(A) In measuring the copy area of a
, the entire face of the
be included. Where both sides of a double-faced
contain lettering or other allowable display, one side only
be used to compute the allowable copy area of the
. Where the
consists of individual letters, numbers, characters, figures, or displays attached in some manner to a
or a
face of irregular shape, the
copy area
include the area of the smallest circle, square, or rectangle that can encompass the total
area composed of letters, numbers, characters, figures, or displays or the irregular shaped
face. Where signs have appendages or additions, such as "pop-ups" or "cutouts" that extend beyond the main
copy area, the area of such appendages or additions
be measured separately, but included in the total
copy area. Also to be included in the total
copy area
be any area designed for changeable copy as defined in § 154.261. Spherical, cylindrical or other three-dimensional signs not having conventional
faces
be computed from the smallest three- dimensional geometrical shape or shapes which best approximate the actual surface area of the
.
(B) The maximum height of a be measured from the highest point of natural grade under the to the highest point of the . The grade not be altered in such a way as to increase the height.
