Signage in industrial areas is allowed to a greater extent, in size, number, and sign type, in order to maintain proportion to the size and scope of uses typically present within these districts. However, even the most intensive use districts in smaller communities are still limited in signage to some degree in order to maintain the small town character of smaller communities and to limit visual distraction by signage.
(b) Permitted sign use as accessory to non-dwellings: a-frame sign, awning or canopy sign, banner, chalkboard sign, changeable copy sign, commercial sign, feather sign, freestanding sign, marquee sign, monument sign, neon 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, window signs, and permitted off-premises signs.
(c) Off-premises signs are permitted and are counted towards the maximum square footage permitted on that lot.
(d) No more than one (1) flag as accessory to a dwelling and no more than two (2) flags as accessory to a non-dwelling are permitted.
