A. Generally
If not exempt under Section 6.7.3, Exempt Signs, the following signs are allowed only when approved as part of a sign concept plan for an optional method development project approved by the Sign Review Board. Before approving any sign concept plan the Sign Review Board must hold a public hearing on the sign concept plan after giving the public 30 days notice and verifying that the applicant has satisfied all applicable variance notice requirements.
1. Roof Sign
A sign painted on the roof of a building or supported by poles, uprights, or braces extending from or attached to the roof of a building or projected above the roof of a building. A wall sign is not a roof sign, and for the purposes of Division 6.7 a roof surface constructed at an angle of within 15 degrees of vertical is regarded as wall space. Screening that encloses equipment such as heating, ventilating and air conditioning unit, an elevator shaft, and stairs located on a roof are also considered wall space.
2. Moved by the Wind
A sign in the form of a banner, pennant, streamer, ribbon, spinner, balloon, string of lights, or other device that will move in the wind or be moved manually on a lot or parcel.
B. Variances
Except for signs that are prohibited under Section 6.7.4, a permanent sign not listed as allowed in a specific zone or that does not satisfy this Division must obtain a variance from the Sign Review Board.
