(A) Surface area. The surface area of a sign shall be that area which is enclosed by the smallest rectangle that can be used to enclose the sign, excluding the supporting structure which does not form part of the sign proper or of the display.
(B) Double-faced signs. When two identical sign faces are placed back to back so that both faces cannot be viewed from any one point at the same time, and when such sign faces are part of the same sign structure and are not more than 42 inches apart, the sign area shall be computed by the measurement of one of the faces. For the purposes of this chapter, a sign which has two or more sides visible from a given vantage point, each side shall be considered a separate sign.
