The general theme of the Design Review Overlay District is to encourage the use of
American Northwest and 1870 through 1930 architectural styles and the use of those
materials, graphics and architectural designs set forth in the DR chapter.
Signage for any project shall provide for business identification and minimize clutter and
confusion on and off the site. Signs are to provide effective and necessary business
identification systems adapted to the building design.
.
.
Section 8-2A-8(K)(1)
No signs shall be erected or maintained in any district as established by the Zoning
Ordinance except those signs specifically enumerated in this Chapter. The number and
area of signs as outlined in this Chapter are intended to be maximum standards which do
not necessarily ensure architectural compatibility. Therefore, in addition to the
enumerated standards, consideration shall be given to a sign's relationship to the overall
appearance of the subject property as well as the surrounding community. Compatible
design, simplicity and sign effectiveness are to be used in establishing guidelines for
sign approval.
.
Section 8-2A-8(C)(5)
Sign materials and overall appearance shall compliment with the building architecture
and colors as determined by the Design Review Board.
.
Section 8-2A-8(C)(9)
