(1 additional 48 square foot sign may be added for each 100 linear feet of frontage.)
b. Maximum size, banner, sail or flag: Thirty two (32) square feet.
(1) The size of the sign within an Industrial or Light Industrial Zoning District may be increased to forty eight (48) square feet for each one hundred (100) linear feet of continuously owned/leased industrial frontage.

3. Awning Signs: Awning signs shall be permitted.
4. Pole And/Or Ground Sign: One pole or ground sign per site for each street frontage shall be permitted not exceeding thirty feet (30') in height from grade to the uppermost part of the sign or pole providing all general regulations are met in addition to the following standards:
a. For pole signs three (3) to twenty feet (20') in height, up to two (2) square feet of the total sign area allowed may be utilized for each linear foot of building frontage and up to one square foot of the total sign area allowed may be utilized for each linear foot of open space frontage.
b. For pole signs greater than twenty feet (20') and up to thirty feet (30') in height, the following shall apply:
(1) The allowable sign face area based on building frontage shall decrease by one-tenth (1/10) of a square foot of sign area for each one foot (1') above twenty feet (20') in height. The following table illustrates:
(2) This table is based on a formula which can also be utilized for signs with irregular heights: [2 - (height over 20' x 0.1)] x linear feet building frontage + [1 - (height over 20' x 0.05)] x linear feet open space frontage = sign area.
(3) A reduction in sign face area for signs between twenty (20) and thirty feet (30') in height does not reduce the total area allowed for the site as outlined in subsection A of this section.
c. In cases where the street frontage is one hundred eighty feet (180') or greater, one additional pole or ground sign per site may be permitted when all other general regulations are met. In no case shall more than two (2) pole or ground signs per street frontage be permitted without an exception by the hearing examiner.
