Downtown sign code enforcement and illuminated band signs
Port Chester
Summary
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.

Impact analysis
Businesses with old illuminated signs will eventually have to pay to replace them with conforming designs.
Long-term, the whole downtown gets a more consistent look under the new code.
Storefront businesses like T-Mobile that want illuminated branding face redesign costs.
