(a) All signs shall be limited to indicate only the operator, the purpose of the business served, or instructions for parking. A maximum of two signs shall be permitted for each parking facility and each sign shall not exceed twenty square feet in area. No sign shall extend over six feet in height and shall not be located outside of that part of the zoning lot used for parking. When the parking facility abuts a Residential District, no sign shall be located nearer than twenty-five feet to a lot line of the Residential District. All signs, markers or any other method used to indicate direction of traffic movement and location of parking spaces shall be ground mounted as defined by this Zoning Code and maintained in a neat and legible condition. An area of landscaping may be maintained around the ground signs wherever possible.
(b) Parking facilities shall be illuminated whenever the public street lights are lighted, regardless of whether or not the street on which the zoning lot abuts has public street lights. Such illumination shall be located so as to illuminate the front, rear and both sides of the main building. The illumination of the parking area shall be designed so as not to cause excessive brightness to adjoining residences.
