The Village Board of Trustees makes the following legislative
findings:
A.
In addition to signage allowed by this article, numerous means exist
in the Village to communicate various types of speech, including print
media, broadcast media, direct mailings to households, and dissemination
of information on the internet.
B.
Sign regulations in this article:
(1)
Promote the public welfare, health, and safety of people using public
roads and other public travelways;
(2)
Advance the aesthetic goals of the Village, while ensuring effectiveness
and flexibility in the design and use of such devices, without creating
detriment to the general public; and
(3)
Reduce the visual clutter caused by advertising signage, which is
a significant cause of unsafe traffic and visibility conditions.
C.
Sign regulations in this article are not intended to control the
content of a message except as allowed by law or to unduly restrict
the appearance of a sign.
This article promotes the public health, safety, and general
welfare and is intended to:
A.
Promote well-maintained and attractive signage within the Village;
B.
Provide for adequate business identification, advertising, and communication;
C.
Protect the safety and efficiency of the Village's transportation
network by reducing confusion or distractions to motorists and enhancing
motorists' ability to see and recognize pedestrians, obstacles, other
vehicles and official traffic signs, signals, or devices by minimizing
a proliferation of visual messages; and
D.
Protect the safety of the public by requiring proper maintenance
of signs and establishing minimum design and construction standards.

It is hereby determined that the number of billboards/off-premises
signs existing in Fox Crossing is excessive and distracting to motorists
and pedestrians, creates a traffic hazard, and mars the appearance
of the Village. Therefore, no billboards/off-premises signs shall
be constructed, erected, or placed upon any premises, public or private,
within Fox Crossing except as provided under Subsections B and C.
A.
Generally.
(1)
Billboards/off-premises signs existing prior to January 25,
1993, are considered legal nonconforming signs and may be permitted
to continue and be maintained in their current location/condition
provided such signs also meet the following requirements:
(a)
The sign(s) was (were) covered by a sign permit or a permit
for construction/erection of the sign(s) was issued prior to the date
of the adoption of this article, if one was required.
(b)
If no sign permit was required for the sign(s) in question and
the sign(s) was (were) in all respects in compliance with applicable
laws/sections on the date such sign was constructed/installed.
(2)
Maintenance shall be limited to replacement of structural members
that have deteriorated to the point where the sign is unsafe. All
replacement structural members shall be of the same type of material
as the original deteriorated structural member.
(3)
Repair of billboards/off-premises signs shall not alter the
support capability of the existing sign.
(4)
No structural modification of a legal nonconforming sign is
permitted. Structural modification shall not include changing of the
sign copy or normal maintenance such as cleaning, painting, or scraping
of the sign.
(5)
Sign faces may be changed without a permit unless the face is
being changed from a static display to an electronic message display.
(7)
The sign shall not be relocated.
(8)
The sign shall not be replaced except as follows:
(a)
A legal nonconforming billboard/off-premises sign or sign structure
which is damaged may be restored. Such sign or sign structure which
is destroyed or damaged shall be repaired or replaced within six months
of the date the damage occurred. After six months the sign shall not
be reconstructed or replaced. Removal shall include both the sign
and sign structure regardless of which incurred the damage. Restoration
of a damaged sign shall first require issuance of a sign permit and
the sign shall be restored or replaced using materials and components
of the same type used in the original sign.
(9)
At such time as the owner of any building or lot on which a
legal nonconforming billboard/off-premises sign is located requests
Planning Commission/Village Board approval for any change to the use,
zoning, building or lot upon which said sign is located, the Planning
Commission/Village Board may require that such sign be removed as
a condition of approval.
(10)
Any sign which does not wholly comply with the provisions of
this section and which is not classified as legal nonconforming shall
be ordered removed. If the sign owner, lessee, or owner of the premises
on which such sign is located fails to remove such sign, the Director
of Community Development may contract for removal of the sign(s) and
assess all costs associated with such removal to the property owner
as a special assessment to be collected in the same manner as property
taxes are collected in Fox Crossing.
B.
Business center signs. Business center signs are permitted on contiguous
properties within a planned commercial area zoned M-1 (mixed-use)

for allowing the off-premises sign location on the contiguous property.
(2)
The business center sign is located in an easement that provides
sufficient area to meet setback requirements as required in the M-1

(3)
The size of the business center sign shall meet the freestanding

sign is a standardized sign installed by the Village on public right-of-way
that provides directions to a public or private school, church, business
or industry. A Village-sponsored directional sign may be justified

readily visible from a major thoroughfare or intersection upon approaching
the intersection.

signs may request that their name be placed on the directional sign
by paying an application fee and an annual charge for the maintenance
and upkeep of the sign as set by resolution.
(2)
Such directional sign(s) shall be constructed to Fox Crossing
specifications.
(3)
No such sign shall be erected without the recommendation and
approval of the Zoning Administrator, the Street Superintendent, and
any other governmental entity responsible for the right-of-way if
it is not Fox Crossing.
(4)
Village-sponsored directional signs are provided by the Village
for the convenience of the public and are subject to removal at any

by more than six inches.
(2)
Sign copy may be placed on a canopy or awning, but only on the
vertical flaps.
(3)
If a wall sign is not visible from a road frontage, a sign may
be placed on a different side of the building as approved by the Zoning
Administrator. That side of the building will then serve as the "frontage"
and must meet all other wall sign requirements.
If a nonconforming commercial, industrial, or institutional
use does not have a sign, such establishment may have a wall or window
sign stating the name of the establishment without display or elaboration
not to exceed two feet in height and 10 feet in length.
The person owning the property on which a sign is located shall
maintain such sign to be presentable and in good structural condition
at all times, including replacement of defective parts, painting,
repainting, cleaning, and other acts required for proper maintenance.
If a sign is not maintained, the Zoning Administrator may issue written
notice to the property owner that the sign must be brought into compliance
with this article or removed within five days of receipt of such notice.
The Zoning Administrator may require compliance in fewer than five
days for public safety reasons.
If a business terminates operation at a particular location,
the owner of the property where the business was located shall remove
any nonconforming signs for the terminated business within six months
of the date of termination.
A sign that existed prior to March 31, 2013, that does not conform to the standards set forth in this article shall be subject to the provisions of Article 11 of this chapter relating to nonconformities. Two or more signs located closer than the distance standards indicated in this article shall become nonconforming for the purposes of this section, regardless of which sign was erected first and regardless of whether the nearest sign measured from is located within or outside of Village zoning jurisdiction.
Government personnel may remove a sign placed illegally on public
property (e.g., within a street right-of-way or a public park) without
notice to the person who installed or authorized the installation
of the sign. The official removing such sign may dispose of the sign
at his or her discretion.
The Municipal Clerk, Building Official, Zoning Administrator
or law enforcement officer may remove a sign placed in violation of
the laws governing elections.
