§ 15.14. Design review guidelines.  


Latest version.
  • Signs have a significant impact upon the visual character and appeal of the city's commercial districts and can contribute to visual blight and economic decline if the appearance of signs is visually unappealing. Signs shall be subject to the following design standards:

    a.

    The appearance, color, texture, and materials being used will preserve property values in the immediate vicinity, and will not adversely affect any property values.

    b.

    The appearance of the sign will not detract from the general harmony of, and will be compatible with, the structures, and other developments already existing in the immediate vicinity.

    c.

    The appearance of the sign will not be garish or otherwise offensive to the sense of sight to passersby.
