F.
With
the prior written consent of the Mayor or City Clerk, a church, religious
organization or charitable organization organized under Section 501(3)

the exact location, number and height of said banners and said banners
shall not be erected until fifteen (15) days prior to the event and

Board of Aldermen, apply to the Board for permission to place vertical

Troy. The Board further reserves the right to restrict the number,

sign, including any temporary sign or sign held or carried by any
person, shall be permitted within the rights-of-way of any State highways
within the boundaries of the City of Troy, except those signs specifically
permitted and approved per applicable Missouri Department of Transportation
regulations.
B.
The
restriction regarding off-premise signs above reflects a formal finding
of fact on the part of the City of Troy, Missouri, that the prohibition
of off-premise advertising signage furthers two (2) compelling government
interests:
1.
The general public interest of reducing visual clutter caused by
off-premise advertising signage which the City has determined is a
significant cause of unsafe traffic conditions; and
2.
The public interest served by furthering the implementation of the
purposes of these regulations in terms of limiting the further introduction
of commercial uses into residential areas of which off-premise advertising
signs are the primary contributor.
C.
Furthermore,
the City advocates that this regulation leaves ample and adequate
alternative channels of commercial speech communication for the messages
portrayed on such off-premise advertising signs namely distributed
print media, broadcast media and point-of-purchase display and is
narrowly defined so as to limit said prohibition to commercial speech
on exterior signage.
D.

person violating the terms of this Section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor
and shall be subject to a fine not to exceed five hundred dollars
($500.00) per each violation.
