18-3-3: FRONTAGE CALCULATIONS:

The following requirements shall be used in determining the maximum sign area permitted given the following frontage conditions:

A. Two Frontages: Where a building has frontage on more than one street, both sides may be used in calculating the allowable sign area.

B. Multi-Tenants:

1. Where more than one tenant occupies a building and has frontage on the ground floor, the length of the exterior wall under the exclusive control of a tenant may be used in determining his frontage. In multi-story buildings, only the ground floor may be used in determining allowable area.

2. Where a tenant occupies a portion of a building without street frontage or does not have frontage on the ground floor, the frontage of the common public entrances to the building shall be used to determine the tenant's frontage. Signage for tenants in this case shall be a wall sign. The total signage for all such tenants shall be limited to the allowable area for that individual length of frontage.
