The city council finds and declares that:

(1)

The city has the authority to regulate signs under the United States Constitution, the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Colorado, and the Charter of the City of Thornton;

(2)

This article is adopted pursuant to the city's general and police powers;

(3)

The city has an important and substantial interest in protecting the public from signs which obscure the vision of motorists or interfere with official traffic control devices, and the orderly movement of traffic contributes to the public health and safety;

(4)

The city has an important and substantial interest in preventing sign clutter because sign clutter degrades the character of the community, makes the community a less attractive place for commerce and private investment, and dilutes or obscures messages by creating visual confusion and aesthetic blight;

(5)

The city has an important and substantial interest in protecting its infrastructure and therefore in restricting sign placement in areas where damage to underground improvements could occur;

(6)

Certain types of speech are not protected by the First Amendment due to the harm that they cause to individuals or the community, and speech that is harmful to minors may be prohibited in places that are accessible to minors; and

(7)

The city does not intend to regulate any sign content or message in any manner not permitted by law, and the provisions of this article should be interpreted to achieve that result.

(Ord. No. 3168, § 2(Exh. B), 6-28-11; Ord. No. 3440, § 1, 6-13-17)

(1)

To accommodate the need for orderly expression in the traditional public forum areas, such as streets, parks and sidewalks;

(2)

To preserve and enhance the aesthetic appearance and natural features of the city;

(3)

To enhance the visual attractiveness of the city for residents and visitors; and
