The following standards shall apply to all signs:
(A) Location, height and area.
(1) On-premises column signs and ground mounted signs shall be located at least four feet behind any right-of-way.
(2) Computation of height shall be determined by the vertical distance measured from the highest point of the sign, including any molding, trim, border or frame above the roadway surface from which the sign is to be viewed. Signs shall not be placed upon a swale or mound built for the purpose of altering the height of the sign in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Unified Development Ordinance.
(3) Computation of area shall be determined by the area within a single, continuous perimeter enclosing the extreme limits of characters, lettering, logos, illustrations or ornamentations, together with any material or color forming an integral part of the display or to differentiate the sign from the background to which it is placed. Structural supports bearing no sign copy are not included in the sign area.
(B) V-type signs. V-type signs shall be considered two signs when the angle between the two surfaces is greater than 30 degrees.
