(A) No sign shall be erected, installed, altered, or maintained in any zoning district in the city, including public and private streets therein, except in conformity with this subchapter. All signs shall comply with the particular regulations of the district in which they are located.
(B) No sign attached to a building shall extend above the height of the building, project more than 30 inches from the outside wall of the building nor project in a manner as to impede movement on a public sidewalk, street, alley, or other public way. Signs shall be maintained in an attractive and structurally safe condition. All exterior parts shall be painted, coated, or made of rust inhibitive material. Any supporting structure shall be free of any bracing such as guy wires or cables and shall be designed as an architectural feature of the building.
(C) No sign shall obstruct any door, fire escape, or free passage over any public right-of-way or create a traffic hazard. Signs shall be placed with care so as not to obscure unreasonably existing conforming signs on adjacent properties.
(D) On a site on which more than one lawful use conducted, each use shall be permitted an identification sign not larger in area than the identification sign for uses permitted under the requirements of the zoning district in which the site is located. However, the total site area on site shall not exceed the total sign area for the site as permitted in the zoning district.
