(a) Purpose. Signage in heavier commercial and industrial districts is allowed to a greater extent, in size, number, and sign type, in order to maintain proportion to the size and scope of uses typically present within these districts. However, even the most intensive use districts in smaller communities are still limited in signage to some degree in order to maintain the small-town character of smaller communities and to limit visual distraction by signage.
(c) Signs Permitted as Accessory to Non-dwellings.
(1) Permitted permanent sign use as accessory to non-dwellings: A-Frame, Awning/Canopy, Chalkboard, Changeable Copy, EMD static, Flag, Geological, Minor, Monument, Projecting, Topiary, Wall, and Window. No more than four (4) permanent signs are permitted by right per use.
(2) Permitted temporary signs: A-Frame, Banner, Chalkboard, Flag, Minor, Pennant, Person-assisted, Wicket, and Window. No more than two (2) temporary signs are permitted by right per use.
