Stony Point City Zoning Code
ARTICLE IX
Signs
§ 215-43 General requirements.
All signs permitted in the Town of Stony Point shall comply with the requirements and procedures as set forth in this article. The installation of signs is important for advertising, direction, identification and warnings; however, such signs should not impede the aesthetics of the Town of Stony Point. Thus, the following regulations provide guidance as to the requirements and procedures for the installation of signs.
§ 215-44 Title.
This article shall be known and may be cited hereinafter as the "Signs Law of the Town of Stony Point."
§ 215-45 Purpose and intent.
It is the intention of the Town Board of the Town of Stony Point, by the adoption of this article, to regulate the posting and display of signs on property within the Town of Stony Point in pursuance of and for the purpose of securing and protecting the public health, comfort, convenience, safety and welfare and preserving the peace, good order and physical appearance of the Town of Stony Point and its inhabitants. The Town Board finds that the streets, highways and other areas of the Town are becoming increasingly cluttered with signs that are interfering with the natural beauty and traffic safety of the Town. The substantial possibility exists of a proliferation of such signs in the Town over extended periods of time with the attendant pedestrian, vehicular traffic safety, litter, structural and other hazards as well as loss of meaning of the message conveyed by said signs. It is the purpose of this article to protect the general public from the hazards of flying paper or cloth, general debris and litter and the destruction of or injury to property and property rights.
§ 215-46 Permit required.
Except as specifically exempted in this article, no sign shall hereinafter be erected, reerected, constructed, enlarged or altered without a sign permit. No sign permit shall be issued except as shown on an approved site development plan or sign plan. Where only the sign-display portion of a validly erected sign is being changed, no sign permit is required.
§ 215-47 Definitions.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
Any Town, county, state or federal property, road or right-of-way located in the Town of Stony Point.
Any material structure or device or part thereof composed of lettered or pictorial matter which is located out-of-doors or on the exterior of any building or indoors as a window sign, displaying an advertisement, announcement, notice or name and shall include any declaration, demonstration, display, representation, illustration or insignia used to advertise or promote the interests of any person or business or cause when such is placed in view of the general public.
