[Amended 5-8-1990; 8-13-1996 by L.L. No. 11-1996; 6-8-1999 by L.L. No. 7-1999; 7-10-2012 by L.L. No. 3-2012]
All signs permitted in the Town of Stony Point
shall comply with the requirements and procedures as set forth in
this article. The installation of signs is important for advertising,
direction, identification and warnings; however, such signs should
not impede the aesthetics of the Town of Stony Point. Thus, the following
regulations provide guidance as to the requirements and procedures
for the installation of signs.
This article shall be known and may be cited
hereinafter as the "Signs Law of the Town of Stony Point."
It is the intention of the Town Board of the
Town of Stony Point, by the adoption of this article, to regulate
the posting and display of signs on property within the Town of Stony
Point in pursuance of and for the purpose of securing and protecting
the public health, comfort, convenience, safety and welfare and preserving
the peace, good order and physical appearance of the Town of Stony
Point and its inhabitants. The Town Board finds that the streets,
highways and other areas of the Town are becoming increasingly cluttered
with signs that are interfering with the natural beauty and traffic
safety of the Town. The substantial possibility exists of a proliferation
of such signs in the Town over extended periods of time with the attendant
pedestrian, vehicular traffic safety, litter, structural and other
hazards as well as loss of meaning of the message conveyed by said
signs. It is the purpose of this article to protect the general public
from the hazards of flying paper or cloth, general debris and litter
and the destruction of or injury to property and property rights.
Except as specifically exempted in this article,
no sign shall hereinafter be erected, reerected, constructed, enlarged
or altered without a sign permit. No sign permit shall be issued except
as shown on an approved site development plan or sign plan. Where
only the sign-display portion of a validly erected sign is being changed,
no sign permit is required.
As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
Any Town, county, state or federal property, road or right-of-way
located in the Town of Stony Point.
Any material structure or device or part thereof composed
of lettered or pictorial matter which is located out-of-doors or on
the exterior of any building or indoors as a window sign, displaying
an advertisement, announcement, notice or name and shall include any
declaration, demonstration, display, representation, illustration
or insignia used to advertise or promote the interests of any person
or business or cause when such is placed in view of the general public.
Any sign used to announce the use of the lot or direction
or location of buildings and structures on the lot for an office,
home occupation place of worship, charitable or other institutional
use.
[Amended 4-27-2021 by L.L. No. 4-2021]
Each side of a sign shall be counted separately for square
footage determinations.

and permanently affixed by any other means, in or upon the grounds;
included are pole signs, pylon signs and masonry wall-type signs.
