A.

General. Ensure that signs are located, designed, constructed, installed, and maintained in a way that protects life, health, morals, property, and the public welfare;

B.

Public Safety. Protect public safety by prohibiting signs that are structurally unsafe or poorly maintained; that cause unsafe traffic conditions through distraction of motorists, confusion with traffic signs, or hindrance of vision; and that impede safe movement of pedestrians or safe ingress and egress from buildings or sites;

C.

Protect Aesthetic Quality of Districts and Neighborhoods. Prevent blight and protect aesthetic qualities by preventing visual clutter and protecting views; preventing intrusion of commercial messages into non-commercial areas; and eliminating signs and sign structures on unused commercial properties. Also, to avoid glare, light trespass, and skyglow through selection of fixture type and location, lighting technology, and control of light levels;

D.

Free Speech. Ensure that the constitutionally guaranteed right of free speech is protected and to allow signs as a means of communication;

E.

Reduce Conflict. Reduce conflict among signs and light and between public and private information systems;

F.

Business Communication. Allow for adequate and effective signage for business communication and dissemination of public information, including, but not limited to, public safety information and notification as may be required by law;

G.

Foster Economic Development. Ensure that signs are located in a manner that does not cause visual clutter, blight, and distraction, but rather promotes identification and communication necessary for sustaining and expanding economic development in the Village; and
