The purpose of this chapter is to protect the general health, safety, morals and welfare of the community by ...... providing an instrument for protecting the physical appearance of the community and for encouraging high quality, effective outdoor graphics for the purposes of navigation, information and identification. Specifically, it is the intent of this Chapter to provide businesses in the Municipality with equitable sign standards in accord with fair competition and aesthetic standards acceptable to the community, to provide the public with a safe and effective means of locating businesses, services and points of interest within the Municipality, and to provide for a safe vehicular and pedestrian traffic environment. This Chapter is based on the premise that signs are as much subject to control as noise, odors, debris and other similar characteristics of land use, that if not regulated, can become a nuisance to adjacent properties or the community in general, or depreciate the value of other properties within the community. It is also the intent of this Chapter, as with the entire Dublin Planning and zoning Code, to guarantee equal treatment under the laws through accurate record keeping and consistent enforcement. 1189.02 DEFINITIONS Sign- A sign is defined as any name, number, symbol, - identification, description, display, illustration, object, graphic, sign structure, or part thereof, whether permanent or ..... temporary, which is affixed to, painted on, represented directly or indirectly upon, or projected onto a building, structure, lot, or other device, whether mobile or affixed to the ground, and which directs attention to any object, product, place, activity, person, institution, organization, or business.
