   (a)   If the newsrack is placed adjacent to the wall of the building, the back of the newsrack shall be situated parallel to and not more than six inches from such wall. This section shall not preclude newsracks from being located on opposite corners of a street at an intersection.
   (b)   No more than four newsracks shall be placed immediately adjacent to each other. No more than four newsracks shall be permitted on any street corner or more than 16 newsracks on any four corners of an intersection or more than eight newsracks on a blockface, including the newsracks located on the corner.

No more than one permit shall be issued for each publication on one side of a block or within 200 feet of the same block face, whichever is less. A publication includes differing geographic editions of the same publication and daily and Sunday editions of the same publication. In cases where the block face is longer than 200 feet and there is space to legally install additional newsracks, then a permit for one publication to install a second newsrack on the same block face may be issued by the director.
