Signs within these types of land uses are intended to provide essential information concerning: (i) Rules and regulations governing the operation of the facility; (ii) Educational information identifying unique aspects of the facility, the property itself, or significant environmental features that are located on the property; and (iii) Identification of sponsors or public/private partnerships that are responsible for the development, upkeep, and maintenance of existing recreational amenities. (b) While some of this information could be construed as being advertising material, the County views such signs as identifying those responsible for the existence of the facility and allows for recognition of entities that have entered into partnerships with the operator of the facility to provide local residents with recreational opportunities. (2) Applicability The regulations included herein govern the erection of signs at the following: (a) Parks, Public and Non-profit, (b) Recreational Facilities, Non-Profit, (c) Recreational Facilities, Golf Courses, and 18
