Signs in these districts are subject to all standards set forth in this title and to the following additional standards: (Ord. 2012-32, 10-16-2012)
A. Residential Uses, Developments: Signs for residential uses and developments in these districts shall be limited to those types listed in section 15-5-010 of this chapter.
B. Office, Commercial Uses: For office and commercial uses in these districts, only the following additional signs are permitted:
1. Awning signs;

3. Directory signs;
4. Identification signs;
5. Monument signs;
6. Project identification signs;
7. Projecting signs;
8. Temporary signs;
9. Service signs; and
10. Wall signs.
C. Ground Signs Prohibited: Ground signs, as defined in section 15-1-040 of this title, are not permitted.
D. Setback: The minimum setback from front property lines shall be ten feet (10'). If widening of public streets is planned or projected, this setback shall be measured from the future right of way line.
E. Size Of Temporary Signs: Temporary signs shall not exceed sixteen (16) square feet in size.
F. Wall Signs: The maximum area of wall signs shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the front building face of a main building and five percent (5%) of not more than one additional building face. For the purpose of this title, canopies over gasoline islands shall be considered accessory structures and may have wall signs incorporated into them which cover not more than twenty percent (20%) of the fascia of the roof portion of such structures.
G. Monument Sign For Complex: Each business or commercial complex may have one monument sign for each separate public street frontage. Such signs shall be set back a minimum of twenty five feet (25') from side property lines.
H. Master Plan For Signs: When site plan review is required for a proposed development, a master plan for signs shall be included with the application.
I. Exceptions: Exceptions to the provisions of this section may be made for signs for office and commercial uses within the business/residential (BR) zone. Such exceptions shall be requested and reviewed in accordance with the conditional use permit process set forth in title 11, chapter 8 of this code. This exception is founded upon the provisions of the downtown master plan for Farmington City. As noted in the downtown master plan, the downtown area of the city contains mixed and diverse uses necessitating and requiring flexibility and discretion in implementing and allowing special deviations from standard requirements of the zoning ordinance and other regulations in this area.
