Such structures and signs shall be approved and a permit issued subject to the following restrictions:
(a) The entranceway structure shall be necessary in order to identify a development in which individual parcels or uses are accessible only by way of public streets that serve more than two (2) zoning lots or by way of private places or drives that serve more than two (2) separate and distinct principal uses.
(b) Such structures may be located within the right-of-way that is perpendicular to an arterial or collector street which provides access to a subdivision plat, site condominium, multiple-family development, office or industrial park, mobile home park, or other planned development. The sole exception will be those entranceway structures within a UVO designated area and detailed within the UVO design/ development standards.
(c) Such structure may be located within a required setback provided it shall be set back a minimum of twenty-five (25) feet from any edge of pavement or back of curb, and the location meets the requirements of Section 1250.54 (Clear Vision Zones).

(3) Entranceway structures and signs may be located only in yards or right of way adjacent to streets entering the development indicated on the sign.
(4) Entranceway structures that are to be located on individually owned parcels rather than on parcels that are part of an overall development, may be allowed only in a private easement dedicated for such purposes and provided that appropriate provision has been made to assure continued maintenance of the structure.
(5) The area of sign shall be limited to 18 square feet in districts A-1, R-1 through R-5, 32 square feet in RM districts and 48 square feet in non-residential districts.
