B. Signs Allowed: In addition to any sign exceptions allowed pursuant to section 10-12-3 of this chapter, lots in CO Zoning Districts are allowed a maximum of one on-premises sign per street frontage. The allowed on-premises sign may be a wall sign, a projecting sign or a freestanding sign. Off-premises outdoor advertising signs are prohibited in CO Districts.
C. Maximum Area: Signs allowed in the CO District may not exceed thirty two (32) square feet in area or 0.30 square feet of sign area per linear foot of street frontage, whichever is greater, but in no case may the sign exceed one hundred fifty (150) square feet in area. The maximum sign area calculation must be based on the street frontage to which the sign is oriented.
D. Maximum Height: Freestanding signs in the CO District may not exceed twenty feet (20') in height.
E. Dynamic Displays: Dynamic displays are prohibited in CO Districts except that on a lot occupied by an allowed public, civic or institutional use, either the allowed wall sign or the allowed freestanding sign may include a dynamic display.
1. The allowed dynamic display component may not exceed thirty two (32) square feet in area, and no more than one (wall or freestanding) dynamic display is allowed per street frontage.
2. The sign area allowed for a dynamic display is not in addition to the maximum sign area allowed for a wall or freestanding sign, but rather is counted as part of the maximum area of a wall or freestanding sign.
3. Dynamic displays in CO Districts may operate only between the hours of seven o'clock (7:00) A.M. and nine o'clock (9:00) P.M.
4. Dynamic displays are subject to the dynamic display regulations of section 10-12-9 of this chapter. (Ord. 2018-16, 12-4-2018)
