Signs as permitted in the respective zoning districts shall conform to the maximum area limitations set forth in Schedule 1145.04, except as specified below.
(a) Business Identification Signs. The maximum permitted area for business identification signs shall be one square foot for each lineal foot of building frontage. The maximum permitted area shall be the sum total of the areas of all identification signs including wall signs, free-standing identification signs, and window signs for second-story tenants, and shall include the area of instructional signs unless the Planning Commission, as authorized, determines such instructional signs are exempt pursuant to division (b) of this section.
(b) Instructional Signs. The area of instructional signs that are clearly intended for instructional purposes and, as determined by the Planning Commission, as authorized, are not larger than necessary to serve the intended instructional purpose nor are in locations or possess design characteristics that constitute or serve the purposes of an identification sign shall not be included in the sum total of the area of identification signs.
(c) Institutional Identification Signs. For an institutional use in a Residential District the Planning Commission may approve a greater area for identification signs than specified in Schedule 1145.04 if the Planning Commission during the conditional use approval process determines that because of the size of the facility and the site the proposed larger sign will be consistent with the objectives, intent and criteria of these regulations.
