(a) Purpose. On-premises signage and limited off-premises signage is needed in office residential, education and institutional, and neighborhood commercial areas. However, in lower intensity nonresidential districts, particularly those near residential development and neighboring residential districts, signage should remain less intrusive by being smaller, shorter in height, and more uniform in sign type to maintain compatibility with neighboring districts and limit the visual distraction of signage.
(c) Signs Permitted as Accessory to Non-dwellings.
(1) Permitted permanent sign use as accessory to non-dwellings: A-Frame, Awning/Canopy, Chalkboard, Flag, Geological, Minor, Monument, Topiary, Wall, and Window. No more than two (2) permanent signs are permitted by right per use, excluding wall signs.
(2) Permitted temporary signs: A-Frame, Banner, Chalkboard, Flag, Minor, Pennant, Wicket, and Window. No more than two (2) temporary signs are permitted by right per use.
(3) No more than three (3) flags.
