Internally or externally illuminated signs and bare bulb signs shall be permitted, per the regulations of this Chapter, provided they meet the following requirements:
(A) Signs shall be illuminated only by steady, stationary, shielded or shaded light sources directed solely at the sign or internal to it so that the light intensity or brightness does not create either a nuisance to adjacent property or a traffic hazard for motorists or pedestrians.
(B) Individual letters or logos shall be internally illuminated. All other portions of the sign shall be opaque.
(C) No exposed reflective type bulb and no strobe light shall be used.
(D) Illuminated signs shall produce no more than thirty (30) foot-candles of illumination, four (4) feet from the sign.
(E) Whenever external illumination is used to illuminate a sign, the source of light shall be located, shielded, and directed in such a manner that the light source is not visible from a public street or private residence. (Ord. 2021-4931, 11-15-2021)
