Downtown sign code enforcement and illuminated band signs

The village's form-based code bans internally illuminated band signs downtown and has 'amortized' all old non-conforming signs — meaning they're all technically illegal now. The T-Mobile case shows the board won't grant exceptions, pushing businesses toward gooseneck or other conforming lighting as signs get replaced over time.
