All properties within Dayton City Limits shall be subject to the provisions of this section. Unless specifically listed as a permitted use or type in this section, other sign types and uses are prohibited.

1. While signs communicate all types of helpful information, unregulated signs obstruct views, distract motorists, displace alternative uses for land, and pose other problems that legitimately call for regulation. The purpose of this section is to regulate the size, illumination, movement, materials, location, height, and condition of all signs placed on private property for exterior observation, thus ensuring the protection of property values; the character of the various neighborhoods; the creation of a convenient, attractive, and harmonious community; protection against destruction of or encroachment on historic properties, convenience to citizens and encouraging economic development. This section allows adequate communication through signage while encouraging aesthetic quality in the design, location, size, and purpose of all signs. If any provision of this section is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such finding shall not affect the validity of other provisions of this section which can be given effect without the invalid provision.
   
2. A sign placed on land or on a building for the purpose of identification, protection, or directing persons to a use conducted therein must be deemed to be an integral, but accessory and subordinate, part of the principal use of land or building. Therefore, this section establishes limitations on signs to ensure they are appropriate to the land, building, or use to which they are appurtenant and are adequate for their intended purpose while balancing the individual and community interests identified in subsection (A) of this section.
   
3. These regulations are intended to promote signs that are compatible with the use of the property to which they are appurtenant, the landscape and architecture of surrounding buildings, are legible, are not distracting to motorists, and are constructed and maintained in a structurally sound and attractive condition.
   
4. These regulations do not regulate every form and instance of visual communication that may be displayed anywhere within the jurisdictional limits of the City. Rather, they are intended to regulate those forms and instances that are most likely to meaningfully affect one or more of the purposes set forth above.
   
5. These regulations do not eliminate all of the harm that may be created by the installation and display of signs. Rather, they strike an appropriate balance that preserves ample channels of communication using visual display while still reducing and mitigating the extent of the harm caused by signs.

Sign regulations are intended to protect the character while enhancing and contributing to the economic vitality of the commercial core.
