Purpose and Scope of Sign Regulations.
Orlando City Code § 64.100
in effectSec. 64.100. - Purpose and Scope of Sign Regulations.
The requirements of this chapter are the minimum necessary to promote the public health, safety, and welfare, including traffic safety, and to protect the character and aesthetics of residential, commercial, and industrial areas throughout the City. Therefore, the display of signs should be appropriate to the land, building, structure, or use to which they are appurtenant and be adequate, but not excessive, for their intended purpose.
It is the intent of this chapter that signs be accessory and incidental to their respective land, building, structure, or use.
Signs commonly referred to as outdoor advertising, billboards, or poster panels (all defined as "Sign, Billboard" in Chapter 66) are classified as offsite signs. The prohibition of new billboard signs is deemed necessary to preserve the character and sound development of the City. It is intended that such signs legally remaining as of September 1, 2000, shall be deemed nonconforming and shall be removed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter regarding nonconforming signs and amortization.
The most recent edition of the International Sign Association definitions for signs shall be used for any sign not specifically defined in this Chapter or Chapter 66 of this Code.
