§ 80.012. Master or common signage plan requirement.

From and after the effective date of this Ordinance, no permit shall be issued for any individual permanent sign requiring a permit unless and until a master or common signage plan for the zone lot and premises on which the sign will be erected has been approved.

(a)

The master or common signage plan shall include the following information:

(1)

A site layout plan in accordance with standards established by the planning and zoning commission.

(2)

Specifications for each sign proposed to be located on the premises and for each existing sign located on the premises in sufficient detail to determine that the height, area, setback, and other requirements of this Ordinance have been met.

(3)

Accurate location(s) on the site layout plan for each existing and proposed sign.

(4)

Lighting or illumination method and scheme, if any.

(5)

Provisions for shared usage of any freestanding sign or signs.

(b)

A master or common signage plan shall be part of any development plan presented under the zoning or subdivision ordinances of the village and may be processed simultaneously with such submittals. The master or common signage plan must be approved prior to the issuance of any sign permit.

(c)

A master or common signage plan may be amended from time to time by filing a new plan which complies with all requirements of this Ordinance. Minor changes or adjustments in the master or common signage plan may be approved by the zoning administrator or other officer designated by the village, provided that such changes comply in all respects with the provisions of this Ordinance.

(d)

Subsequent to the approval of a master or common signage plan, no permanent sign shall thereafter be erected, fixed, placed, painted, or otherwise established on the subject premises other than in conformance with the plan which may be enforced in the same manner as any other provision of this Ordinance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the plan and the provisions of this Ordinance, this Ordinance shall control.
