            11.   Campus signs, provided:
               a.   Campus master sign plan (CMSP):
                  i.   Prior to the installation or revision of any signs or visual branding elements on a campus which are in excess of the four allowable signs addressed in Section 11.3.2.1 maximum number of permanent signs of this chapter or for signs that differ from the approved size, materials, textures, or other regulated characteristics, a CMSP must be submitted to the City Sign Administrator for review and approval by the Bardstown City Council.
                  ii.   The CMSP must be drawn to scale showing the location and dimensions of all proposed signs.
                  iii.   The CMSP must include technical descriptions and color illustrations of all signs indicating their materials, design, colors, textures, method of illumination, and structural and electrical specifications, and any additional information necessary to satisfy the requirements of state and local construction codes.
                  iv.   The CMSP must include any proposed signs located at public vehicular campus entrances.
                  v.   The City Council may approve a CMSP as an alternative to the requirements set forth in Section 11.3 of this ordinance.
               b.   CMSP evaluation criteria. CMSPs shall be evaluated based on the following criteria:
                  i.   Placement. All sign structures shall be placed where they are visible and legible. Factors to be considered include the location relative to pedestrian movement, traffic movement and access points, site features, other structures, and orientation relative to viewing distances and viewing angles.
                  ii.   Size. All signs shall appropriate in size for visibility and legibility. Factors to be considered in determining appropriate size include topography, volume and speed of traffic, viewing distances and angles, proximity to adjacent uses, and placement of display.
                  iii.   Quantity. The number of signs that may be approved within any campus shall be sufficient to provide necessary facilitation of internal circulation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic and wayfinding for safety of the occupants of vehicles and pedestrians.
                  iv.   Design features and materials. Design features and materials shall be compatible with the architecture, colors, and materials of the structures.
                  v.   Amendments. The City Sign Administrator may administratively approve minor amendments to a CMSP, where such changes are determined to have little or no visual impact and are consistent with the intent of the original approval.
               c.   Road-front entrance signs. Requests for additional signs placed at public vehicular campus entrances will be considered on a case-by-case basis, provided the following requirements are met:
                  i.   The campus has more than one public vehicular entrance and each entrance is located on a separate public street or opposite sides of the same street; or the campus has more than one public vehicular entrance and the entrances are located at least 500 feet apart;
                  ii.   The proposed signs conform to the area and height limitations set forth in Section 11.3.2.2.1.4 "Developments with gross floor space more than ten thousand square feet etc." of this chapter.
Requests must be submitted as part of a CMSP to the City Sign Administrator, for final approval by the Bardstown City Council. The CMSP will be evaluated to determine the smallest number and size of signs to be placed at the entrances to effectively direct the public to the campus.
