6.01 INTENT

This section provides an administrative framework for controlling the establishment and maintenance of signs in the City and for the enforcement of the standards and regulations. It intends to provide maximum safety for motorists using the streets and for the pedestrians using public ways. This section intends to allow necessary identification with reasonable, orderly, and effective display of signs and outdoor advertising and to avoid the "canceling out" effect of conflicting adjacent signs and to conserve property values. It intends to support the general purpose of the City of Tiffin Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Future Land Use Plan of the City. It intends to prevent wasteful use of natural resources and to assure the continued attractiveness of the community.

Dates: an Iowa ordinance takes effect when it is published after adoption. Where the clerk's certificate records the publication date it is used; otherwise the adoption date stands in for it. "Not yet consolidated" means the ordinance amends this section but its new text has not been checked into this compilation yet: read the ordinance.
