Description: Small and midsize communities have different sign control needs than do large urban areas. This report presents a new model sign ordinance for such communities. Longer and more comprehensive than previous model ordinances, it is easy both to use and to administer. The report explores the major issues in sign regulation--enforcement of regulations, sign location and design, and control of non-conforming signs. Extensive commentary explains the ordinances's provisions. A seciton on legal issues features a U.S. Supreme Court case--Metromedia, Inc. v. City of San Diego.
