A LOCAL LAW AMENDING CHAPTER 122 OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF MONTGOMERY ENTITLED “ZONING” TO ESTABLISH LIMITS ON THE NUMBER OF WINDOW SIGNS PEMITTED FOR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL USES.

BE IT ENACTED by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Montgomery, New York as follows:

SECTION 1. Legislative intent.

The Board of Trustees finds and determines that many businesses in the Village display numerous and various types of signs in the windows of their establishments. While the Board understands the reason for businesses to advertise their products, promotions and sales, this practice has led many business owners to post an excessive number of signs on their windows such that, in some cases, every inch of window space is covered. The Board of Trustees believes that this excessive signage detracts from the historic and aesthetic beauty of the Village. The Board of Trustees, therefore, determines that certain modifications to the sign laws of the Village are necessary to avoid this blight caused by excessive signage. The Board of Trustees also determines that the proposed changes will enhance the land use policies of the Village, will protect property values, enhance and protect the physical appearance of the community and encourage a better business environment.
