The city has, therefore, adopted the following policies regarding signage in the city:
(A) Signs shall be limited to the identification of the business and/or product or service being sold or leased on the premises. Logos for national or regional businesses shall be addressed as a special consideration in reviewing compliance with the provisions of this subchapter.
(B) Signage shall be no larger or higher than necessary for adequate identification of the business or building.
(C) Signs shall be designed with minimum copy and crowding.
(D) Signs shall identify a business without interfering with the ability of adjoining businesses to properly identify themselves.
(E) Signs located on the same lot or parcel shall be designed to be harmonious and visually related to other signs on the same lot or parcel as well as the building on rich they are located. This shall be accomplished and enforced by the requirement of a Master Sign Plan for such lots or parcels with multiple businesses and signs.
(F) Signs in residential zones shall be designed and located so as to minimize the visual impact on adjoining residential properties.
