The following shall be used when calculating sign sizes and area:
A. When more than one use occupies a lot, the frontage may be used to calculate the sign size for one total ground or projecting sign, not for each use. The total may then be divided between the uses. There may be any number of flat or wall signs, provided their total does not exceed the percentage of wall area coverage allowed.
B. A property line that abuts a nonaccess freeway, road, street or right-of-way may only be used in computing sign area when the property has no other frontage or access on a dedicated street.
C. The area of a sign that is used for display purposes, excluding the minimum frame and supports. In computing sign area, only one side of a back to back or double faced sign shall be computed when signs are parallel or diverge from a common edge by an angle of not more than forty five degrees (45°). In relation to signs that do not have a frame or a separate background, sign area shall be computed on the basis of the least rectilinear line with a maximum of eight (8) sides, triangle or circle large enough to frame the display. Sign areas in the shape of a sphere, prism, cylinder, cone, pyramid, square or other such shapes shall be computed as one-half (1/2) of the total surface area. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012)
No sign shall be located on publicly owned land or inside street rights-of-way except signs required and erected by permission of an authorized public agency. Signs shall include, but not be limited to, handbills, posters, advertisements or notices that are fastened, placed, posted, painted or attached in any way upon any curbstone, lamppost, utility pole, hydrant, bridge, tree, rock, sidewalk or street.
