(A) All rigid or non-rigid awnings, canopies, marquees or signs extending over any public sidewalk, street, alley or public place must be securely fastened and constructed so that there will be no danger of the same being dislodged by ordinary winds or falling from other cause and shall be constructed without ground support on the public right-of-way. All awnings, canopies or marquees constructed of combustible materials shall be fire-proof in accordance with city laws and shall be maintained in a safe and good condition.
(B) The lowest part of any rigid or non-rigid awning, canopy, marquee or sign shall be at least eight feet above the level of the walk or public way over which it extends. However, any support or framework shall be not less than seven and one-half feet above the walk or public way over which it extends. In no event shall a rigid or non-rigid awning, canopy, marquee or sign be erected or constructed over any public way used by vehicles if any part of its support or framework or any part of the sign is less than 15 feet above the level of the public way.
(C) The projection of signs from the property lines shall be as provided in the zoning code. No rigid or non-rigid awning, canopy or marquee shall be projected from the property line more than five feet. In no event shall the projection be closer than two feet from the curb line.
