Purpose & Intent

The Downtown Center-1 (DC-1) and Downtown Center-2 (DC-2) Zoning Districts were developed as a result of the Downtown Center Plan, intended to enhance and sustain the downtown character and to encourage its development as a destination for the citizens of the Town and surrounding areas. As such, there is a great importance in signage, how it is displayed and fits into the fabric of the downtown historically, in new development with the same design and character, and how uniquely that appeals to our past and identifies the future and resilience of downtown. The following standards are unique from other signage standards within the jurisdiction of the Town because of the character and historical significance of the area.
