(a) The regulations contained in this Chapter shall apply to signs outside of the public right-of-way, except when specifically stated otherwise.
(b) A sign may only be erected, established, painted, created or maintained in the City in conformance with the standards, procedures, exemptions and other requirements of this Chapter.
(c) All permanent signs shall comply with the sign design guidelines set forth in Section 1179.10, Design Standards.
(d) Architectural Features. Architectural features that are either part of the building or part of a freestanding structure are not considered signs and are thus exempt from these regulations. Architectural features include:
(1) Any construction attending to, but not an integral part of the sign, and which may consist of landscape or building or structural forms that enhance the site in general.
(2) Graphic stripes and other architectural painting techniques applied to a structure that serves a functional purpose or to a building when the stripes or other painting technique do not include lettering, logos or pictures.
