§ 17.42.010. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • The intent of this title shall be to coordinate type, placement and physical dimensions of signs within the different land use zones; to recognize the commercial communication requirements of all sectors of the business community; to encourage the innovative use of design; to promote both renovation and proper maintenance; to mitigate the impacts of commercial signs on Butte's surrounding natural scenic beauty; to allow for special circumstances; and to guarantee equal treatment under the law through accurate recordkeeping and consistent enforcement. These shall be accomplished by regulation of the display, erection, use and maintenance of signs. The use of signs is regulated according to zone. The placement and physical dimensions of signs are regulated primarily by length of street frontage and zoning district. No sign shall be permitted as a main or accessory use except in accordance with the provisions of this title.
