(a) Signs. The main identification sign of a building shall be designed as part of the building and applied to the structure itself, or, where conditions dictate, it shall be freestanding. The design, format, size and material standards for all signage shall conform to Chapter 1390 of the Planning and Zoning Code and be subject to review by the City's Architectural Review Board, except that pole signs are prohibited. The Architectural Review Board will not approve signs that are glossy, reflective or flashing or that have moving parts.
(b) Lighting. Parking areas, buildings, courtyards or other relatively large open areas shall be illuminated wherever the Planning and Zoning Commission determines that such illumination is necessary to insure the public safety. Lighting fixtures shall not exceed the maximum height allowed for all buildings in the district and shall be designed and located so as not to cast direct rays of excessive brightness upon adjoining residential districts or cause glare hazardous to pedestrians or motorists on adjacent public streets. Therefore, the illumination of such areas shall be of a continuous, uniform intensity with a maximum lighting strength of 0.2 footcandles.
