(A) For purposes of this section, a side of a freestanding sign is any plane or flat surface area included in the calculation of the total sign surface area as provided herein.
(B) Unless otherwise provided, a single side of a freestanding sign may not exceed one-half square foot in surface area for every linear foot of frontage along the street toward which the sign is primarily oriented. However, in no case may a single side of a freestanding sign exceed 125 square feet in surface area.
(1) Within any Mixed Use Institutional District (MUI), a single side of a freestanding sign may not exceed one-half square foot in surface area for every linear foot of frontage along the street toward which the sign is primarily oriented. However in no case may a single side of a freestanding sign in this district exceed 200 square feet in surface area.
(C) With respect to freestanding signs that have no discernible “sides,” such as spheres or other shapes not composed of flat planes, no such freestanding signs may exceed one square foot in total surface area for every linear foot of lot frontage along the street toward which the sign is primarily oriented. However, in no case may the sign exceed 200 square feet in surface area.
(D) For purposes of this section, a single side of a double-face freestanding sign shall be considered as the total display surface for the calculation of sign area, provided the sides are separated no more than 30 inches at any point.
