The sign area and the sign height shall not exceed those listed in the following table:
Each Street Frontage | Height | Face Area |
0 - 50 | 4' | 12 Sq. Ft. |

(3) Number. The allowable number of freestanding signs shall be as follows:
(a) The total face area may be utilized in one sign or be divided among one sign per street frontage, with a maximum height of eight feet and provided a minimum distance of one-half of the width of the lot is maintained between each sign and the street corner of the lot. This provision shall be for frontages having 201 feet or greater of the total street frontage and shall be approved by the Planning Director.

(2) Location. The location of such signs shall not be less than one foot inside the property line and shall not interfere with the safety of vehicular traffic entering into or exiting from the business center or with vehicular street traffic or pedestrians.

(2) Area allowed for street frontages without public entrances.
