The general theme of the Design Review Overlay District is to encourage the use of American
Northwest and l870 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.

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)(S)
.
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)(8)
.
Each business within a single building shall be allowed one wall sign for every street it
fronts and the entire building shall be permitted one monument sign for every street it fronts.
The sides of the building on which the signs are to be placed shall be shown by the owner,
but shall be as approved by the design review board.
