OUTLINE: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO SIGN CONTROL <br /> <br />Define the sign problems, '. <br /> <br />a) Categorize according to type of structural support <br /> <br /> for the sign. <br /> 1) Building signs, i.e., signs attached to building <br /> walls, roofs, windows, canopies, awning, etc. <br /> The structural characteristic of such signs is <br /> that a building, fence or other structure having <br /> an independent reason for its existence also <br /> serves as the support for the sign. <br /> <br /> 2) Freestanding signs - signs which stand free from <br /> <br /> buildings and fences: e.go portable signs, pole <br /> signs, tethered balloons, flag poles. <br /> <br />b) Categorize according to the type of message displayed <br /> on the sign. <br /> <br /> 1) On-premise signs. <br /> <br /> 2) Off-premise signs. <br /> <br /> 3) Other references to the content of the sign <br /> message raise possible First Amendment questions, <br /> so it is better to avoid other regulatory <br /> references to sign content. <br /> <br />c) Sign problems include clutter, driver distraction, <br /> blocking of competing signs, off-premise signs <br /> competing with on-premise signs and impairing the <br /> improvement and development of property to higher and <br /> better uses. <br /> <br />-1- <br /> <br /> <br />
