Before you file in Fairview

Commercial district (CPDD) has its own sign codeInside the CPDD, the CPDD Code (Ord. 2014-9-11B) Article 6 governs signs and takes precedence over the Town Code where they conflict. The older CPDD rules in Town Code Article 3.13 Division 2 may no longer apply. Check with the town which rules apply to your lot. Source
Warrants and site plansIn the CPDD many signs (banners, wayfinding, murals, roof signs, extra wall signs) need a Minor or Major Warrant, and multitenant developments must have their own sign rules (Town Code § 3.13.101(2), § 3.13.103(e)).
PC and PD zoningPlanned Center (PC) land may follow either the business sign rules (GB and business PC zones) or the single-family rules, and Planned Development (PD) zoning can set its own standards. Ask the town.
Sign permit fee not foundFairview's fee schedule lists no sign permit fee (its sign fee is set by council resolution). Ask the town.
