permanent signs and outdoor advertising structures or features to insure that any such
proposals do not detract from the function of, or design of, buildings, structures, surrounding

.
Sign materials and overall appearance shall compliment the building architecture and colors as
determined by the Design Review Board.

The design review board must find that any illuminated sign permitted under the specific
