Frontage	Number of Signs	Sign Area	Side Line	Max. Height
Less than 50′	1	24′	10′	20′
50′ through 99′	1	48′	15′	20′
100′ through 199′	1	64′	20′	20′
200′ through 299′	1	72′	30′	20′
300′ through 399′	2	128′	40′	25′
400′ and greater	2	192′	50′	30′

 

Notes:

Frontage on the public right-of-way to which the sign is directed.

Permitted area of sign expressed in square feet.

Minimum distance in feet from a side property line for any part of a ground sign. Where more than one sign is permitted, the minimum distance between such signs is 100 feet.

Square feet expressed is total sign area for both signs.

_____

Front and rear setbacks.

No part of any sign including a pole or other structural support that is more than two and one-half feet and less than ten feet above the centerline of an adjoining street shall be closer than ten feet to a front property line. This shall apply to all front property lines for lots or parcels that have frontage on two or more streets. Any part of a sign that is less than two and one-half feet or more than ten feet above the centerline of an adjoining street may have a 0' front setback.

No part of any sign shall be less than 15 feet from a rear property line.

_____

B.

Building signs.

1.

Subject to the design criteria in part 9.06.00 of this article, the maximum height of a building sign shall be 18 feet, except that on a building of more than two stories, a single building sign is allowed above 18 feet on each side of the building.

2.

Each multiple occupancy complex may display one permanent accessory building sign on each side of the principal building or buildings in which the complex is located, not to exceed a sign area of up to ten percent of the facade area (see part 9.05.00, Measurement Determinations) of each building side or 200 square feet, whichever is smaller.

3.

Each occupant of a multiple occupancy complex may display three permanent accessory building signs on any exterior portion of the complex that is part of the occupant's unit (not including a common or jointly owned area), not to exceed a total combined sign area of 15 percent of the facade area (see part 9.05.00, Measurement Determinations) of such exterior portion or 200 square feet, whichever is smaller.

4.

Each occupant not located in a multiple occupancy complex may display three permanent accessory building signs on each side of the principal building in which the occupancy is located, not to exceed a total combined sign area for each building side of 20 percent of the facade area (see part 9.05.00, Measurement Determinations) of the building side or 200 square feet, whichever is smaller.

C.

Multiple frontages. If a building has frontage on two or more streets, each frontage shall be separately considered for the purposes of determining compliance with the provisions of these regulations, but the permitted sign area for one frontage may not be combined with that permitted on another frontage to increase the permitted sign area on one frontage. However, no ground sign on one right-of-way may be closer than 100 feet to a sign on another right-of-way, measured as the sum of distances measured continuously along the rights-of-way through a common point or points.
