transportation network by reducing the confusion or distraction to
motorists and enhancing the motorist's ability to see pedestrians,
obstacles, other vehicles, and traffic signs;
Enhance the impression of the City which is conveyed to
tourists and visitors by controlling the location, number, and
size of signs;
Integrate sign regulations more effectively with other
regulations by establishing requirements for setbacks, height, and
spacing to allow for lighting, ventilation, and preservation of
views in a manner consistent with land uses in the various zoning
districts; and
To preserve and enhance the appearance of the city and the
public interest in aesthetics, and to control and reduce visual
clutter and blight.

owned or controlled by him a sign in which the dominant theme
of material taken as a whole appeals to a prurient interest

owned or controlled by said person a sign which prevents free
ingress to or egress from any door, window, or fire escape.
OBSTRUCTING VISION

observing a sight triangle as provided for in Sec. 1,
"Definitions."
INTERFERENCE WITH TRAFFIC
