TOWN OF VERNON
ZONING REGULATIONS
In the front yard setback area, the Planning & Zoning Commission
may require the construction of a berm to shield large expanses of
parking located in the area between the building and the street line.
If a berm is required, the Commission will first take into consideration
the visibility of the building from the street line and the effect of the
berm on sight distances from the parcel’s curb cut. At a minimum the
front yard setback area must be landscaped with low-level shrubbery,
ground cover and/or sod.
4.21.6.5 Signage of the commercial and office uses permitted in the zone
shall conform to the following criteria:
One (1) all-purpose sign per parcel to be located at the
ingress/egress point shall be permitted per lot of record. The sign
shall not exceed one hundred (100) square feet in area and shall not
exceed ten (10) feet in height, nor be located less than fifteen (15)
feet from the edge of pavement. The sign may be illuminated either
internally or by spotlights. Each individual business located upon a
lot of record may have one (1) parallel sign affixed to the
building/store façade. The maximum area of the sign shall be
determined by multiplying the length of the building/store façade
times 1 (e.g., thirty (30) foot façade results in thirty (30) square foot
sign area).
No neon, movable, temporary or banner type signs are permitted.
4.21.7 Use Variances: Under no circumstances shall the Zoning Board of Appeals
grant a variance for a use not permitted in this zoning district.
