follows:
ARTICLE XI. SIGNS.
Sec. 78-731. — Purpose, scone and ilntentand purpose.
al Purpose. The regulations in this article are not intended to regulate or censor speech based on its
content or viewpoint, but rather to regulate the secondary effects of speech that may adversely affect the
Village's substantial and compelling govemmental interests in preserving scenic beauty and community
aesthetics, and in vehicular and pedestrian safety in conformance with the First Amendment.
b Sco e.

control devices.
(3) In the event of any conflict between this article and any declaration of covenants, bylaws, or
other restrictions applying to any property within the Village, the language affording the more
restrictive interpretation shall apply.
41 The Villagespecifically finds that these sign regulations are narrowly tailored to achieve the
substantial governmental interests of aesthetics, as well as truth and accuracy in commercial
speech, and are the least restrictive means to achieve the compelling government interest in
vehicular and pedestrian safety.
c Intent.
(1) Substitution clause. It is not the purpose of this article to regulate or control the copy, content
or viewpoint of signs. Nor is it the intent of this article to afford greater to commercial
speech than to noncommercial speech. Any sign, display or device allowed under this article may
contain, in lieu of any other copy, any otherwise lawful noncommercial message that complies
2
Page 5 of 29
Agenda Item #1.
with all other requirements of this article. The noncommercial message may occupy the entire
sign area or any portion thereof, and may substitute for or be combined with the commercial
message. The sign message may be changed from commercial to noncommercial, or from one
noncommercial message to another, as frequently as desired by the sign's owner, provided that
the sign is not prohibited, and the sign continues to comply with all requirements of this article.
(2) This article establishes comprehensive regulations for the control of signs in order to preserve.
