§ 156.40 SIGN STANDARDS.
   (A)   Sign districts defined. The districts used to define sign standards shall be the districts of the Future Land Use component of the Cleburne Comprehensive Plan. The future land use plan subdivides the city into four land use categories and 18 land use districts. These districts also serve as the design districts for the development code.
   (B)   Assignment of sign district. If a property falls within two different districts, the Cleburne Building Official shall determine which design district applies, based on the land use plan, taking all of the following into consideration:
      (1)   Proposed use of the property;
      (2)   Spatial distribution of property between the districts in question and where majority of the property lies;
      (3)   District in which the primary street frontage of the property is located; and
      (4)   District assignment of neighboring properties.
   (C)   Sign standards by district. The following are the permitted sign types for each district, as well as any special dimensional standards particular to that district. If no dimensional standard is indicated, the requirements assigned by § 156.38 shall apply.
      (1)   Regional Corridor District.
         (a)   Purpose and intent. “Promote regional connectivity and mobility, as well as, regional wayfinding. Development should meet these objectives.”
         (b)   Design determinant. “Value transfer to non-highway fronting properties.”
         (c)   Development form. “Sites in these corridors should not draw from frontage road access, but build upon backer road and cross street access. Monumentation should be focused on these roadways. The subdivision code should provide adequate project scale review with respect to street alignment, access points/curb cut, infrastructure connections, and right-of-way.”
