The surface area of a sign shall be computed as including the entire area within a regular, geometric form or combination of regular, geometric forms comprising all of the display area of the sign and including all of the elements of the matter displayed. Frames and structural members not being advertising matter shall not be included in computation of surface area. A sign may have one or two opposite faces or sides, each having the permitted sign area. Signs having more than two faces or sides shall be reduced in size so that the total surfaces visible from any one direction shall not exceed the permitted sign area.
