Millbrae Municipal Code Art. I Purpose And Applicability

The city recognizes and strongly subscribes to the right of business people to identify their businesses with commercial signs. The city also recognizes that the location, number, size and design of signs significantly influence public safety, the city's visual environment and the perception of the city's economic condition. It is the intent of these regulations to restore, maintain, protect and enhance public safety, the quality of the city's visual appearance, and the city's economic condition while continuing to recognize the need of businesses to advertise goods and services. The city intends to regulate the time, place and manner in which signs, both commercial and noncommercial, display their messages.
