A sign or signs pertaining to a non-conforming use on the premises may be permitted upon approval by the Zoning Board of Appeals only after all of the following conditions are satisfied, and only if a sign would be allowed on the premises if said use were properly zoned.
(A) It is the intent of this section to allow non-conforming uses to have one sign for the purpose of identification, but because of the nature of non-conforming uses, they shall be more restrictive than those allowed for permitted uses. All signs under this section shall comply with all other applicable sections of this subchapter.
(B) Signs on non-conforming uses may be replaced only with signs of the same size or smaller, at the same location on the building or premises (or in a less conspicuous location) and of the same lighting (or less), but shall not be in violation of any other section of this subchapter.
(C) Only one sign shall be permitted on the premises of a non-conforming use except signs regulatory for parking areas.
(D) If no sign existed on the premises during the six months immediately preceding application for a sign permit under this section, the following regulations shall apply:
(1) A freestanding or attached sign shall not exceed 15 square feet in area;
(2) A freestanding sign shall not exceed six feet in height from the top of the sign to the ground, and shall be set back at least ten feet from all lot lines;
(3) An attached sign shall be of the fascia type only;
(4) No flashing lights or rotating signs shall be allowed; and
(5) No roof signs shall be allowed.
