Editor's Note: This local law repealed former Ch. 259, Signs,
adopted 7-13-2005 by L.L. No. 2-2005 (Ch. 105 of the 1988 Code), as
amended.
This chapter shall be known as the "Sign Law."
The purpose of these regulations is to:
A.
Protect the public health, safety and welfare by regulating the number,
location, construction, installation, illumination and maintenance
of all signs in the Village.
B.
Establish standards to permit adequate identification of the use
of property, to provide for free speech, to protect property values,
to avoid visual and lighting pollution, to create an attractive economic
and business climate, and to enhance and protect the physical appearance
of the community.
C.
Reduce physical obstructions which may contribute to vehicular and
pedestrian accidents.
D.
Recognize that the Village was formed on the banks of the Erie Canal
and its development was tied to early nineteenth-century waterborne
transportation and that the Village wishes to celebrate the best elements
of that early time and to build on the architectural heritage and
historic patterns of development.
E.
Require that all signs shall be legible, attractive and compatible
with the sign's surroundings. The appearance, character and quality
of the community is affected by the location, size, construction and
graphic design of its signs. Therefore, such signs should convey their
information clearly and simply to enhance their surroundings.
A.
Permits required. Except as otherwise provided, all signs shall require
a sign permit to be issued in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter prior to erecting and maintaining such sign in the Village.
B.
Permitting authority. The Zoning Board of Appeals is responsible
for the issuance of sign permits where a sign is not located in the
Architectural Review District. The Code Enforcement Officer is responsible
for sign permits where the sign is located in the Architectural Review
District, requiring a sign package approval.
C.
Sign permit expiration. A sign permit shall be valid for a period
of 90 days from the date of issuance. If said sign is not erected
within the time period specified, said sign permit shall become void
and the owner shall apply for a new sign permit, which shall be subject
to these regulations and the payment of a new sign permit fee.
D.
Sign permit applications.
(1)
All applications for a sign permit shall be made in writing upon
forms prescribed and provided by the Code Enforcement Officer, shall
include payment of the application fee, and shall contain the following
information:
(a)
Name, address and telephone number of the owner and a letter
from the owner authorizing the application.
(b)
The location of any building or structure upon which the sign
is to be erected.
(c)
A detailed drawing or print to a scale not exceeding one inch
equals one foot, showing the construction details of the sign (including
dimensions, shape, size, colors, materials and name of sign maker),
the lettering and/or pictorial matter and the position of lighting
or other extraneous devices; and a location plan drawn to a scale
not exceeding one inch equals 20 feet, showing the position of the
sign on any building or structure, including building elevation, any
private or public street or highway adjacent to the site.
(d)
The zoning district in which the sign is to be placed and reference
cited to the sign requirements as contained in this chapter.
(e)
Photographs of all other signs on the same land and notation
whether those other signs are conforming, nonconforming, or legally
nonconforming.
(f)
Written consent of the owner of the building, structure or land
to which or on which the sign is to be erected.
(g)
The applicant's signature attesting to the accuracy of the application.
(2)
The Code Enforcement Officer's review of all sign permits shall be
based upon the completed application form, any accompanying photos,
drawings and a site inspection.
A.
B and C Districts. Except as otherwise provided herein, all signs
in the B and C Zoning Districts shall comply with the following design
guidelines:
(1)
Initial considerations.
(a)
Fit the sign in the sign space. Many of Spencerport's nineteenth-century
commercial buildings on Union Street were designed with a horizontal
lintel sign space stretching across the top of the storefront. A horizontal
wall sign may be secured in the sign space or letters may be painted
or applied directly to the lintel surface. Although there are square-foot
limitations for wall signs, the proportions of the building with the
sign and with the neighboring buildings and signs will determine the
appropriate size.
(b)
Where no sign space exists. If the horizontal sign space does
not exist on the building, there may be adequate wall area for a wall
sign with a vertical character or for a projecting sign. Both of these
sign types are limited to a maximum of nine square feet in area, except
in areas where the abundance of signs and their proximity to one another
necessitates a smaller sign format.
(c)
Do not cover architectural details. In studying the architecture
of your building, whether it is old or new, it is important to notice,
respect, and retain the cornice lines, lintels, door frame details,
et cetera. Be sure that your proposed sign does not cover, obscure,
or become inharmonious with existing architectural features and proportions.
(d)
The basis for decisions on sign type, sign size, and sign location
should come from architectural concerns which complement the best
of nineteenth-century architecture.
(e)
The details of the sign will also need the careful attention
of the applicant, perhaps a designer, and the sign builder. Whoever
works out the details will need to produce a drawing, to scale, of
the proposed sign, including the lettering type, layout, artwork,
colors, et cetera.
(f)
In general, the sign represents the shop or the company in the
best manner possible.
(g)
The guidelines for details include the following:
[1]
Lettering with an historic precedent is preferred. Lettering
that is too bold, harsh in its simplicity, or trendy is not permitted.
[2]
A carefully thought-out color scheme of somewhat subdued colors
is encouraged. There is no specific limitation on the number of colors
used in order to allow creative artwork. The use of black and white
alone is discouraged.
[3]
While Spencerport's earliest signs were often simple rectangular
shapes, decorative variations are preferred. Variations to the rectangular
signboard became popular in the late 19th century, and curved and
oval shapes were introduced. Often the lines of the lettering were
curved to follow the shape of the sign board.
(h)
If the proposed sign is to be projecting from the building,
special attention should be given to the design of the bracket. Historically,
brackets were constructed of wood or wrought iron. The design of the
bracket should reflect the shape of the sign and should enhance, not
dominate, the sign.
A.
Wall signs.

Definition. A "wall sign" is a sign securely affixed to a wall, or
painted on a wall, and not projecting beyond the building face fronting
on a street or parking lot, and not above the highest line of the

up to 15 square feet of total sign area for two or more businesses
located on upper floors, provided each business has its own entrance
(building face for second-floor establishments to be measured at second
floor, for third-floor establishments at third floor, etc.).
(b)
If one business is located on an upper floor served by its own
entrance, a wall sign not to exceed one square foot in size may be
used at the first-floor entrance.

shall be no higher than the top of the second-story windowsills of
the building from which the sign projects.
(f)

side views are considered to be those which will fit into a rectangle
or other geometric shape.
D.
Window signs.
(1)
Definition. A "window sign" is a sign affixed to, and inside, the

a rooflike covering of canvas that is often adjustable. It is supported
entirely from the exterior wall of a building and located over a window
or door to provide protection against the sun, rain, and wind. Attaching
a patch of fabric that has the sign painted or sewn onto it to an
existing awning is not permitted. An awning sign is located on an
awning that has received prior and separate approval from the Code
Enforcement Officer. Umbrella-style awnings are not permitted.
(2)
Size. There shall be no advertising on any awning, except that the
business name may be painted on the vertical portion of the apron
which is parallel to the building front. No such sign shall extend
beyond the limits of said awning or have a total area in excess of
1/2 square foot for each linear foot of the front of the awning. Such
