(a) A property may display any number of signs, provided that the signs are of a sign type allowed in the district and provided that the aggregate sign area of all signs (in square feet) on the lot does not exceed one-half of the lot's frontage (in linear feet) or 300 square feet, whichever is less. For example, a lot with forty (40) feet of frontage may display up to twenty (20) square feet of sign area, distributed over any number of signs.
(b) No individual sign may exceed a sign area (in square feet) equal to the front setback of the sign (in linear feet) or twelve (12) square feet, whichever is more. For example, if a sign has a front setback of twenty (20) feet, it may not exceed twenty (20) square feet in sign area.
(c) No building-mounted sign may exceed a sign height equal to fourteen (14) feet plus one-third of the sign's front setback. For example, if a building-mounted sign has a front setback of twenty-four (24) feet, it may not exceed twenty-two (22) feet in sign height.
(d) No freestanding sign may exceed a sign height equal to four (4) feet plus one-third of the sign's front setback. For example, if a freestanding sign has a front setback of twenty-four (24) feet, it may not exceed twelve (12) feet in sign height.
(e) A building-mounted sign may not project more than four (4) feet towards the right-of-way. Other signs must be set back at least three feet from the sidewalk edge.
