B. Signs Allowed: In addition to any sign exceptions allowed pursuant to section 10-12-3 of this chapter, the following signs are the only signs allowed in all Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts:
1. On-Premises Wall Signs: On-premises wall signs are allowed in all Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts. Wall signs may not exceed an aggregate area of more than one square foot per linear foot of building wall to which they are attached. Wall signs are not counted against a lot's allowed sign budget, pursuant to subsection C of this section.
2. On-Premises Projecting Signs: On-premises projecting signs are allowed in all Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts. Projecting signs are counted against a lot's allowed sign budget, pursuant to subsection C of this section. They are also subject to the regulations of subsection D of this section.
3. On-Premises Freestanding Signs: Freestanding signs are allowed in all Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts. Freestanding signs are counted against a lot's allowed sign budget, pursuant to subsection C of this section. They are also subject to the regulations of subsection D of this section.
4. Off-Premises Outdoor Advertising Signs: Off-premises outdoor advertising signs are subject to the regulations of subsection F of this section. Where allowed, off-premises outdoor advertising signs are counted against a lot's allowed sign budget, pursuant to subsection C of this section.
C. Sign Budget:
1. Applicability: The sign budget provisions of this subsection govern the maximum aggregate number and combined area of all projecting, roof, freestanding and off-premises outdoor advertising signs allowed on a lot in Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts, except as otherwise expressly stated.
2. Maximum Number: The maximum aggregate number of projecting, freestanding and off-premises outdoor advertising signs allowed on lots with frontage on one or more major streets may not exceed one sign per two hundred feet (200') of street frontage or fraction thereof.
3. Maximum Area: Signs allowed may not exceed thirty two (32) square feet in area or 0.20 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 Of On-Premises Projecting And Freestanding Signs: On-premises projecting signs and freestanding signs may not exceed twenty feet (20') in height.
E. Dynamic Displays On On-Premises Wall, Projecting And Freestanding Signs: A maximum of one of the on-premises wall signs, projecting signs or freestanding signs allowed on a lot in a Commercial or Industrial Zoning District may include a dynamic display. The dynamic display may not exceed the maximum sign area allowed for the respective sign type or forty eight (48) square feet, whichever is less. The sign area allowed for a dynamic display is not in addition to the maximum sign area allowed for a wall, projecting or freestanding sign, but rather is counted as part of the maximum area of the wall, projecting or freestanding sign. Only one, contiguous dynamic display is allowed on a wall, projecting or freestanding sign face. Off-premises outdoor advertising signs that incorporate a dynamic display are subject to the dynamic display regulations of section 10-12-9 of this chapter.
F. Off-Premises Outdoor Advertising Signs: Off-premises outdoor advertising signs are allowed only in compliance with regulations of this subsection F.
2. Maximum Number And Area: The maximum number and area of allowed off-premises outdoor advertising signs is governed by the sign budget provisions of subsection C of this section.
3. Maximum Height: Off-premises outdoor advertising signs may not exceed thirty feet (30') in height.
4. Orientation: All off-premises outdoor advertising signs must be oriented to be primarily visible from the adjacent roadway.
5. Required Setbacks, Spacing And Separations:
a. All off-premises outdoor advertising signs must be separated by a minimum distance of one thousand two hundred feet (1,200') from any other off-premises outdoor advertising sign except when the subject signs are separated by and on opposite sides of the same road.

7. Cutouts And Extensions: Cutouts or extensions are permitted and do not count in calculating the sign area of an off-premises outdoor advertising sign unless the cutouts or extensions exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the sign face, in which case the cutout or extension area in excess of fifteen percent (15%) of the sign face area does count.
8. Posts And Columns: Off-premises outdoor advertising signs that are freestanding may not be supported by more than one post or column unless required by site engineering considerations, as certified by a registered professional engineer.
