On-premises signage in commercial areas is essential for the operation of a variety of uses. However, in lighter commercial developments, particularly those near residential development and neighboring residential districts, signage that is less intrusive by being smaller, shorter in height, and more uniform in sign type improves the aesthetic qualities of these and neighboring districts and limits the visual distraction of signage.
(b) Permitted sign use as accessory to non-dwellings: a-frame sign, awning or canopy sign, banner, chalkboard sign, changeable copy sign, feather sign, freestanding sign, marquee sign, monument sign, wall sign, wicket sign, window sign, static electronic message display, static electronic message display with transition features, and partially animated electronic message display. Only one of each is permitted per use, except wall signs and window signs.
