The design guidelines and standards
exist to provide direction for signs within the town of Vail that enhance local streetscapes and provide aesthetic consistency with both the built and natural environment. The guidelines
and standards are intended to encourage expression and creativity. The design guidelines make use of the word "should", to allow for subjectivity and creativity, whereas the design standards
make use of the word "shall", signifying strict interpretation and enforcement. (Ord. 19(2003) § 1)
