time extensions may be granted for up to double the defined time. (Ord. 587, 1-18-2017; amd. Ord. 609, 7-3-2018)
