The Village will not issue a building or sign permit to construct or alter buildings, signs and structures unless the permit application has been examined and certified as complying with all the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and/or Sign Code.
Enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance ensures that adequate light, pure air, privacy and convenient access to property is provided and maintained and that congestion in the public streets and highways is not increased whenever possible.
The Zoning Ordinance accomplishes these goals by classifying, regulating and restricting the location and use of buildings, structures and land for trade, residential and other uses, and by regulating and restricting the intensity of uses. Enforcement of the Sign Code ensures protection from sign clutter, provides adequate and appropriate identification of uses and eliminates unnecessary distractions to pedestrians and motorists.
