today, Boca Raton has a strict development code for the size and types
of commercial buildings, building signs, and advertisements that may
be erected within the city limits. No outdoor car dealerships are
allowed in the municipality. No billboards are permitted; the city's
only billboard was grandfathered in during annexation, such as near
the Town Center Mall. The strict development code has led to several
major thoroughfares without large signs or advertisements in the
traveler's view. Boca Raton, Florida Top Movies & Young Movies
