(a) In the Neighborhood Commercial, Office/Community Service, General Commercial and Light Industrial Districts, each business shall be permitted one (1) wall-mounted sign. Projections of wall-mounted signs shall not exceed one foot (1') measured from the main wall of the building.
(b) The area of all permanent wall advertising signs for any single business enterprise shall be limited according to the width of the building or part of the building occupied by such enterprise. For the purpose of this Section, width shall be measured along the building face nearest parallel to the street line. In the case of a corner lot, either width may be used in determining maximum area of the sign. Such signs shall be erected on the designated width used in computing allowable sign area.
(c) The area of all permanent advertising signs for any single building shall be equivalent to one and one-half square feet (1-1/2 s.f.) of sign area for each linear foot of width of building, but shall not exceed a maximum area of one hundred square feet (100 s.f.). In computing the area of wall signs, all faces on which advertising is displayed are considered sign area.
(d) Free-standing advertising signs may be erected provided the sign does not exceed fifteen (15') in height and does not have a total sign area of more than one hundred twenty square feet (120 s.f.). The area of any face of said sign shall not exceed sixty square feet (60 s.f.). The sixty square foot (60 s.f.) total sign area applies whether a free-standing advertising sign is used exclusively or in conjunction with other signs and is to be located not closer than ten feet (10') to a public right-of-way or thirty-five feet (35') to an adjoining property line. There shall be not more than one (1) free-standing advertising sign per parcel.
(e) An owner, occupant, or person having control over a residential, industrial, commercial, or public building shall display the numerical address of the building in numbers not less than three inches (3") in height.
