The following provisions shall apply to projecting signs.
(A) Except as may be provided hereafter, one projecting sign shall be permitted for each ground floor use. If the lineal ground floor use frontage exceeds 200 feet, an additional projecting sign shall be permitted, and for each additional 300 lineal feet, another projecting sign shall be permitted.
(B) Where a use has such frontage on more than one street, there may be one projecting sign for each frontage, provided that only a sign computed for the frontage of a street shall face the street, or there may be one corner projecting sign, which shall be computed on the basis of one-half the frontage of the use on both streets.
(C) It is the intent of this section to require the use of lateral supports that are contained within the framework of the sign or lateral supports that run parallel to the sign frame, and chains shall not be permitted for use as a supporting member.
(D) The height of a projecting sign shall not exceed eight feet above the parapet wall of the building, and the lowest point of the projecting sign shall be not less than ten feet above the grade.
(E) The projection of projecting signs shall be limited by the more restrictive of the following.
(1) No projecting sign shall project further that the properly line or over any public sidewalk or right-of-way (except for under canopy signs not to exceed three square feet).
(2) No projecting sign shall project further than one-half the distance from the sign location to the nearest side lot line.
(3) The projection of a projecting sign shall be limited to five feet, three inches.
