Moving, flashing or animated signs are prohibited except for
a minimum of sixty-second intervals needed for the functioning of
a clock, thermometer or calendar. Automatically or manually continuous
changing message signs are not permitted. The source of illumination
for any sign shall be a white, steady, stationary light of reasonable
intensity, shielded and directed solely at the sign, or a white interior
light of reasonable intensity; however, neon tubes or similar devices
are not permitted. No illuminated or spotlighted sign shall extend
over a street nor shall any sign be permitted which will obstruct
the free and clear vision of those traveling on a street. No sign
may be illuminated between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., except signs identifying
police or fire stations or other such signs as the Zoning Board of
Appeals may specifically authorize to be illuminated at other hours,
if the Zoning Board of Appeals finds that the nature of the use on
the premises is such that such illumination should be permitted in
the public interest. No outdoor floodlighting or decorative lighting
shall be permitted except lighting designed to illuminate walks, driveways,
doorways, outdoor living areas or outdoor recreational facilities
and excepting temporary holiday lighting in use for no longer than
a four-week period in any calendar year, except for decorative floodlighting
on institutional or historic buildings and on the national and state
colors. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply not only to exterior
signs but also to interior signs that are designed or placed so as
to shine through windows or doors of the building. Billboards, as
permitted pursuant to §§ 135-910-01 through 135-910-05,
may, by special permit, utilize light-emitting diodes (LEDs), plasma
or other technology to automatically change a display or message.
