SIGNS
".-"
Sign control.n either be handled by amending thttresent regulotions of the code
or by plocing them in Zone D. Because Zone D is an overlay zone which adds
to the regulatians only where it is applied, it wauld be possible to vary the sign
regulations to suit the individual areos. The sign regulations applicable to the
Central area could be and probably should be different than those appl icable to
other commercial oreas in the City. Therefore, it is recommended that the sign
regulations suggested for the Central Area be listed in Zone 0 and after public
hearings applied to the area either as suggested or modified after the hearings.
ZONE "D" Regulations for the Central Area:
1. Any exterior signs displayed shall pertain only to the nome of the business
or the use condu cted within the building.
