§ 11.00.00. Purpose and Intent.  


Latest version.
  • Lake County has become a recognized tourist and economic growth center in Florida. With rolling hills, lakes, state parks and rural landscapes, Lake County has much to offer visitors, new residents and businesses. Sign regulation is needed to encourage a visually pleasing environment in order to attract residential construction, tourist activity, business and industrial development. Lake County also views sign regulation as a method of protecting the public investment, ensuring pedestrian and traffic safety, promoting the effectiveness of advertising, discouraging over-concentration, unsuitable location, and excessive height, bulk and area. It is the intent of this chapter to provide signage regulations to preserve scenic, economic and aesthetic values including the special character and attractiveness of Lake County communities.
